getimg.ai shares one good habit with Imaginode, rare on this market: the cost of an action is printed right above the button. You know what you are spending before you spend it.
The pricing then diverges. getimg.ai gives 100 credits a month free, then Basic at $12 for 3,000 credits, Starter for 12,000, Hobby at $49 for 24,000 credits and 40 videos. Credits do not roll over from month to month, promotional ones included.
At Imaginode purchased credits never expire and one-off top-ups exist: 300 credits for $7, no subscription. The 100+ models cover image, video, text and voice in the same node canvas.

Is Imaginode a good alternative to getimg.ai?
