FLUX.1 Schnell
Takes a text prompt

The exact price for the options you pick is shown in the app before every confirmation, and that is exactly what is charged.
Good to know
What it is best for
Use it as a sketchpad. Fire off eight versions of the same idea, see which composition survives, then take the winner to a model that can finish it. It does not accept a photo and has no settings to fiddle with, which is the point: nothing stands between you and the next attempt. Pruna P-Image sits at the same weight with a different look, so run both on one prompt and keep whichever draws your kind of thing.
Keep prompts short and visual: the subject, one style word, one lighting word. Then run it again with a single word changed so you can see what that word actually did. Long paragraphs get compressed here, and it cannot see a photo, so do not describe an edit. Take the frame you like to Nano Banana 2 or FLUX.2 to finish it properly.
Process
Three steps to a finished image
- Open the bot@StarGenAI_Bot, and the Mini App from there. Nothing to download.
- Describe a shot or send a photoYour own prompt, or a ready preset in one tap. A photo gets reworked rather than redrawn.
- Take the image back to the chatIt lands in the same chat you started from, and it turns into a sticker pack.

Other models for images
Nano Banana 2
Google's flagship image model. It draws from a description and reworks whatever you send it, and text inside the frame comes out readable, which most models still cannot manage.
from 9 Stars
GPT Image 2
OpenAI's image model reads a long prompt closely and keeps things where you asked for them. Good when the frame needs legible text or a scene built exactly to description.
from 2 Stars
Nano Banana Pro
The bigger Nano Banana: 2K output, clean text inside the frame, and edits that keep the detail. It works from a photo or from a prompt alone.
from 20 Stars
Seedream 5 Pro
ByteDance's photo editing: it swaps clothes, backgrounds and style without redrawing the person. It will not start without a photo, text alone is not enough.
from 10 Stars
Pruna P-Image
The fastest image here and one of the cheapest. Take it when you want to run through a dozen ideas rather than polish one.
from 2 Stars
Nano Banana 2 Lite
Google's editor: attach a photo, say what to change in plain words, and the face and the light survive it. Leave the photo out and it just generates from the prompt.
from 5 Stars
Seedream 5 Lite
The junior Seedream: the same grasp of a complicated scene as the Pro, at a fraction of the price. Strong on keeping a frame internally consistent.
from 5 Stars
Grok Imagine Image
xAI's image model in three quality rungs. The bottom one costs almost nothing; the top one reaches for the flagships.
