starryai alternative
starryai alternative with every top image model in one place
Pixel Dojo puts Seedream 5, GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana 2.1, Kling Image and more behind one credit balance, so you pick the model per picture and animate the one you love.
starryai is a friendly art app with a deep style menu. We wanted to see how far one anime brief goes when you can cast it to four different models, so we drew the same airship deckhand on each.
2.5 credits ($0.16) per image at 2K. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

More of what starryai fans make, made on Pixel Dojo
Every image and clip below was made on Pixel Dojo with the prompt shown.
Kling 3.0 animated the Seedream 5 picture, wind in his ponytail and the sail, with rope creaks in the sound.
Anime style animation: the deckhand pulls the coiled rope taut, then looks up at the glowing sail and smiles as golden clouds drift past below the deck, wind lifting his ponytail and the canvas. Gentle camera drift. Sound: wind, creaking rope and canvas flapping.
Interior design on FLUX 3 Image, calm and photographic.
Interior design render of a small sunroom reading corner, a built in window bench with oatmeal wool cushions, trailing pothos on a wooden shelf, terracotta floor tiles, afternoon light through tall windows, calm Scandinavian style.
A clean headshot on Nano Banana 2.1 for profiles and team pages.
Professional headshot of an architect, a woman in her forties with grey streaked dark hair in a low bun, small gold earrings and a navy blazer, warm soft smile, plain warm grey backdrop, soft key light, sharp focus on the eyes.
Flat merch art on Recraft V4.1, ready for a sticker sheet.
Enamel pin design of a round orange cat asleep inside a blue teacup, bold gold outlines, flat colors, small steam curl above, centered on a plain white background.

One anime deckhand on four image models
We wrote one anime prompt for an airship deckhand in his late thirties and ran it unchanged on four models. Each tile shows its settings and credits.
Anime illustration of an airship deckhand, a man in his late thirties with light stubble, faint laugh lines and a short dark ponytail, coiling a thick rope on a wooden deck above a sea of golden clouds at sunset, canvas sails glowing behind him, cel shading, soft painted sky.

- Seedream 5 gave the cleanest anime finish, full length at the rail with the sail lit from behind, for 2.5 credits.
- GPT Image 2.5 told the most story, adding a red neckerchief and a floating city on the horizon.
- Nano Banana 2.1 leaned painterly and a little more realistic, with gloves and heavy rope work.
- Kling Image pulled back to a wide shot framed by the sail for 1 credit, a strong pick for key art and backgrounds.
Why starryai fans make art here too
Cast the model, not just the style
A style preset changes the look; a different model changes the drawing. Running one prompt on two or three models is the fastest way to find your picture.
Bring the picture to life
Hand any still to Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.5 or Veo 3.1 as a start frame, as we did with the deckhand above.
Keep a character
Save a face in Character Studio and call it by @name in any prompt, so your hero looks the same in every scene.
See the price first
Every model page shows its credit price before you generate, so a four model test like ours never surprises you.
When starryai is the better pick
starryai lives on your phone, with a community feed and a weekly challenge, and its App Store listing shows a 4.6 rating from 22K ratings. If you want quick art in a tap from a style menu, it is easy to love.
If you want the newest models from several labs, video on the same balance and an API for your own app, we think Pixel Dojo is the better home.
Pixel Dojo pricing for AI art
Plans are Lite $10 a month for 160 credits, Pro $25 for 500 credits, Pro Max $50 for 1,100 credits. Every plan includes every model and commercial use.
The deckhand images cost between 1 and 2.5 credits each, and the clip cost 27.5 credits. Every tile shows its own price.
Under our refund policy, a first purchase can be refunded within 7 days, in full if under 20% of the credits are used and pro-rated after that.
