FLORA vs Leonardo.Ai API

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.

Leonardo.Ai API 0

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No per-image price list. Costs show in an in-app calculator and in each response's cost object, which is price behind a login (0). No API free tier documented (0). Browser sign-up (0). Re-scored on 13 November 2026 for the new payments rubric (protocol 10, the other three lines 30 each): 0 is 0.

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.

Leonardo.Ai API 38

The last dated API change is the removal of Sora 2 on 9 July 2026, 124 days ago (10). New model guides such as Nano Banana 2.1 carry only page edit dates, which don't date the addition. For models we look at churn and notice. Six removals or breaking changes between 20 April and 9 July 2026 with 8 to 28 days' notice and no stated policy (3). Public deprecations page and support by Intercom and email (6). Official TypeScript and Python SDKs, TypeScript 4.21.3 on 21 April 2026 and Python 7.0.0 on 5 February 2026 by their repository tags, neither covering v2 (12). The TypeScript SDK publishes from GitHub Actions with an OIDC token (7).

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.

Leonardo.Ai API 40

Bearer API keys created in the web app, revocable, no scopes found (20). No read-only key, spend cap or least-privilege mode found (0). Returns generated images only (10). Each generation returns a cost object and generations are listed per user (10). No security.txt, bug bounty or certification found for Leonardo (0).

FLORA 68

Closed service under terms of service (17 November 2025) that name FLORA AND FAUNA FLOWERSHOP, INC., give the user all rights in output and limit FLORA's licence in user data to running the service; the SDK is Apache-2.0 and the skills MIT (15 of 30). The terms, the data, security and IP page and the MCP security page agree that FLORA does not train on user data or let model providers train on it. The privacy notice (1 June 2026) is silent on training, names only Google Analytics and an unnamed session replay tool, and gives no retention period beyond the life of the account; a DPA is for Enterprise and paid workspaces with client data (18 of 30). The MCP changelog dates deprecations with replacements (a beta endpoint deprecated 28 May and removed 30 June 2026, execute deprecated 11 September and retired 8 October 2026) and a retired-tools page lists five, but there is no written notice period, and flora_comments forwards with no end date (12 of 20). The sub-processors page (2 June 2026) names 23 services with their locations, including India, the UK, China and Singapore, with no commitment to notice of changes (16 of 20). 15+18+12+16 = 61.

Leonardo.Ai API 50

Closed API under Leonardo's terms. Leonardo Interactive Pty Ltd is a Canva subsidiary (15). leonardo.ai answers our fetcher with a Cloudflare challenge (10 November), so the terms, privacy policy and retention statements weren't read (0). Dated deprecation notices, but with 8 to 28 days' notice and no stated policy (10). No subprocessor list or data locations found on the docs host (0).

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.

Leonardo.Ai API 30

No status page. status.leonardo.ai still fails TLS (10 November) and the docs link none (0). No readable incident history (5). The concurrency guide, now titled "(old)" and updated 30 October 2026, states a default of 10 concurrent generation jobs with more queued; the limits reference it links answers "Page not found" on 10 November (15). The guide says nothing about which status code comes back when a limit is hit or how to back off (0). No SLA found (0). The v2 generations endpoint is GA (10).

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.

Leonardo.Ai API 54

Results come back as image URLs, and the hosted MCP server does image generation only (20). Pagination and output filters not checked in this run (5). Limit errors undocumented (8). No idempotency key. Webhook callbacks on the key avoid polling (6). Official TypeScript and Python SDKs (15).
