| Pricing | Not published (pricing page rendered plan cards with "/ month" and no numerals in the retrieved source) · free tier: Free plan includes image generation described by the vendor as "limited and slower"; image generation with Thinking is not available | 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. |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per user per month; annual plans for Business and Enterprise) | Credit-based subscription with self-serve top-ups; API billed separately per image |
| Best for | Marketers, founders, consultants and generalists already paying for ChatGPT who want competent image generation as part of one general AI workspace, with heavy image users on Pro. | Designers, marketers and social/blog creators whose images must contain correctly spelled text, and developers who want per-image API billing instead of seats. |
| Avoid if | You need a contractual numeric image quota for budgeting, are judging quality on the Free tier, are buying Go specifically for image work, or require verified independent satisfaction and compliance data before committing. | 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. |

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.
