Imagera vs Civitai
Training LoRAs and using them
Both train LoRAs in the browser and sell plans with a monthly allowance; Imagera's LoRA Studio quotes a training from 655 credits before you start. Civitai's paid plans start at $10 a month billed monthly (10,000 Green Buzz/month); Imagera's start at $19.99 (240 credits/month), with one-time packs from $39.99. Each platform prices its models differently, so compare the cost of the job you plan to run rather than the credit count.
A site where people share and download AI models, LoRAs included. Buzz, its on-site currency, pays for its image generator and its LoRA trainer, and tips creators. Every Civitai fact below links to the page it came from.

Imagera outputQuestions
Can I use a LoRA from Civitai on Imagera?
Yes, as a file. Imagera does not fetch links to model-sharing pages, so download the .safetensors and upload it to My LoRAs, or host it on Hugging Face and paste its /resolve/ link. The LoRA has to match the base model you pick, and its own licence still applies.
How much does LoRA training cost on Imagera?
From 655 credits a training at the default settings. More steps or a higher training resolution cost more, and LoRA Studio shows the price before you start.
