Seedream 5.0 vs GPT Image 2 — which should you choose?
Seedream 5.0 Pro is strong at photorealism and at cartoon and art styles, and it edits from a large number of references (up to 10), so pick it for realistic scenes, stylisation and reference-driven edits. GPT Image 2 follows a prompt more precisely and renders legible text inside an image, so pick it for posters and infographics. Both models are available in the IIshki studio at club prices, with Seedream slightly cheaper per generation.
