 "task": "AI video & voice content",
 "summary": "AI image and video generator that puts a dozen third-party models behind one credit balance and one workspace: Nano Banana (three variants) and GPT Image 2 for stills, Seedance, Kling, Veo 3 and Wan 2.5 for video, plus face swap, background removal, upscaling, style transfer, lip-sync, motion sync, character creation and voice tools. A prompt gallery carries thousands of community prompts with the image each produced, reusable as prompt or reference.",
 "best_for": "people who want several image and video models behind one balance and one interface — switching between Nano Banana, GPT Image 2, Seedance, Kling, Veo and Wan without holding four subscriptions — and who generate enough to justify an annual plan, which takes 17% to 30% off every tier",
 "skip_if": "you only ever use one model, because going to that provider directly removes the middleman and the credit conversion; or you need the strongest video model regularly, since Veo 3.1 Quality at about 115 credits a clip turns the $119 Max plan into 46 clips a month",
 "honest_knock": "The credit is not a picture, and that is the thing to understand before buying. Starter's 360 monthly credits are 360 images on GPT Image 2.5 Flare at 1 credit each, 180 on Nano Banana at 2, 120 on GPT Image 2 at 3 or 45 on Nano Banana Pro at 8 — and on video, 90 clips on Seedance Pro at 4 credits, 18 on Seedance 2.0 at 20, 7 on Veo 3.1 Fast and 3 on Veo 3.1 Quality. The headline counts ('Up to 360 images', 'Up to 90 videos') are the cheapest model in each column; they reconcile with the vendor's own table, but they are still the cheapest models.\n\nThe Yearly toggle advertises 30% OFF. Every yearly plan carries exactly twelve months of credits, so the saving is the price cut alone: 16.7% on Starter, 17.2% to 21.5% on Pro and 25.2% to 30.1% on Max, which means only the 14,400-credit Max reaches the badge. The Pay Once packs are dearer per credit than any subscription and, despite the 'pay once' framing, expire after 360 days and cannot be refunded.\n\nOne naming quirk: Seedance Pro costs 4 credits while Seedance 2.0 costs 20 and Seedance 2.0 Fast 15, so the model called Pro is the cheapest of the three, not the dearest.\n\nAnd know what you are buying: an aggregator, not a model. You pay for one workspace, one balance and one prompt gallery across other companies' models, so the question is whether that convenience beats going to those providers directly at your volume.",

  "notes": "(read 3 October 2026 in a live browser on photogenerator.ai/pricing, with every billing mode and every credit option clicked) Credit-based, in US dollars, with no free tier among the published plans — the site offers some free credits to try the generator, but every plan is paid. Starter has one size: $12 a month for 360 credits, or $120 a year ($10 a month) for 4,320. Pro and Max each carry a three-step credit selector. Pro monthly is $29 for 1,100 credits, $49 for 2,000 or $79 for 3,300; yearly it is $288, $468 or $744 for 13,200, 24,000 or 39,600 credits. Max monthly is $119 for 5,300, $199 for 9,200 or $299 for 14,400; yearly $1,068, $1,716 or $2,508 for 63,600, 110,400 or 172,800. The yearly plans carry exactly twelve months of credits, so the saving is in the price alone: 17% on Starter, 17% to 22% on Pro and 25% to 30% on Max, under a toggle badged 30% OFF. Pay Once packs need no subscription: 2,750 credits for $99, 5,600 for $199, 8,500 for $299 and 19,900 for $499, valid for 360 days (the Pro Pack card says 369) and non-refundable. Credits draw on one pool of image models (GPT Image 2 and 2.5, Nano Banana, Flux 2, Seedream, Midjourney, Recraft and others) and video models (Seedance, Kling, Veo 3.1, Wan, Minimax, Hailuo and others), and the page's per-model table is where the real prices are. Correction to our 16 September reading, which reported Pro at $49 on the card and $29 in the table for the same 1,100 credits: the card has a credit selector, $29 buys 1,100 credits and $49 buys 2,000, and the Pay Once credits expire after 360 days.",

  "name": "Nextify.ai, Modelize",
  "why": "All three sell generated visuals by the credit, and the useful split is how honest the credit is. We also carry Nextify.ai, which shares this one's affiliate template and its 30% rate, and its dossier (read 7 September 2026) has Starter $29, Pro $79 and Business $189 monthly for 1,000, 3,000 and 8,000 credits — nominally cheaper per credit on Pro annual at $0.017. But Nextify's plans are sold in videos and images at 20 and 2 credits apiece while its meter actually runs per second of output, so its Pro tier is nearer 62 clips than the advertised 150. PhotoGenerator's headline counts, by contrast, match its own published table exactly. It is the less flattering of the two arithmetics and the more reliable one.\n\nModelize is the narrow alternative: a Shopify app for on-model and studio product photos at $19, $49 and $99 a month for 100, 250 and 500 images (read 19 August 2026), with a free plan of 3 images once. Per image that is $0.19 at Starter against about $0.067 here on Nano Banana — far more expensive, for a tool that does one job inside your store and does not ask you to think in credits. If product photography is the whole task, that trade is worth making; if you want video and images and several models, it is not."
