How to choose an AI image tool
Prompt fidelity is what you are buying, not aesthetics. Any of these models will produce something attractive. Far fewer will produce the specific thing you asked for: the right number of objects, the right spatial relationship, legible text in the image, a character who stays the same across a set.
Text rendering deserves its own test. It has improved enormously and remains the fastest way to separate models, because it is unambiguous — the sign either reads correctly or it does not.
Control matters more than raw quality once you are working rather than playing. Being able to edit a region, keep a character consistent, supply a reference image or lock a style is the difference between a tool you use twice and one that enters a workflow.
Licensing is not a footnote here. Ownership of output, indemnity if a result resembles protected work, and whether your prompts and uploads train the next model all vary sharply between vendors and have changed mid-service more than once. Read that before you standardise a team on anything.
