- A managed cloud product with a vendor SLA
Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
The official repository describes free offline software, not a paid hosted plan. Hardware, electricity, storage and any third-party hosting cost extra. No official subscription amount, tax, currency or cloud-region quote is established; similarly named websites are separate.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
GPL-3.0 licenses the code and imposes conditions on modified/distributed software and source provision. It does not automatically impose GPL on every generated image or license downloaded checkpoints, LoRAs or input images. The README's description of a non-commercial project is not an output-rights grant. Check each model, optional component and third-party right; offline operation does not certify every fork or hosted copy's data practices.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.7 score is retained without its original worksheet. No generation, quality, speed, compatibility or competitor test was performed; no new score was assigned.
Overview
Fooocus is an offline SDXL image interface. Its official repository documents image prompts, styles, variation, upscaling, inpainting and outpainting. The project is in limited long-term support with bug fixes only and has no current plan to adopt newer model architectures.
Consider it for an existing SDXL workflow when you can install and maintain the environment. Use the official repository to identify the project; similarly named hosted websites are not automatically affiliated. This review did not run models or compare output quality, and local execution still requires hardware and review of downloaded models.
