ImagineArt and Imaginode look alike in principle: a multi-model catalogue, one currency for image, video and voice, and workflows. So this comparison is more useful line by line than in slogans.
ImagineArt starts at $9 a month for 3,000 credits, with Standard at $30, Ultimate at $50 and Creator at $250. The free plan hands out 100 credits refreshed every 24 hours. Plan credits expire at the end of each month.
Imaginode starts at $17 excl. tax for 900 credits, or $7 as a top-up with no subscription, and purchased credits never expire. The exact price of each generation is shown before the click and failures are refunded.

Frequently asked questions
Do both offer the same models?
The catalogues overlap heavily on public models, Flux and Seedream for example. Differences are about which versions are exposed and which settings are available.
Which is cheaper?
On steady monthly use the lists are close. On irregular use the absence of expiry changes everything: an unspent Imaginode credit stays usable.
Does ImagineArt do music?
Yes, music generation is part of its catalogue. Imaginode does not offer it.
