What is the difference between Cutlin and Melon Cut Guidelines?

Short answer

Cutlin makes things: it is an AI studio for images, social posts, stories, videos, vectors and brand identities, paid for with monthly credits. Melon Cut Guidelines keeps things: it stores a brand's logos, colours, fonts and rules and, on a paid plan, publishes them at meloncut.com/yourbrand. It is priced per brand with a Free plan. Together, Cutlin uses your guidelines to stay on-brand.

Two products: one for making content, one for keeping the brand.

Cutlin

Cutlin is the AI studio, at studio.cutlin.com. You write one prompt and it decides what to make - pictures, videos, SVG vectors, captions or a whole brand identity, or several at once in the same chat - and it plans batches of posts and stories. Its Watermark tool puts your logo on your photos.

Its AI needs a paid plan. Plans differ only in their monthly credits: an image uses 5 credits with Fast or 15 with Quality, a video 60 for every started 5 seconds. Watermarking is free for anyone signed in.

Melon Cut Guidelines

Melon Cut Guidelines, at meloncut.com, is the brand's home: logos, colours with HEX, RGB and CMYK values, fonts, asset libraries, usage rules and the brand foundation. Published, it is a page that anyone you share it with can open and download from.

There is no AI inside the Melon Cut Guidelines editor. Creating a brand with AI happens in Cutlin: ask it for a brand.

Using them together

Type a brand's @username in Cutlin and its published guidelines guide the result: its colours, fonts and most relevant assets, with the real logo file placed on finished pictures. A brand made in Cutlin is published to Melon Cut Guidelines, as a new brand or as an update to an existing one.

A brand used in Cutlin is kept in Melon Cut Guidelines: its guidelines page is at meloncut.com/yourbrand, and Cutlin reads it from there.
