People keep asking about Mage.Space alternatives, and while Google is a good first source:
I got bored and decided to put together a list while avoiding doing real work.
Things to keep in mind:
I ended up making 'Tiers', with 1 being ones I liked/would use, 2 being very average ones worth looking at while learning, but not worth any time or money investment, and 3 being the rest that I wouldn't bother with.
(If anyone wants to add to or suggest changes so it can be kept up to date, DM and let me know! Happy to share/collaborate/help)
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3

From my quick look at these, my plan is to look at more are RunDiffusion, GetImg.AI and probably Artbreeder. Then Hugging Face for models and anything interesting otherwise.
I got bored and decided to put together a list while avoiding doing real work.
Things to keep in mind:
- When running in the cloud, you are limited by the models they offer (generally Stable Diffusion and a handful of custom models)
- Stable Diffusion 2.0 and 2.1 have NSFW Filters built in so off the shelf, they wont generate nudes. SD 1.5 DOES, and obviously some of the custom models listed in this thread are built specifically for nudes.
- Compute (particularly AI/GPU compute) isn't free, which is why most have limits on what they offer and many don't want to run afoul of the law, and thus credit card companies by allowing the creation of too much NSFW content that could be of minors, used to defame others or who knows what else.
- While some sites allow it, their T&Cs also have some caveats and protections, so I wouldn't rely on them to store images, nor would I use my real email or a credit card if I'm making deepfakes (and if you're creating content that would be illegal if real, then you're an idiot). They are people running it, so will protect themselves first if the law came after them.
- Things change all the time regarding availability and pricing. What I said today could change tomorrow.

Tier 1
| Site | Description | Free Tier | Paid Tier | NSFW | |
| Easy to use with a variety of models to choose from (Personally the one I started on) | Yes | Yes - Subscription | Paid tiers only | ||
| Focused more on the artwork side and for commercial use. Powerful. Run by a business and team. Published on front cover of magazines and produced a children's book. Sign up and use is via Discord | 25 Images | Yes - Subscription | No (Filtered Out) | ||

| 20+ AI models Pricing is based on Image 'credits' | 100 'credits' p/mo | Yes - Subscription | Yes | ||
| Art Based. Looks very interesting. Splice and create various new images. Unlikely good for NSFW, but good for creatives. | unlimited images 3 image uploads 5 high res downloads | Yes - Subscription | Unlikely | ||
| Larger and more powerful/feature rich site. Focused more on art and commercial. Looks like it grew too big to allow NSFW content | 5 free credits each day you login, up to 28 images per day | Yes - Subscription OR Credits | No |
Tier 2
| Site | Description | Free Tier | Paid Tier | NSFW |
| Custom models (2 versions) based off Stable Diffusion 1.5. More Anime/comic than Photo-realistic Also includes custom search engine for images | Up to 100 images per month | Yes - Subscription | Unknown/Not explicitly stated | |

Tier 3
| Site | Description | Free Tier | Paid Tier | NSFW |
| DALL-E mini. One of the big names, but in a limited free offering (thus Tier 3) | Yes | No | No | |
| Basically an online demo of Stable Diffusion. Nothing fancy. | Yes | Not directly here | No | |
| Another Avatar/Head-shot focused application | No | Yes - Package | No | |

| Simple Text to Image generator. Slow on free test I ran but easy to use | Yes | Yes - Credit Based | Unknown (attempted but timed out) | |
| Another very simple site to play around with. No 'models' to chose from so you use their custom one. Nothing to write home about. They do have a 'head-shot' package as well for creating those | Yes | Yes | Yes (Poorly) |
Other
| Site | Description | Free Tier | Paid Tier | NSFW |
| Of course Microsoft have one coming soon | Unknown | Unknown | Highly Doubt it | |
| Site currently down but found it in a recommendation so listing here just in case | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | |
| General site where some general AI Models are hosted. Focused more on learning and sharing the leanings rather than on hosting a creation site | Yes | No | Limited at best | |
| Hosts some models that it shares, such as this [URL='https://huggingface.co/spaces/fffiloni/img-to-music]Img-to-Music Generator[/URL] and some models also have links to paid sites (like the ones listed above) where the model is hosted as well | Free(ish) | Links to other sites | Depends on host |
From my quick look at these, my plan is to look at more are RunDiffusion, GetImg.AI and probably Artbreeder. Then Hugging Face for models and anything interesting otherwise.
