Magnific (formerly Freepik) vs Befront

Magnific (formerly Freepik) is a design and creative production platform where teams generate images, video, audio, and 3D assets alongside a 250M+ stock library. You pick from dozens of third-party models (Kling, Veo, Flux, Runway, and others) inside one interface, then edit, upscale, and publish without switching tools. It targets marketers, agencies, and in-house creative teams who need on-brand output at volume.

Most AI art apps lock you into one model vendor. Magnific routes the same brief through Kling 3.0 Turbo, Google Veo 3.1, or Flux 2, compares results, and chains upscaling or relighting in the same session. The platform still sells stock photos, vectors, and mockups, so you can mix licensed assets with generated ones instead of choosing between a marketplace and a generator.

Spaces gives shared canvases for storyboards, campaign variations, and client review, with Business and Enterprise tiers adding pooled credits, SSO, and legal indemnification. Coca-Cola, Ogilvy, and Delivery Hero appear on the customer roster. Freelancers can start on Premium at $7.25 per month with annual billing; studios running parallel jobs gravitate toward Pro's 4 million yearly credits.

Befront is a Figma Community plugin that works as a hands-on design trainer. You install it in Figma, pick a skill to train, and complete short UI tasks on real interfaces with instant feedback as you work. It focuses on practical layout and component work rather than passive theory.

Most design courses lean on video lectures that are easy to watch and hard to retain. Befront runs short drills you can finish in about five minutes, with topic picks like Auto Layout and components instead of a fixed syllabus. That makes it closer to a daily gym routine than a semester-long course.

The homepage positions Befront for designers who feel stuck in Figma, working designers who want more speed, and career switchers learning UX/UI from scratch. Developers, product managers, founders, and marketers who need to work confidently in Figma are also called out in the FAQ.

You track progress over time, compete with other designers, and can try design mini-games for quick interactive practice. A free trial offers access to trial lessons, while paid plans start at $11 per week or $30 per month for full access.
