The honest brief

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

Recraft

The only major generator that outputs natively editable SVG paths — assets drop straight into Illustrator or Figma.

  • Native editable SVG vector output
  • Brand style sets for consistency
  • Built-in vector node editor
  • API access for pipelines
  • Text rendering trails Ideogram
  • Designer-focused, steeper than casual tools
  • Free tier credits limited
