DALL·E 3
Fact sourceWhen to pick it When an older project still calls the DALL·E 3 model name, open the official API pricing page first and compare it with the current gpt-image line before deciding whether to migrate; this entry does not use another image model figure as its own price.
When to skip it As of 2026-10-12 the official API pricing page lists its image models under the gpt-image line with no DALL·E 3 and no price for it, so integrations that pin the model name have to be checked against what is on sale before migrating; this is not a review of DALL·E 3. For a hosted image API billed per image or per megapixel, the closer directory record is Flux; to generate images through a chat subscription instead of your own API calls, the closer record is ChatGPT. This is not a ranked review.
Exact price not verified. Any pricing-model label describes a billing category, not a verified amount.
Leonardo AI
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Leonardo AI when a team has to split image allowances from one shared token pool across several members and needs works private by default and unlimited relaxed generation on the models the page names.
When to skip it Free keeps works public and quality at Basic, and the Token Bank and private works start at Essential; the yearly amounts were not rendered this round, so compare yearly by reopening the page yourself. To self-host an open-weights image pipeline, the closer directory records are Flux and Stable Diffusion; to put AI generation inside template-based design files, the closer record is Canva AI. This is not a ranked review.
