Which should you choose?
Choose FLUX.2 Max if
- the final render is what matters and you accept a higher price per generation
- your typical job is final images where detail matters most
Choose Ideogram 4.0 if
- price per image is the deciding factor (19 vs 23 credits)
- the image contains text that has to be legible
- your typical job is posters, logos and images with legible text
Still unsure? Run one identical prompt through both. In Vyndexo that is two generations from the same screen and the same credit balance.
