AI Image Generation Cheaper Than OpenAI

im currently using OpenAI to generate images for social media posts.

I have to use the more pricey dall e 3 model as the others kinda suck…

but i find that credits are being used up quiet fast per month.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows a cheaper way to generate good quality ai images (mixture of landscape and portrait aspect)

Thanks

The best way to save on AI costs is not to use it to spam social media with useless content.

But if you really have to, you can try GPT-image-1 (https://openai.com/api/pricing/) or nano-banana- (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/image-generation?hl=en)
