Which one is for you
Pick Magnific if
- Fits if you buy stock and make AI images, and want one bill for both
- Works for agencies that need roles, permissions and credits per seat
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you only want to try AI images free, as no free AI allowance is stated
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $20 against $14.50, and unused credits are lost each month
- Watch out: unlimited covers selected models only, and Nano Banana Pro and some GPT and Flux models move to credits at renewal
- Tight if you run short, since extra credits are sold only on Premium+ and Pro, and the merchandise license is Pro only
- Not for you if the free account is for work, as it's personal use only, with attribution, on 10 downloads a day
Pick Imagine Art if
- Fits if you want image and video models from several labs under one login
- Works for small teams that want brand kits and ad or fashion studios
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a flat price, since credits spent change with each model
- Tight if you stay free, as the free plan runs on daily credits
- Watch out: the prices shown are for yearly billing, and monthly prices weren't read
- Watch out: some plans carry Seedance video discounts that end on a stated date

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.
