Our verdict
SwarmUI (formerly StableSwarmUI) offers a simple generate tab for everyday use while letting you drop into a full ComfyUI node graph when you need it. It supports recent image, video and audio models and can auto-install ComfyUI as its backend. It is still labelled beta, Windows 10 may need Git and .NET installed first, and Mac support is Apple silicon only.
