What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is Recraft?
Recraft is becoming a multi-model AI design platform with a new Studio UI, agentic Chat mode, and 1.3-second generation
Recraft shipped a compressed burst of major updates through August and September 2026. The Studio interface was completely redesigned with Create and Chat (agentic) tabs, in-place editing, and batch generation up to 8 images with side-by-side model comparison. V4.1 Flash delivers 1.3-second image generation. Third-party models — ChatGPT Images 2.5 for image generation and Seedance 2.5 for video up to 30 seconds — are now integrated alongside Recraft's own V4.1.

Dorik

A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.
Recraft

Recraft is becoming a multi-model AI design platform with a new Studio UI, agentic Chat mode, and 1.3-second generation
◆ Current state
Recraft shipped a compressed burst of major updates through August and September 2026. The Studio interface was completely redesigned with Create and Chat (agentic) tabs, in-place editing, and batch generation up to 8 images with side-by-side model comparison. V4.1 Flash delivers 1.3-second image generation. Third-party models — ChatGPT Images 2.5 for image generation and Seedance 2.5 for video up to 30 seconds — are now integrated alongside Recraft's own V4.1.
◆ Where it's heading
Recraft is building a multi-model AI design platform: its own fast models for speed-sensitive workflows, third-party integrations for specialized output types (video, ChatGPT-native), and an agentic mode for multi-step design tasks. The Design Agent (which generates full brand identity kits — logo, palette, typography, icons — from a single prompt) is in open testing and signals ambition to own the brand identity workflow, not just image generation.
◆ Prediction
Design Agent progresses from beta to GA, expanding to more brand asset types. The Chat agentic mode gets richer workflow primitives. Additional third-party model integrations are likely given the ChatGPT Images and Seedance additions — video models are the obvious next frontier given Seedance is already there.
