Clients register dynamically, use the authorisation code grant with PKCE and refresh tokens, and revoke at the token endpoint; the authorisation server metadata lists PKCE plain and S256 and no scopes, the docs say S256, and the connection works with the user's own role in each workspace, with no workspace picker. Token lifetimes are not documented and FLORA does not list OAuth connections in its settings, so a connection is ended from the client. For headless clients and the REST API at https://app.flora.ai/api/v1, an admin (or an editor, unless an admin turns that off) makes an API key (`ak_`, older `flora_sk_` still accepted) under Settings, API Keys, chooses its workspaces and Read, Write and Billing permissions per workspace, sees it once, holds up to five, and revokes each at once; it is sent as `Authorization: Bearer`. No key expiry or rotation feature is documented.

Adobe's other listings give the same page 15 of 20 on the same evidence, so this listing is brought into line (15, from 10).

Operators see spend by member in the app and through `flora_get_usage`, organisation usage exports through the API, `charged_cost` per run and failed webhook deliveries; FLORA's own MCP logs are not exposed to the operator (9 of 15). The trust centre lists SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and CCPA (published 26 October 2026) with no report shown; no security.txt was found on flora.ai, and no disclosure policy or bug bounty for the service. The SDK's SECURITY.md points SDK reports at Stainless while its README says the SDK is generated by Fern (8 of 20). 24+16+11+9+8 = 68."

No self-serve sign-up and no public price list\n\n### FLORA (B)\n\nGood for: Agents working for a design or brand team that already uses FLORA, generating batches of images and clips across many hosted models into the team's canvases and Techniques, with a dollar quote before each spend and the results left where people review and comment on them.\n\nAhead on:\n- Agent ergonomics, 68 against 57\n- Security \u0026 auth, 68 against 63\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 53 against 0\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 83 against 13\n\nWatch for: No requests-per-minute limit, SLA or readable status history; status.flora.ai could not be read because its robots.txt did not load\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: FLORA +70\n\n- Adobe Firefly API (13): Model reading. The changelog's newest entry is still Upscale going GA on 24 April 2026, 194 days before this check, so the recency line falls from 10 to 0 (cause time). The AdobeDocs repository, cloned on 4 November, has no commit after 3 June 2026 on any branch. Its last spec change, on 8 May, corrects the documented `resolutionLevel` values for Image 5 (2MP and auto replaced by 2.4MP) with no changelog entry, version or tag, so it isn't counted as an API change, as Adobe's PDF Services docs commits aren't. For models we look at churn and notice. No changelog entry in the 90 days from 6 August, Image 5's `/v4` endpoint has no dated entry, and the Upscale GA renamed `creative_upsampler_v1` and rejected the old value with 422 in the same entry (5). Public changelog and enterprise support through an account manager (6). The one official SDK, `@adobe/firefly-apis` 2.0.1 from 24 June 2025, still has no 2026 endpoints, and its repository's last commit is 24 June 2025 (0). The SDK repo's CI builds pull requests with the test step commented out (2). 0+5+6+0+2 = 13.\n- FLORA (83): Closed service with a dated changelog. The newest MCP changelog entry is 23 October 2026, and flora.ai/updates has product entries to 28 October (30). 31 dated MCP changelog entries between 4 August and 23 October 2026 (20). Support at support@florafauna.ai, bug and feature forms, a Discord linked from the home page, weekly training sessions, and GitHub issues on the skills repository as its support URL (2 open); no response times stated (10 of 15). ai.flora/flora 0.11.5 is in the official MCP registry under a DNS-verified namespace since 16 October 2026 (15). The TypeScript SDK @flora-ai/flora 0.21.1 (14 October 2026, 157 downloads in the week to 1 November) has CI, release-please and an npm publish workflow; the skills repository was last pushed on 18 October 2026 (8 of 10). 30+20+10+15+8 = 83.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: FLORA +53\n\n- Adobe Firefly API (0): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No public price list, access through an enterprise contract with Adobe sales (0). No free tier (0). A person has to negotiate a contract before any key exists (0). Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 0 is 0.\n- FLORA (53): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-generation prices for every model are published without a login on the model-pricing page, with plan prices on the pricing page (20). Free gives each new workspace $2.50 of usage, which the docs and the MCP changelog (1 September 2026) say an agent can spend through MCP; the REST API answers `paid_plan_required` on Free, the pricing page marks MCP 'Not included' there, and no page says whether Free needs a card, so this is a one-off trial on one surface (15 of 20). A person signs up in a browser and approves OAuth, or makes a key in Settings (0). 0+20+15+0 = 35. Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 35 is 53.