Grok vs GPT Image vs Nano Banana
Grok Imagine from xAI, GPT Image from OpenAI and Nano Banana from Google all turn a written prompt into a picture. QynTro runs all three on one account, so here they are side by side: what each one does, what a picture costs today, and real pictures made with each.
Short answer Pick Grok Imagine for five shapes up to 16:9, as PNG files. Pick GPT Image for up to 10 pictures a run and for posters and covers. Pick Nano Banana for Google's most detailed pictures and photo edits up to 4K. Or try one prompt on all three.
