Dorik repackages itself with a free unlimited-domain plan and renamed paid tiers.
Dorik ships monthly bundles of templates, fixes, and small features. April's release introduces a new pricing structure with an unlimited-domain free tier alongside Dorik Pro and Agency plans, plus a Table element and tooltip support. March was fixes-only, January added countdown polish and link-in-new-tab, and prior months have rolled in custom CMS fields, LLM.txt support, and AI prompt-size growth. The cadence is steady but the content lives on a website-builder polish track.
Krita's AI plugin stays first to support every new open image model, from Flux 2 to Anima.
Krita AI Diffusion is a mature, fast-moving ComfyUI-backed plugin shipping near-monthly. Each release pairs support for the latest open diffusion models with steady refinement of the inpaint/selection pipeline and cross-platform install handling across CUDA, ROCm, and macOS.

The April pricing pivot is the most directional move in this batch: a free plan generous on domains plus renamed paid tiers reads as a re-positioning to compete with the freemium tier of larger no-code builders. The product roadmap continues to fill in CMS, AI authoring, and integrations underneath. Expect more pricing-driven feature gating and continued template-led growth.
The next directional move likely tightens monetization around the new tiers, with capability splits between Pro and Agency on AI authoring credits, team seats, and CMS limits. AI-driven page and section generation should continue expanding given the prior prompt-size investment.
Krita AI Diffusion is a mature, fast-moving ComfyUI-backed plugin shipping near-monthly. Each release pairs support for the latest open diffusion models with steady refinement of the inpaint/selection pipeline and cross-platform install handling across CUDA, ROCm, and macOS.
Across these releases the plugin absorbed Flux 2, Z-Image, Qwen, ERNIE, and Anima, wiring each into Krita's selection, control-layer, and custom-workflow machinery. The direction is clear: be the fastest on-ramp for new diffusion models inside a real painting app, while smoothing the rough edges of local install and editing.
Anima is still in training and preview; expect it to graduate to official support with the full set of control modes, and for the project to keep absorbing new open models as they land. The just-added ROCm path suggests further AMD/hardware-support polish ahead.
