Our review

ComfyUI is a node-based, open-source image/video generation workflow tool — highly controllable with a rich plugin ecosystem and video support — a power-user's kit for building custom generation pipelines.

The learning curve is steep, it needs a GPU, and it's technical; but if you want pixel-level control over the process and reusable complex workflows, ComfyUI's freedom is unmatched.
