Enormous library of open models and LoRAs
Free browsing, downloading and posting
On-site generation removes the GPU barrier
Active community with reviews and sample prompts
Content moderation and NSFW material can be inconsistent
Model licensing is often ambiguous
Buzz credit costs vary and add up for heavy use
Fooocus pros and cons
Extremely easy to install and use; type a prompt and get good results with no tuning
Smart defaults and built-in styles produce polished images out of the box
Runs offline on modest hardware, with a minimum of about 4GB NVIDIA VRAM
Still includes inpainting, image prompts, aspect ratios, and face swap when you want control
In maintenance mode: bug fixes only, with no current plans for new features
Locked to the Stable Diffusion XL architecture; no support for newer models like Flux
Officially targets NVIDIA GPUs; AMD and Mac support is in beta and much slower
