Best cheap AI image model right now?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to figure out what AI image generation models are actually worth using right now mainly looking for something that’s both good quality and relatively cheap.

I’ve been hearing a lot about FLUX (especially FLUX Schnell / Dev), and that it’s pretty strong in terms of quality vs cost.

From what I understand, it’s one of the newer open-weight models and competes pretty well with things like Midjourney and DALL·E in terms of realism and prompt accuracy.

Curious what people here think:

- Is FLUX actually the best option right now for cost vs quality?

- Are there better alternatives you’d recommend?

- What are you personally using for image generation these days?

Would love to hear real experiences before I commit to something.
