Plans	From $12/mo	From $9.9/mo
Key features	Text-to-image and reference-based image editing in the browser Two modes: Flare for quick concepts and Sunburst for detail and precise edits 1K, 2K and 4K output at 6, 10 and 16 credits per image Shows the credit cost of each setting before you generate Monthly credit plans from $12	Conversational, natural-language image editing and generation Combined raster and vector workspace in the browser Multiple AI models tuned to different art styles GPT-5 "Thinking Mode" for multi-step edits on paid tiers Unlimited artboards on Pro and Max plans
Pros	Cost per image is shown before generating, not discovered afterwards 4K output is available on every plan Editing a reference photo sits alongside generation from scratch	Conversational editing lowers the skill floor for non-designers Combines raster and vector tools in one workspace rather than separate apps Credit-based tiers scale from casual use up to 6,000 credits/month
Cons	An independent front-end named after OpenAI's model, not an OpenAI product No free tier Anything it adds sits on top of a model you can reach directly elsewhere	No perpetual free plan, the cheapest option starts at $9.90/month Founded in 2025, so it lacks a multi-year track record Credit-based pricing can make heavy iterative editing higher-priced
