# Gendo vs Rendair

Rendair and Gendo are both built for design teams. Both have visual boards, commercial licences and a commitment not to train on your files. The main difference is how usage is billed: Rendair runs on monthly credits, and Gendo Studio includes unlimited image generations for up to five editors.