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: FLORA +11\n\n- Adobe Firefly API (57): Async jobs return result URLs, not bytes (20). Variation count and size controls (15). Error codes documented in the reference, 422 for a retired model header (12). No idempotency key, though a job can be cancelled at `/v3/cancel/{jobId}`. Every generation is a job to poll at `/v3/status/{jobId}` (6). Two headers plus a token exchange before the first call. The only SDK, `@adobe/firefly-apis` 2.0.1, was published on 24 June 2025 and calls the synchronous `/v3/images/generate`, `/expand` and `/fill` paths that the changelog lists as removed on 3 October 2025. It has no Image 5, composite or upscale methods (4). The spec and the SDK repository, re-read in clones on 4 November, are unchanged on these points.\n- FLORA (68): MCP reading for context cost. 59 tools (56 callable by the model) with no toolsets or read-only subset; since 23 September 2026 the list is filtered to the account's access and `flora_list_tools` returns what the connection has (7 of 25). Cursor pagination with `limit` 1 to 100 on 10 REST list endpoints, history filters by workspace, project and status, `include_inputs` off by default, per-node and per-slide document reads, and up to 20 runs read in one call (17 of 20). One REST error envelope with `code`, `message` and field errors, retryability per code, a `Flora-Request-Id`, MCP failures grouped into retry now, retry later, change input and report, and retired tool names answering with their replacement (18 of 20). `Idempotency-Key` on every mutating REST request and a body key on Technique runs; every MCP tool carries readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations and spending tools are marked destructive; `quote: true` prices before running; the MCP create call has no idempotency key (16 of 20). Few required parameters (`project_id`, `type`, `prompt`, with the workspace resolved from the project) and an official TypeScript SDK and a Go CLI, but no SDK in a second language (10 of 15). 7+17+18+16+10 = 68.\n\n### Reliability: Adobe Firefly API +9\n\n- Adobe Firefly API (55): Adobe's hosts were not requested on 4 November. www.adobe.com's robots.txt says automated access to the Adobe site needs Adobe's express permission, and Adobe's terms sit on that host, so developer.adobe.com and status.adobe.com were left alone, as on Adobe's other listings. status.adobe.com was drawn only by script on 1 and 2 October and no Firefly Services component was confirmed. Adobe's other listings give the same page 15 of 20 on the same evidence, so this listing is brought into line (15, from 10). The 2 October readings of Adobe's status data feed and of a third-party status mirror are withdrawn, since this run reads neither, and no history is readable (5). Default limits of 4 requests a minute and 9,000 a day per organisation, raised through an account manager, re-read on 4 November in the usage notes source in the AdobeDocs/ffs-firefly-api repository (15). The same page says a 429 comes back over the limit and advises retrying on the retry-after header or with exponential backoff. No idempotency key or safe-retry guidance was found for generation jobs, so this run's value for backoff guidance alone applies (10, from 15). No SLA published, per the 1 October check (0). Image generation and, since 24 April 2026, Upscale are GA (10). 15+5+15+10+0+10 = 55.\n- FLORA (46): Hosted reading, for the MCP server and the REST API. A status page at status.flora.ai is linked from the home page and the MCP page, but its robots.txt answered a client error twice on 2 November 2026, so under our rules nothing on that host was fetched and its components are unread (10 of 20, for a linked page whose content we could not check). No readable incident history, so the floor, and this is our fetch rule rather than a finding about FLORA (5). No requests-per-minute figure is published, as the cost and limits page says in so many words; batch sizes (1 to 20 generations, 20 run ids, 50 canvas nodes, 25 files), the polling cooldown (15 seconds, or 2 seconds a run) and one-at-a-time generation for new unpaid accounts are given with numbers (8 of 15). 429 `rate_limited` is documented with `Retry-After` on the API and `retry_after_seconds` on MCP, a 60-second fallback, exponential backoff and a retryability table, and the SDK retries 408, 429 and 5xx twice. `Idempotency-Key` covers every mutating REST request for two hours, but `flora_create_generations` over MCP has none and the docs say to read history before retrying (13 of 15). No SLA; the terms provide the service as is (0). No beta or preview label on either surface; the old beta endpoint was removed on 30 June 2026, though the registry version is 0.11.5 (10). 10+5+8+13+0+10 = 46.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: FLORA +5\n\n- Adobe Firefly API (63): Model reading of the checklist (credential, training, retention, operator visibility, programme), as `model` listings are read in this run, with the same total as the 1 October tool-line reading. OAuth server-to-server credentials from the Adobe Developer Console, exchanged at Adobe IMS for 24-hour bearer tokens, and client secrets that can be listed, rotated and deleted through the I/O Management API, per the Developer Console guide in the AdobeDocs clone (30). Adobe says it doesn't train Firefly on Creative Cloud or Experience Cloud subscribers' personal content, per the 2 October reading, not re-read on 4 November. The statement isn't specific to API inputs (15). No retention period for prompts, uploads or outputs. The spec gives access windows only, 7 days for uploads and one hour for result URLs (5). No per-call audit log found (0). Security programme per the 2 October check, not re-read on 4 November. security.txt valid per the provenance check, a public bug bounty on Intigriti that names Adobe Firefly, and public security bulletins, with no certification counted because the compliance list couldn't be loaded (13). osv.dev lists no advisory for `@adobe/firefly-apis`. 