| Pricing | Not published — vendor pricing page could not be loaded; third-party trackers report $5, $7, $8, $15 and $20/month for the entry paid plan · free tier: Free plan with no credit card and no time limit; generations are public by default. Credit allowance disputed between sources (10 slow credits/week vs 10 prompts/day) — unresolved. | $10/month (Basic), or $96/year ($8/mo) · free tier: None published on the plans page; all four tiers are paid, though rating images earns free GPU time on all tiers |
| Pricing model | Credit-based subscription with self-serve top-ups; API billed separately per image | Subscription |
| Best for | Designers, marketers and social/blog creators whose images must contain correctly spelled text, and developers who want per-image API billing instead of seats. | Solo creatives, illustrators, concept artists and small studios doing high-volume stylised image work who will lean on Relax mode — Standard at $30/month is the value sweet spot, while companies over $1M revenue must budget Pro or Mega. |
| Avoid if | You need a flat predictable per-image cost, must keep evaluation work private without paying, need a generous free tier, or require a confirmed commercial licence before purchase. | You need instruction-exact rendering (product shots, text-in-image, precise briefs), ticketed vendor support and predictable refunds, a free trial, confidential work on a budget, or billing in a currency other than USD. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
