Consistent characters across images and video
OpenArt is built around the thing that makes most image generators useless for a series: the same character has to come back looking the same in the next shot. It holds a character or a style across generations, and its story mode lays the results out in sequence. Behind that sit a hundred image, video and audio models on one credit balance.
Our note
Commercial rights starting at Plus rather than Starter is the catch here, and it is the difference between a $14 plan and a $34 one for anybody selling what they make. Check that line before comparing the entry price against getimg.ai, which grants those rights at the bottom of its range.

Image and vector generation with style control
Recraft generates raster and vector art, and the reason to pick it over a general image model is that a style can be defined once and reused, so a set of icons or covers comes out looking related. Output on the free plan is public and owned by Recraft. Paid plans move generations to private and hand over commercial rights.
Our note
The free plan is a demo rather than a tier, because you do not own what comes out of it. Budget for Basic from the start if the images are going anywhere public.