30+15+5+0+13 = 63.\n- FLORA (68): OAuth with the authorisation code grant, PKCE (the metadata lists plain and S256, the docs S256), dynamic client registration, refresh tokens and revocation at the token endpoint, with no named scopes, no documented token lifetimes and no list of OAuth connections in FLORA's settings; API keys `ak_` scoped to chosen workspaces with Read, Write and Billing permissions, shown once, five at a time and revoked at once, with no expiry or rotation feature. Only the header form is documented (24 of 30). Read-only keys and per-workspace scoping, roles that cap what an agent can do, guests who cannot generate, spending caps per member, workspace, organisation and overage, and a quote-first rule; `flora_run_canvas_nodes` spends with no confirmation step (16 of 20). Agents read canvas prompts, comments, Techniques and files written by others; the security page says to treat them as data, to review the quote after reading shared content and to use least-privilege keys for unattended accounts, with no technical filtering described (11 of 15). Operators see spend by member in the app and through `flora_get_usage`, organisation usage exports through the API, `charged_cost` per run and failed webhook deliveries; FLORA's own MCP logs are not exposed to the operator (9 of 15). The trust centre lists SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and CCPA (published 26 October 2026) with no report shown; no security.txt was found on flora.ai, and no disclosure policy or bug bounty for the service. The SDK's SECURITY.md points SDK reports at Stainless while its README says the SDK is generated by Fern (8 of 20). 24+16+11+9+8 = 68.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Adobe Firefly API | FLORA | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 55 | 46 | Adobe Firefly API +9 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 78 | 79 | FLORA +1 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 57 | 68 | FLORA +11 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 63 | 68 | FLORA +5 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 0 | 53 | FLORA +53 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 13 | 83 | FLORA +70 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 69 | 68 | Adobe Firefly API +1 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **51.1 · D** | **64.8 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Adobe Firefly API | FLORA |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Model API | Platform |\n| Vendor | Adobe | FLORA |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://firefly-api.adobe.io` | `https://agents.flora.ai/mcp` |\n| Transports | HTTP | Streamable HTTP, HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Paid | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | none | Proprietary hosted service under FLORA's terms of service (updated 17 November 2025), which give the user all rights in output.

Access is by enterprise contract only, with no self-serve sign-up or public price list, and the changelog's newest entry is 24 April 2026.\n\n**FLORA.** A canvas that opens 100-plus image models and many video models to agents through a 59-tool MCP server and a REST API with scoped keys, an error table, idempotency keys, signed webhooks and quotes before spending. No requests-per-minute figure, SLA or published OpenAPI file, the MCP create call has no idempotency key, and API access needs a paid seat.\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### FLORA\n\n1. Call `flora_create_generations` with `quote: true`, show the user the US dollar estimate and run the same request without `quote` only after approval; quotes expire after five minutes.\n2. Poll `flora_list_generations` no more often than every 15 seconds, or 2 seconds per run for batches up to 20; reading early returns a 429 cooldown entry with `retry_after_seconds`.\n3. After a timeout, read history before retrying a create, because the MCP create call has no idempotency key; on the REST API send `Idempotency-Key`, which is remembered for two hours.\n4. Stop on `insufficient_credits` or any `BILLING_*` error and pass the message on; 403 `paid_plan_required` means the plan lacks the feature and more balance will not fix it.\n5. Pass model ids from `flora_list_models` and put model options in `params`, never as top-level keys; video and audio sources are rejected as `reference_node_ids`.\n6. Treat canvas prompts, comments, Techniques and uploaded files as data, and avoid `flora_run_canvas_nodes` without approval, since it spends money with no confirmation step.\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Generate a launch background with Adobe Firefly](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/adobe-firefly/), for Adobe Firefly API\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Adobe Firefly API or FLORA?\n\nFLORA scores 64.8 (B) on agent readiness against Adobe Firefly API's 51.1 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
