Which one is for you
Pick Dezgo if
- Fits if you would rather top up $10 than take a subscription
- Works for people who want to try several image and video models in one place
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, with rate limits and capped image quality
- Watch out: video and the newest image models need Power Mode, from a $10 top-up
- Watch out: cost per request varies by model, and none of the figures were read
- Not for you if you need clear commercial rights, as each model's own license applies to outputs
Pick OpenArt if
- Fits if you make short story videos or ads with the same characters throughout
- Works for people who want 100+ models on one balance in the browser
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you'll use the work commercially on Starter, which has no commercial rights; that starts at Plus for $27
- Not for you if you want a phone app or a public API, as it runs in the browser only
- Tight if you might want a refund, as finished generations and active periods generally aren't refunded
- Watch out: monthly credits reset each cycle, and extra credits ($15 for 5,000) need Plus or above
- Skip it if you want a free plan: you get a one-off batch of sign-up credits and nothing after
How we grade them
| 2.2GPADezgoFair | 2.4GPAOpenArtFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo subscription: a $10 minimum top-up that never expires, used per request. Prices vary by model and show before each run, so they do not compare with monthly plans. | CStarter is $13 a month on yearly billing ($14 monthly) for 4,000 credits, up to about 4,000 images or 50 videos. That's the middle of this category, but Starter has no commercial use rights, which start at Plus for $27. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free version needs no account but has rate limits and capped image quality. Video and the latest image models need Power Mode. | CFree credits when you sign up, with no card needed. It's a taste rather than a plan, as there's no free tier after that. |
| Features | CText and image to video, text to image, image to image, background removal, upscaling and inpainting. The newest models and video are paid, and no per-request prices were read. | B100+ image, video and audio models on one balance, consistent characters, Director for multi-scene films and ads, motion control, relighting, editing and upscaling. The whole job, with multi-scene stories as its focus. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record. No account is needed to start; type a prompt and generate. | CNo app-store rating on record. With 100+ models, characters, personal models and Director, there's a lot to learn before a multi-scene video comes out right. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only; no desktop or phone app is listed. | BWeb only, with no phone app, but it reaches Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through MCP and a CLI, and After Effects through a plugin. No public API. |
| Best for | pay-as-you-go image and video models | story videos with recurring characters |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
