HelloGen

HelloGen's hook is decision removal: you say what you want in plain words, and it picks the right model, writes the prompt, and shows the price before generating. The core generators and editors are permanently free with no watermark and commercial use allowed; a $9.99/month subscription unlocks the full roster — Nano Banana (including a Lite and a Pro up-to-4K variant), Seedream, GPT Image, Veo, Kling, Seedance, Wan — with new models added as they launch. Advanced images run around 5 cents each. The "price shown first" detail is a small thing that builds real trust in a category notorious for surprise credit math. Who it's for: casual creators and marketers who want images and short videos without becoming a model-shopping expert, and anyone burned by watermark-walled free tiers. The aggregator economics are the same as its peers (SparkVid, Zixel), so compare credit prices on your typical volume. If you already know exactly which model you want every time, a dedicated subscription to that model may be cheaper.
