Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
DeepAI
Images, chat, video and music on one prepaid wallet
DeepAI puts image generation, chat, short video and music generation behind a single subscription with a monthly allowance for each, and tops up from a prepaid balance when the allowance runs out. Nothing has to be bought per tool. The allowances reset monthly whether you pay by month or by year. Anybody who needs one model in particular will find a dedicated tool sharper than this one is at any of them.
Our note
Read the video allowance before buying on the strength of the image numbers, because 25 seconds a month is the line most people hit first and it is easy to miss beside 500 images. For image work alone the allowance is large enough that the wallet rarely comes into it.

NightCafe
Many image models, and a community around them
NightCafe puts a long list of image models behind one prompt box and adds daily challenges, badges and a public feed to the outside of it. The free credits refresh every day and most of what a casual user wants is covered by them. Paying buys Fast Credits, which are the ones that do not queue.
