Enterprise contract only. No self-serve sign-up and no public price list.\n\n**Bria API.** Per-image prices, 100 free calls without a card, OpenAPI files and Markdown docs make a first call quick, and the terms warrant that customer content is not used for training. Keys are organisation-wide with no scopes, and the API has no changelog or deprecation policy.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Adobe Firefly API\n\n1. Call the REST async endpoints directly. `@adobe/firefly-apis` 2.0.1 targets the removed synchronous paths and has no Image 5 or upscale methods\n2. Cache the IMS token and refresh it before its 24 hours run out\n3. Poll `/v3/status/{jobId}`, back off on 429 using the retry-after header, and download results within the hour their URLs stay valid\n4. Send `precise_upsampler_v1` to Upscale. `creative_upsampler_v1` returns 422 since 2026-04-24\n5. Image 5 lives at `/v4/images/generate-async`. Image 3 and 4 stay on `/v3/images/generate-async`\n\n### Bria API\n\n1. Send the key in the `api_token` header, not as `Authorization: Bearer`. Only `/v2/image/verify` and `/v2/video/verify` work without it\n2. Expect `202` with `request_id` and `status_url` from v2 endpoints. Poll `GET /v2/status/{request_id}` every 1 to 2 seconds, or pass `sync: true`\n3. Status polls count towards the per-endpoint limit (10 a minute on Free, 60 on Pay-as-you-go), so prefer `webhook_url` for batches\n4. Download results promptly. Image URLs expire after 3 days by default, and legacy `/v1/product/*` results after 1 hour\n5. Do not resend a failed `POST` blindly. There is no idempotency key, and the SDKs retry status polls only\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Adobe Firefly API or Bria API?\n\nBria API scores 63.7 (B) on agent readiness against Adobe Firefly API's 49 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Adobe Firefly API leads on security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Adobe Firefly API and Bria API need an API key?\n\nAdobe Firefly API uses an OAuth sign-in. Bria API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Adobe Firefly API and Bria API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Adobe Firefly API has a hosted endpoint at https://firefly-api.adobe.io and Bria API at https://engine.prod.bria-api.com/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-bria.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-bria.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"adobe-firefly\", \"b\": \"bria\"}`.
