Value · Image editing
Which model is worth its cost?
Each dot is a ranked model: higher is better, further left is cheaper or faster. The line joins the models nothing cheaper or faster beats.
- How to read it. Up is a higher rating, left is faster. A dot under the line has a faster model that rates as high or higher. Whiskers are the rating’s 95% interval.
- Basis. The median time from submit to result over our benchmark runs on this board, at the fast lane our runs used.
Best value by speed: Imagera Queen Edit (11 s, rating 616), Grok Imagine Edit (13 s, rating 1,078), ChatGPT 2.5 Flare Edit (16 s, rating 1,100), Nano Banana 2.1 Edit (18 s, rating 1,142), Seedream 5 Flash Edit (18 s, rating 1,164), Muse Image Edit (21 s, rating 1,189) and Precise Edit (36 s, rating 1,277). Nothing faster rates higher than these.

Method
How the ranking works.
Same prompts, real runs
Every model renders the same 44 prompts through Imagera itself, at the settings its card opens with. Clips are asked for at 5 seconds. Nothing is retouched or picked: a run that fails counts in the model's failed-runs figure.
Who competes
Image: every general text-to-image model on Imagera released in the last 15 months. Image editing: every image editing model released in the same window, each given the same input photo and instruction. Video: the 10 text-to-video models people run most on Imagera. Style presets and vector-only variants are left out. New models join at the next benchmark run.
Blind pairs
You see two outputs of one prompt with no names, re-framed to one size. A vote counts once per pair per visitor, only on a pair we served you, after the pair has been on screen for a moment, and up to 100 votes a day.
