Supported Models and Their Use Cases #

• DALL‑E (OpenAI):

    These models are suitable for generating high-quality images, with pricing based on per-image usage.
  • Billing Options:

    • Subscription: Some plans offer lower per-image costs (e.g., $5 for 500 images).
• Stable Diffusion Models:
  • Models: SDXL 1.0, Stable Diffusion 3, Stable Diffusion Ultra
    Obtain your Stable Diffusion API key from Stability AI and choose based on desired image quality and style.
  • Billing Options: Similar to DeepAI, with both prepaid (minimum $5) and subscription plans available.
• Ideogram Models:
  • Models: Ideogram V1, Ideogram V1 Turbo, Ideogram V2, Ideogram V2 Turbo, Ideogram V2a, Ideogram V2a Turbo
    Unique Note: Ideogram requires a minimum deposit of $20 and is ideal for creating highly creative visuals that can effectively incorporate text (e.g., marketing creatives or social media graphics).

Obtaining and Validating API Keys #
