Pricing summary
On 13 October 2026, scribblediffusion.com answered with a 301 to a site that is not the sketch tool. This page does not link that destination. The Replicate repository was still public, under the MIT license, and its README still tells you to paste a Replicate API token before the canvas. Generations then run on Replicate, which bills that token. This page does not list Replicate’s per-run prices.

What the project still is

What the public repository describes, not a live demo on the old domain.
  • A sketch plus a prompt

    The README says ControlNet turns a scribble and text into an image, through Replicate.

  • A Next.js app

    The same README says the interface is a Next.js app deployed in the past on Vercel, with the model call on the server.

  • A token gate

    A captured start screen asks for a Replicate API token before “Start scribbling.” That screen is not what the old domain serves now.

Who this note is for

People who searched the old demo name.
  • Designers with the old bookmark

    Need to see why the sketch page is gone.

  • Developers who will self-host

    Already use Replicate and want the MIT app, not a marketing site.

  • Teams that need a render today

    A product sketch should go to a hosted studio, not a repository README.

When Scribble Diffusion is the right pick

Use the repository only if you will run it yourself with a Replicate token. For a sketch you can open in the browser today, use a hosted image tool and read that tool’s plan.
