The honest brief

FLUX

From the team that created Stable Diffusion — ships open weights alongside a hosted pro tier for its strongest models.

  • Open weights for many variants
  • Strong prompt adherence and detail
  • Wide ecosystem support
  • API + playground available
  • Top 'pro' models are hosted-only
  • Open weights need GPU to self-run
  • Less turnkey than Midjourney

Ideogram

Best-in-class text-in-image rendering (~90% accuracy vs ~30-40% for Midjourney) — the pick when letters must be legible.

  • Typography and layout controls
  • Strong for logos, posters, social cards
  • Free tier to try
  • Closed source, hosted only
  • Less photoreal than FLUX
  • Less cinematic than Midjourney
