QuQi vs Pomelli: Google’s free creatives or a marketing crew
Pomelli is free, made by Google, and good at on-brand images: it reads your site and turns a product or a prompt into a campaign you can post to Instagram with one button. QuQi is a paid crew on a calendar, posting daily, writing articles and fixing your site. If a few Instagram images a month are all you need, Pomelli may be enough.
- You want campaign images and product shots at no cost.

- You want a quick website and a brand book as well.
- You want posts going out every day without opening an app.
- Your customers read a language other than English.

QuQi vs Pomelli: common questions
Is QuQi cheaper than Pomelli?
No. Pomelli costs nothing today, and QuQi’s writing and posting start on a paid plan. What you pay for at QuQi is a crew that works on a calendar across your channels, your blog and your site’s SEO. The pricing section above shows both.
Is Pomelli really free?
Google says you can currently use it at no charge, with several hundred image and video generations, and that its help page will show any change to the caps. It is a Labs experiment, so that page holds the current terms.
Can Pomelli make videos?
Short ones. Animate turns a campaign creative into a brief 9:16 animation, and Photoshoot images can be saved as MP4 or GIF. QuQi’s Video Producer makes films of 5 to 90 seconds with a voice, a music bed and, for a shop, its products, in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9 or 3:4.
Can Pomelli build a website?
Yes. Since May 2026 it makes a website from your Business Profile that you edit by prompt, preview and publish with a switch, plus a brand book as a PDF or a page. QuQi starts from a website you already have and works on it every week, with audits, page fixes and articles.
Which is better for product photos?
For new studio or lifestyle shots made from one product photo, Pomelli’s Photoshoot. QuQi uses the product photos already on your store, cut out cleanly, inside its pictures, carousels and films.
