Describe it, get the image

Twenty five AI image models on one balance, from 1 credit a frame. Midjourney, Imagen 4, GPT Image 2, Flux and Ideogram without five separate subscriptions. No watermark, and you own what you make.

Generate an image

Every image model, and what it costs

You pay per image you generate rather than per seat or per month, and every model on this list bills a flat price per frame. Runs that fail are refunded. The usual way to work is to find the idea on a 1 or 2 credit model and spend the 25 credit one only on the frame you are keeping.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Describe the image

    Say the subject, the setting and the look. Being specific about the last one is what separates a usable frame from a generic one.

  2. Step 2

    Find it cheap, finish it dear

    Run the idea a few times at 1 or 2 credits until the wording is right, then spend on a stronger model once.

  3. Step 3

    Download or animate it

    No watermark on any plan. If the image should move, it goes straight into image to video from the same balance.

Which image model to use

  • Testing an idea. Image 01 at 1 credit. You can try a prompt twenty five times for the price of one top tier frame.
  • Words inside the picture. Ideogram V4 for posters and logos. Most models turn lettering into shapes that only look like writing.
  • The Midjourney look. Midjourney at 10 credits, on the same balance as everything else and with no second subscription.
  • The frame you are keeping. Gemini 3 Pro Image or Imagen 4 Ultra.
  • Working from a reference. Runway Gen-4 Image takes up to three reference images, which is how you keep a character consistent across frames.

Twenty five models on one balance

The reason to run these in one place is that no single model wins every prompt. Typography, photorealism, speed and cost pull in different directions, and the only reliable way to tell is to put the same words through two or three of them. That is awkward when each one is a separate subscription and a separate bill; here it is a dropdown and one credit meter.

  • One API key and one balance across all twenty five.
  • Flat price per image, quoted before the run, and failed runs refunded.
  • No watermark on any plan, including the free one.
  • You own what you generate under the terms, though output is not exclusive.

Make the image move

An image is usually a step rather than the destination. Once you have a frame you like, image to video animates it from 3 credits a second, and if it is a face that should be speaking, a talking photo lip syncs it to any audio. Both run on the same credits as the image itself.

Put a prompt through all of them

Twenty five image models, from 1 credit a frame, no watermark, and failed runs refunded.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

It is a model that draws a picture from a written description. You type what you want to see, the model returns an image, and you can change the wording and run it again. Different models have different strengths: some render text inside the image well, some are faster, some are better at photorealism.

From 1 credit an image on Percify, which is about 2 to 3 cents. Most of the well known models sit between 2 and 10 credits, and the top tier ones, Gemini 3 Pro Image, Nano Banana Pro and Recraft V4.1 Pro, are 25 credits, roughly 41 to 63 cents. Credits work out at about 2 cents each depending on the plan, and runs that fail are refunded.

It depends on the job. Ideogram V4 is the one to use when the image contains words, because typography is what it is built for. Imagen 4 Ultra and Gemini 3 Pro Image are the highest fidelity. Midjourney has a look people recognise. Image 01 at 1 credit is for testing an idea cheaply before spending on a final frame. Percify runs all twenty five on one balance, so you can put the same prompt through several and compare. It is our product, so weigh that against whatever else you are considering.

Percify has a free plan with no watermark, and you start with free credits. Generating an image itself costs credits on every plan, because every run costs us provider time. The honest version is that you can start without paying a card and see real output before deciding.

No. Midjourney runs here on the same credit balance as the other twenty four models, at 10 credits an image, so you do not need a second account or a second bill to try it.

Yes. Percify terms say you own the AI generated content you create, subject to those terms. Output is not exclusive, and there is no watermark on any plan including the free one.

Ideogram V4 or Ideogram V3 Quality. Typography is the thing they are built for, and GPT Image 2 and the GPT Image 2.5 tiers also render lettering cleanly. Most other models will approximate words into shapes that look like writing but are not.

Yes, and it is the usual next step. Once you have an image you like, image to video animates it from 3 credits a second, and if the picture is a face you want speaking, that is a talking photo instead.

It varies by model. The GPT Image 2.5 tiers go up to 4K, Imagen 4 Ultra and Recraft V4.1 Pro are the other high resolution options, and the cheaper fast models return smaller frames. The playground shows the exact cost before you run anything.

Yes. All twenty five models run through the same API with one key and one credit balance, so switching model is a parameter rather than a new integration. Details are on the API pricing page and in the docs.
