When to Pick GPT Image 2

The catalog brackets GPT Image 2 at 10 credits per image — 20 models cost less, 8 cost more. ~8s per image is not draft-loop speed; treat GPT Image 2 as a finisher for assets that ship. It is tagged for image editing and multi-quality, which is where it holds an edge over general-purpose models. The right moment for GPT Image 2: image editing is the brief, and OpenAI-grade output is the bar — without a second vendor relationship.

When to Look Elsewhere

Tight budget? Nano Banana lands close on quality at 9 credits, saving you 1 credits per image versus GPT Image 2. When you are cycling through dozens of drafts, FLUX.1 Schnell at ~2s per image keeps the loop tighter than GPT Image 2's ~8s. For maximum fidelity regardless of cost or wait, the flagship tier above GPT Image 2 is the stronger call on complex prompts.
