Flux
Fact sourceWhen to pick it Choose Flux when billing per generation matters more than a subscription or seat fee, and you need open weights to run FLUX on your own infrastructure; the official page keeps pay as you go and Open Weights Licensing separate.
When to skip it Enterprise volume and SLAs are listed as Contact Sales with no public amount, and open weights are licensed per variant, so check the repository licence before commercial use. To run open weights locally where a Community License revenue threshold decides free commercial use, the closer directory record is Stable Diffusion; for hosted conversational image generation you do not maintain yourself, the closer record is ChatGPT. This is not a ranked review.
