Model comparisons

We run every editing and generation model we host through the same prompts and post the results. These pages are what we wish existed when we were trying to pick models ourselves — no marketing, no benchmark scores you can't replicate, just side-by-side outputs and an honest verdict.

Nano Banana vs Flux Kontext Pro

Both edit images from a prompt, both cost 2 credits per run, and both have loud fan bases. After running the same prompts through each, the split is cleaner than you'd think: Nano Banana wins when you're compositing multiple reference images or doing creative remixes. Flux Kontext Pro wins when you can't afford the subject to drift — portraits you'll iterate on, product photos with branding, anything where identity preservation is the whole point.

Flux Kontext Pro example Flux Kontext Max example

Flux Kontext Pro vs Flux Kontext Max

Kontext Pro costs 2 credits per edit. Max costs 3. People assume Max is just 'better' across the board — it isn't. Max earns its premium in two specific cases: edits that touch readable text (logos, signage, packaging) and prompts that ask the model to do three or more things at once. For everything else, Pro produces results most people genuinely can't tell apart.

Nano Banana vs Nano Banana Pro

Nano Banana is 2 credits. Nano Banana Pro is 4 — double. The Pro version is genuinely sharper on detail-heavy edits and noticeably better at scenes with many objects, but you're paying twice as much for an upgrade most casual edits won't show. For one-off social posts, the standard model is fine. For client deliverables or anything you'll print or zoom into, Pro starts paying for itself.

ChatGPT Image 2 example Nano Banana Pro example

ChatGPT Image 2 vs Nano Banana Pro

These are the two flagship instruction-based editors from OpenAI and Google respectively. Both excellent, both premium-priced, and both wired into very different prompt-following philosophies. GPT Image 2 follows instructions to the letter, even when the literal interpretation looks awkward; Nano Banana Pro takes more creative liberty but produces visually more polished output. Pick GPT Image 2 when the prompt is the source of truth. Pick Nano Banana Pro when 'looks good' wins.

Flux Kontext Pro example ChatGPT Image 1.5 example

Flux Kontext Pro vs ChatGPT Image 1.5

Both 2 credits per edit. Both instruction-based. Both came out of teams that obsess over prompt adherence. The split between them comes down to how they handle ambiguity — Kontext Pro tries to preserve as much of the source as possible, GPT Image 1.5 tries to satisfy as much of the prompt as possible. Pick Kontext Pro for iterative work on a single image. Pick GPT Image 1.5 when the prompt is the priority and the source is more of a starting hint.
