There is no shared resolution for a direct price comparison, so each price includes its setting and is not highlighted as cheaper.

## What to compare visually

For a fair A/B test, use the same prompt, aspect ratio and references. Inspect more than overall style: object preservation, geometry, faces and hands, fine detail, text in the frame and unintended changes during editing.

## What to inspect with GPT Image 2.5

Flare for exploring ideas, Sunburst for demanding edits, with a shared image creation workflow.

- Flare and Sunburst; up to 16 input photos; 1, 2 or 4 results.

- 1K, 2K and 4K, with 13 aspect-ratio options including Auto. These are its own controls, not GPT Image 2's restrictions.

- A variant name does not guarantee edit accuracy. Check faces and lettering.

- Do not assume every option in another platform is available here; use the Mixer AI controls.

## What to inspect with Recraft

Posters, illustrations and clean graphics from text, plus restyling of a single photo.

- V4 and V4 Pro: text only; aspect ratios 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9 and 9:16.

- V3 Image: exactly one photo (JPG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB) and a short description of the changes, up to 1000 characters.

- V4 and V4 Pro accept no references: to change a finished photo, choose V3 Image.

- Check lettering inside the image after generating: text may contain mistakes.

## How to run a fair comparison

- Give both models one prompt, one aspect ratio and, for editing tests, the same source photo.

- Look at the small things: hands, small text, product edges and logos fail differently in every model.

- Generate at least three variants per model: one picture shows one seed, not the usual quality.

- Compare cost at the resolution you will actually publish, not at each model's cheapest setting.

## Sources

Prices, availability and specifications come from the Mixer AI catalog. This is not an independent test: try both models on the same task before choosing.

## FAQ

Which is cheaper: GPT Image 2.5 or Recraft?

How does GPT Image 2.5 differ from Recraft?

GPT Image 2.5 — input photos: up to 16.

How should I compare GPT Image 2.5 and Recraft fairly?

Give both models the same prompt, aspect ratio and source photo, generate three variants each and compare details: hands, text, object edges. Compare price at the resolution you will publish.

Are both models available in Mixer AI?

Yes. Both models are in the Mixer AI image catalog; the launch button on the page opens Canvas on a computer and the Studio on a phone. The page exists only for models in the current catalog.

Which model is better?

There is no single winner. First rule out the model that does not accept the inputs you need (references, editing) or the resolution you need, then compare results on your own task. The table highlights only measurable differences.
