When to Pick GPT Image 1.5
The catalog brackets GPT Image 1.5 at 10 credits per image — 21 models cost less, 7 cost more. At ~8s per image it rewards patience — best used when the output is a final asset rather than a draft. Its catalog tags read image editing and style switch — the areas where it outperforms general-purpose picks. Choose GPT Image 1.5 when image editing is the priority for your project and you want OpenAI quality without managing another vendor account.
When to Look Elsewhere
Tight budget? Nano Banana lands close on quality at 9 credits, saving you 1 credits per image versus GPT Image 1.5. Draft-heavy sessions favor FLUX.1 Schnell: ~2s per image versus GPT Image 1.5's ~8s adds up over dozens of generations. And if the task demands maximum fidelity rather than speed or price, the flagship tier above GPT Image 1.5 renders finer detail on complex prompts.
