Is the AI Image Generator Really Free?
Yes! The Pollinations-powered models (Flux, Turbo, Flux Realism, Flux Anime) are 100% free with no credit deduction, generate as many images as you want. Premium models (Gemini Flash Image, GPT Image) cost a small number of credits per image, shown clearly next to each model before you generate, so there are never surprise charges.
Which AI image models can you use, and what do they cost?
Hoodgen runs two families of image model side by side. The Pollinations models are free and unmetered, which is what makes unlimited generation possible. The premium models are priced per image in credits, because they are priced per image upstream, and the price is shown next to the model in the picker before you press generate.
| Model | Credits per image | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Pollinations Flux | 0 (free) | The all-round default. Reliable scenes, objects and photoreal drafts. |
| Pollinations Turbo | 0 (free) | The fastest free option when you only need a quick look. |
| Flux Realism | 0 (free) | Photoreal portraits and product shots on the free tier. |
| Flux Anime | 0 (free) | Anime and illustration styles without spending credits. |
| Ming Image 0.1 Design | 0 (free) | Design layouts, posters and graphic compositions. |
| Muse Image | 10 | The cheapest paid step up from free, for balanced general images. |
| Riverflow V2.5 Fast | 12 | Fast photoreal passes when you are iterating. |
| Krea 2 Medium Turbo / FLUX.2 Klein | 15 | Cheap, sharp and textured. The best value in the paid tier. |
| MAI-Image-2.6 Flash | 20 | Realistic interiors and product context at low cost. |
| Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image | 25 | Quick Gemini renders for social and blog sizes. |
| Qwen Image 3 / Seedream 5.0 Pro / FLUX.2 Pro / GPT Image Mini | 30 | The sweet spot: strong prompt following with readable short text. |
| Recraft V4.1 / Krea 2 Medium / Seedream 5.0 Lite | 35 | Recraft for design and vector-leaning output, the others for detail. |
| Gemini 2.5 Flash Image / MAI-Image-2.6 / GPT Image 2.5 | 40 | Better realism and instruction following, still mid-priced. |
| Gemini 3.1 Flash Image / Qwen Image 3 Pro | 50 | Dense layouts, long text, multi-element scenes. |
| Grok Imagine 2.0 / FLUX.2 Flex | 60 | Bolder editorial look and higher fidelity FLUX. |
| Krea 2 Large / FLUX.2 Max | 65 to 70 | Artistic texture and maximum FLUX detail for hero images. |
| GPT Image 2 | 100 | Correct text inside the image, the strongest of the GPT image line at this price. |
| Gemini 3 Pro Image / GPT Image 1 / GPT 5 Image / GPT-5.4 Image 2 | 120 to 130 | The top tier: photoreal detail, complex instructions, client-facing work. |
A practical habit: draft on Pollinations Flux until the composition is right, because it is free. Then re-run the winning prompt on a 30 to 50 credit model for the version you publish. Most people spend less that way than by iterating on an expensive model.
Aspect ratios, sizes and batch mode
| Format | Ratio | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Square | 1:1 | Instagram and Facebook feed, profile images, album art |
| Portrait | 9:16 | Reels, Shorts, stories, phone wallpapers |
| Landscape | 16:9 | YouTube thumbnails, blog headers, slide covers |
| Story | 4:5 | The taller Instagram feed format that takes more screen |
| Banner | 3:1 | Site headers, email banners, wide promo strips |
Resolutions run from 256 × 256 for quick previews up to 1024 × 1024 for detail, and you can request 1, 2, 3 or 4 images in one run. Each image in a batch gets a different seed, so a batch of four is four interpretations of the prompt, not four copies.
Hoodgen pricing, plainly
The free models on this page cost nothing and never touch a credit balance. The plans below exist for the premium models and the rest of the platform.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | ₹0 | 100 credits / month | Try every tool before paying anything |
| Creator Monthly | ₹199 / month | 600 credits / month | Light daily use across the tools |
| Pro Monthly (most popular) | ₹499 / month | 3,750 credits / month | Daily work, higher limits, premium models |
| Creator Yearly | ₹999 / year | 7,200 credits / year | One month free against paying monthly |
| Ultra Monthly | ₹1,399 / month | 10,000 credits / month | Heavy daily use across images, video and voice |
| Pro Yearly | ₹5,500 / year | 45,000 credits / year | Cheapest per credit, one month free |
| Ultra Yearly | ₹13,999 / year | 120,000 credits / year | Two months free against paying monthly |
A mid-tier image now costs around 30 to 45 credits and the top tier around 124, so Pro Monthly (3,750 credits) is roughly 85 mid-tier images a month, or 30 on the most expensive model. Drafting on free models is what keeps that number healthy. Live prices are on the pricing page.
How Hoodgen compares to other AI image generators

| Feature | Hoodgen | Free community sites | Subscription studios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free models | Five, unlimited, zero credits | One or two | A trial allowance |
| Model choice | 30+ image models, priced openly | One | Several, credits decide |
| Aspect ratios | Five, including 3:1 banner | Two or three | Wide range |
| Batch | Up to 4 per run | One | Up to 4 |
| History | Saved to your account | None | Yes |
| Price | Free, then ₹199 to ₹5,500 | Free but queued | USD per seat |
The honest limits of this tool
A page that claims a free tool has no limits is not telling you the whole story. These are the real ones.
- Free models have a queue. Pollinations renders can slow down under load. The paid models are faster because you are paying for capacity.
- Text inside images is unreliable below the premium tier. Short words are usually fine, sentences are not.
- No inpainting here. Precise edits of one region belong in the image to image tool.
- Prompt length is capped. Long, comma-heavy prompts get truncated, so lead with the subject.
- Check rights before commercial use. The model licence applies even when the render was free.
