Chromatic AI review: AI canvas for image, video and sound with monthly credits, for agencies and brands

What Chromatic AI does

Runs image, video and sound models on one canvas, where the Light assistant writes prompts, and Skills save looks for reuse.

Chromatic Labs describes itself as an AI production workspace built around a single canvas. An assistant called Light works on that canvas: it drafts prompts, runs current models and hands back the output. Image, video and sound models are placed next to each other, so a team can brainstorm, generate and edit without switching tools.

The site targets agencies and the brands they produce for. For agencies it describes placing characters, frames and a rough cut in a pitch deck, and building storyboards from a script where clients comment on individual shots. Brand examples include recurring offer films, weekly catalogue and ad content, and a micro drama series. Skills let a team save a look or pipeline and run it again later; starter skills include product video, UGC talking video and storyboards.

Pricing is based on credits, and one credit is one cent. They renew monthly and can be spent on image, video or sound. The canvas shows the cost before you generate. The paid plans are priced at monthly billing: Ray at $20 / mo with 2,000 credits, Beam at $50 / mo with 5,000 credits, Focus at $100 / mo with 10,000 credits and Spectrum at $200 / mo with 20,000 credits, each billed monthly and cancellable anytime. Beam adds commercial use, Focus adds a priority generation queue, and Spectrum adds custom brand workflows, onboarding and direct founder support. A Free plan starts you with 100 credits, 14 models and 30 assistant messages per day, with no card needed. The page also shows a Yearly option labelled Save 20 %, but no yearly prices appear in its text.

Our take

According to its pages, Chromatic Labs is aimed at agencies and the brands they make work for, so it fits teams that want pitching, storyboarding with client comments and repeatable campaign runs in one place. The pages name no other audiences. The free plan allows a look at the product before paying, and the cost is shown before each generation. Trade-offs: the Free plan covers 14 models, commercial use is listed from Beam at $50 / mo billed monthly, longer or audio clips cost more than the page's example, and custom workflow pricing is set separately. Yearly prices are not listed, so compare credit needs against your own volume.
