Choose GPT Image 2 when…

  • You want a quality dial: low-quality drafts start at 1 credit, and you only pay high-tier prices for finals.
  • Prompt adherence, complex layouts, and typography are the priority (its stated strengths).

Choose Nano Banana 2 when…

  • You need output beyond two sizes — Nano Banana 2 offers 15 aspect ratios including 4:1 and 8:1 banners, up to 4K.
  • You edit with multiple reference images; GPT Image 2 accepts one.
  • You want predictable per-resolution pricing: every 1K image is 8 credits, full stop.

The verdict

GPT Image 2 is the draft-cheap, typography-strong option when square or 4:3 output is fine. Nano Banana 2 wins whenever format range, resolution, or multi-reference editing matters.

Or don't choose: run the same prompt through both and keep the better result — at these prices the experiment costs pennies.
