• Built around the character-consistency problem, which suits storyboards and recurring-character content better than a general image prompt box
• The free trial includes the character and object library, so you can test consistency before paying
• Purchased credit packs never expire and need no subscription
• The free allowance is a one-time 50 credits with no monthly refresh, and video generation starts on the Pro plan
• 1080p and 4K output, priority support and early access to new models are reserved for the $39.90 Max plan
• Genuinely free in the Gemini app — the default image model on free and paid plans, with no separate subscription needed to start
• Best-in-class photo editing and restoration — the use case that made it go viral; one sentence replaces a Photoshop session
• Real-world knowledge means accurate infographics, diagrams, and recipes — not just pretty pictures
• Excellent text rendering and multilingual localisation — historically the weakest point of image models
• Restores and edits by prediction — it can quietly invent details on faces that were never in the original photo
• Higher-quality Pro/Thinking mode has limited free quotas before reverting to the faster base model
