Dawn AI vs Cosplay

Dawn AI 4.7★ · Free + IAP · ⚠ stale 60
Winner Cosplay
Cosplay 4.7★ · Free + IAP 75

Dawn AI offers impressive image quality and fun AI avatar generation, but its high weekly subscription costs and recent feature changes make it less appealing than Cosplay, which has a higher lifetime rating and no negative reviews provided in this set.

Dawn AI generates high-quality AI images and avatars, but users frequently complain about its high weekly subscription fees (up to £9.99) and the removal of general AI art features in favor of avatars. Without reviews for Cosplay, a direct comparison on user experience is limited, but Dawn AI's pricing and feature changes are significant drawbacks.

  1. [R2] Dawn AI 5/5 · GB Amazing bit of software: Love this although can’t justify £5 per week fee. The avatars they create are brilliant.
  2. [R4] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB it was okay..: it was okay until they started to charge per pack… other apps with unlimited use…. and dont take ur subscription that u already paid then ask for more… and also some pics come with defects as well… meanwhile if u want to check agn… pay another niner…
  3. [R6] Dawn AI 3/5 · GB Was great: Enjoyed using this app to create unique and fun pieces of art in various styles. But now the art function has been ditched to go all-in on creating avatars of the user, which is sad and frankly boring. If I want to see various incarnations of myself, I’ll buy some wigs & a mirror! But now, I think this app takes more space than it’s worth. So I hope developers bring back art functionali
  4. [R9] Dawn AI 3/5 · GB Nice app! Impressive image quality: Hi, I’ve tried your app but when I remove my profile it reappears again at every reload of the app. Can you fix that? I hope to see more features in the next updates Thank you
  5. [R29] Dawn AI 5/5 · GB this app is fricking amazing: i downloaded the wrong app at first but bro this app is phenomenal. it’s so convinient and fun to useee. the art is STUNNING
  6. [R46] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB Useless: Wont even let me click past the first page
  7. [R47] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB This APP: This app is awful I downloaded it it’s said it was a free app but when I tried it says I have to pay so I payed AND THEN IT STILL DIDN’T WORK I BASICALLY GOT SCAMMED IM SUING THIS APP Im sorry for sounding rude and disrespectful but really deep inside I’m correct you guys should give me my ***** money back i don’t care I am literally broke because of you guys you don’t understand what I’
  8. [R27] Dawn AI 4/5 · GB The subscription is criminal!: Really superb app, amazing results when it’s working, error 001 “can’t communicate with server” is an annoying bug rendering the app unusable. The weekly subscription cost is a joke for what is a toy, (the images resolution is way to low for professional graphical use) worth having fun with though during the trial. Should be a lifetime purchase option, around £30 wou
  9. [R30] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB it started well...: It started as a cool app, paid for the subscription of 1.99/week for a few weeks. Then update after update it was just getting worse. Random releases, frequent crashes. After adding avatars feature it went downhill - more crashes and outages, and then recently - ai art feature completely disappeared from my app - the only reason why I was a subscriber. With the weekly price inc
  10. [R40] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB I hate you guys: Stupid app won’t give me my 50 avatars
  11. [R3] Dawn AI 3/5 · GB Unknown: I had to pay £10 for this although I literally clicked"free trial " it is quite good but definitely nit for £10 a week and am mad at the fact they charged me when I clicked free trial
  12. [R7] Dawn AI 2/5 · GB App is brilliant: The images it generates are excellent. I would give 5 star if it wasn’t for the absolute greed of the developer. First they charge £9.99 PER WEEK, then only give you 3 generations per day or you have to pay £0.89 each time. And that’s if you’re already paying the £9.99 a week. £40 a month plus 0.89 for each generation after you’ve done your 3… Far too overpriced and there are alt
  13. [R14] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB Scam: I did a free trial but it wrongly charged me £9.99 for a free trial when I am not meant to be charged at all. It took my money, this app is a scam!
  14. [R26] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB App is misleading, definitely not “free”: This app is not free despite saying it is. You have to pay £9.99 per WEEK No free trial anymore. Don’t bother with this app
  15. [R33] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB Is it really free?: “Dawn is free to use”. Is it really? I added 10 photos and then it asked me to subscribe to even view the results. You try to create a tag but it says you get 0 trainings everyday. Waste of time and it shouldn't be a free download. Scam to get people to download it.
  16. [R15] Dawn AI 5/5 · GB Hilarious: I love playing with this app! It creates some great AI images. Makes me giggle a lot!
  17. [R20] Dawn AI 1/5 · GB Was really good until focus on avatars.: It produced some fab images but now they have taken the general AI image generation away. On one update they include it on the next they take it away. Cancelled subscription, not paying for this.
