GPT Image accepts the most input images for editing of all the photo models here — see the “Most images at once” row. Nano Banana accepts fewer, but gives an explicit choice of resolution, more aspect ratios and several variants at different prices. For a complex composition from many sources — GPT Image. For control over the shape and for price steps — Nano Banana.
The price in credits is per run and appears on the “Generate” button before you press it.

Nano Banana has variants for both generation and editing. That means a test on the cheap one and a final on the expensive one, without switching brands and without changing the style.
Resolution choice is a rare advantage of this one among image models. When the image will be printed or cropped, that's the first thing you need to be able to set.
It has more aspect ratios than GPT Image, including widescreen and automatic — for banners and non-standard formats.
GPT Image accepts an exceptionally large number of input images when editing. If you're assembling a scene from a product, a background, a person and props all at once, this is the model where they all fit into a single run.
GPT Image is a single model. There are no variants to weigh up and no decision about which one is worth it — there is one result and one price.
The description field for editing is very large. For a complex composition with many conditions, this means each of them can be spelled out.
Where GPT Image loses. One model, one price — there's no cheap tier for tests, and with a complex composition the tests add up. There's also no explicit choice of resolution, and it has fewer aspect ratios than Nano Banana.
Where Nano Banana loses. It accepts many times fewer input images for editing. A composition that is one run with GPT Image is done here in several steps — and each step is a new run and a new price.
The number of sources decides it. Many images at once — GPT Image. One or two images, but an exact format and resolution — Nano Banana.
If you're not sure how many sources you'll need, start with GPT Image: it's easier to leave a capability unused than to not have it.
Nano Banana. Nano Banana starts at 80 credits per run, GPT Image — at 106 credits per run. The cheapest option for Nano Banana is Nano Banana, for GPT Image — GPT Image 2.5 Flare. The exact price is shown on the button before you start the generation.

It's different for the two and appears in the "Most images at once" row of the image-to-image mode table. The number is read live from the model card.
Both handle a simple edit well. With a strong change to the scene, the risk of the face changing grows for both — in that case you work in steps, one change at a time.
Both do it. If the background comes from your own photo, GPT Image accepts more sources; if the background is described in words, Nano Banana gives better control over the shape.
