ChatGPT is the easiest AI art generator to start with because you simply ask for a picture and then ask for changes. OpenAI's pricing page lists limited image creation on the free plan, more image creation on paid tiers, and unlimited and faster image creation on Pro, plus a mode that generates images with Thinking for complex scenes. The images page offers starter styles such as sketches, anime, stickers, 3D avatars and acrylic paintings. OpenAI's own pricing page showed prices in PLN from our location, so we used the US App Store: ChatGPT Go costs $8.00 a month and Plus $19.99, while Pro starts at $100. The subscription also covers writing and research, which helps if you would pay for ChatGPT anyway. The weak points for artists are vague limits, since OpenAI does not publish a number for each plan, and fewer fine controls than Midjourney or Leonardo. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
