RelayThatThe RelayThat alternative that designs from scratch.
RelayThat's whole idea is layouts you can't break: fill the slots, and the brand stays intact. Krumzi keeps the brand-safety and drops the straitjacket: the AI designs a fresh layout for every brief, applies your brand automatically, and leaves every element editable.

Brand-safe, two very different ways.

If you're here, one of these probably sounds familiar.
RelayThat is liked for what it locked down: 4.5 on Capterra. But the lock is also the complaint, and the product has barely moved in years. Here's what users actually report.
The layouts are locked, really locked
The most repeated complaint across its reviews: you can't relocate text, add text or photo blocks, adjust spacing, or remove template elements. When the company cited element rotation as a notable recent feature, it said everything about the editor's ceiling.
Frozen since about 2020
An AppSumo thread titled around a 100% consensus of abandonment, reviewers noting the same template set for years, no blog, no public changelog, and reviews drying up. The company says it isn't abandoned; the visible pace speaks for itself.
Everything comes out looking the same
Fixed layouts produce fixed-looking output. Reviewers note the templates make all designs look similar, with a dated aesthetic the library hasn't outgrown.
No generative AI, then or now
The Headline Generator is a keyword-variation tool, not an AI. There's no text-to-design, no AI imagery, nothing that has arrived in design tools since 2020.
Lifetime-deal fine print
LTD buyers report core features, notably downloading all sizes at once, the product's headline trick, locked behind paid upgrade tiers, plus scattered reports of slow support and lost workspace designs.
Static graphics only
No video, no animation, no carousels. The formats social feeds increasingly run on aren't on the menu.
To be fair: enforced brand consistency is a real feature, and RelayThat's one-click resize across dozens of ad sizes with zero tweaking is still genuinely hands-off. At $15 a month with unlimited downloads and 3M stock images, it's honest value for pure brand-enforcement resizing. This page is for the people who've hit the walls of layouts they can't touch.
Why people pick Krumzi over RelayThat
Brand-safe without the straitjacket.
RelayThat keeps you on brand by taking the design decisions away permanently. Krumzi makes them for you, fresh each time: layout, palette, type, and composition designed for the brief, with your brand applied automatically. Consistency from intelligence, not from locks.
You describe it. Krumzi designs it.
Slot-filling is fast; describing is faster and gets you a design that fits the message instead of the other way around. Type one sentence and a finished, on-brand design comes back in under 60 seconds. Then move the headline, because you can.
Formats for the feed you actually run.
Krumzi designs images in 44 platform sizes, carousels on one connected canvas, and video with a timeline, captions in 10 languages, and 4K export, and it ships new capability monthly. Your design tool shouldn't be frozen in 2020.
Which one should you actually use?
Here's the honest split, including where RelayThat's lock-down is genuinely the right call.
Switch to Krumzi if you...
- You keep fighting layouts you're not allowed to change
- Your feed looks the same as it did in 2021
- You need video, carousels, or anything beyond static graphics
- You want AI that designs, not a headline shuffler
- The tool's frozen roadmap makes you nervous
- Fresh-but-on-brand beats locked-and-identical for you
Stay with RelayThat if you...
- Nobody-can-break-the-brand is your literal requirement
- You resize one design into thirty ad sizes daily, hands-off
- Franchise or junior-team brand enforcement is the job
- You actively don't want to make any design choices
- $15 flat with unlimited downloads wins your budget
What each one costs.
RelayThat is cheaper and flat. You're paying it for locked layouts and resizing. Krumzi charges for fresh design work. Here's the math.

Switching from RelayThat, answered.
RelayThat keeps designs on brand by locking the layout: you fill slots in fixed SmartLayouts you can't rearrange. Krumzi keeps designs on brand by designing with your brand: the AI builds a fresh layout for every brief with your colors, fonts, and logo applied, and everything stays editable.
Yes, differently. Brand Kit auto-applies your identity to every design, and Brand Mind steers style, tone, and look on every generation. You get consistency from the AI's decisions rather than from an uneditable template, and you can still tighten brand strictness in settings.
Not with one click across thirty sizes. Krumzi designs to each canvas: ask for the post, story, and banner versions and each gets designed for its format, in any of 44 presets or custom dimensions. RelayThat's zero-tweak bulk resize is genuinely more hands-off if that's your whole workflow.
No. As of August 2026 its automation is layout-filling plus a keyword-based headline generator. There's no text-to-design or AI imagery. Designing from a brief is Krumzi's entire product.
Yes, everything, which is exactly the point. Move the headline, add a text block, restyle any element. Brand-safe doesn't have to mean touch-nothing.
Yes, a full video editor with a timeline, scenes, animations, and auto-generated captions in 10 languages, exporting up to 4K. RelayThat is static graphics only.
There's no permanent free plan. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with full access: card upfront, no charge until day 8, cancel in one click. Paid plans start at $19 a month.
