InvokeAI pros and cons
Commercially friendly Apache-2.0 license for the application code
Unified Canvas with inpainting, outpainting, and brush tools for iterative editing
Node-based Workflows for building and sharing repeatable generation pipelines
Broad model support including Stable Diffusion, SDXL, SD 3.5, and Flux variants
Needs a reasonably powerful GPU with enough VRAM for good speed and larger models
Model weights carry their own licenses separate from the app, so check usage terms
The node/workflow system has a real learning curve for newcomers
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
