Nano Banana

[Placebo]

Thought this was super cool so wanted to share it. Was curious if Nano Banana could handle a GPS prompt:

Please generate a photograph from the position 33°51'08.4"S 151°13'05.3"E looking due South, the photo should be taken at sunset and it should be during the 1970s with appropriate people, fashions, vehicles, technology and the photograph should look like it was taken with an appropriate era camera on appropriate era film

Please generate a photograph from the position 29°58'32.2"N 31°08'03.4"E looking due South, the photo should be taken at sunset and it should be during the 1930s with appropriate people, fashions, vehicles, and the photograph should look like it was taken with an appropriate era camera on appropriate era film

Please generate a photograph from the position 53°25'12.5"N 1°30'28.7"W looking due South, the photo should be taken at sunset and it should be during the 1950s with appropriate people, fashions, vehicles, buildings, the photograph should look like it was taken with an appropriate era camera, the perspective should be elevated looking across the view below as though from a blimp

Of course

I use two:

Abacus AI - A Multi LLM for $10 per month which gives you 20,000 credits to use, you can keep using it when they run out as long as you route through cheaper LLMs (unlike other Multi LLMs which remove your access when you have no credits left), it offers access to 30+ LLMs including Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro.

Magnific (formerly Freepik) I signed up via an Indian VPN at Christmas when they were doing a 50% discount so I got it for around 50 EUR per year, best code I could find is this one GMRP1004ABR348 which saves around 20% so with an Indian IP it's around 97 EUR for a year for the standard Premium.

These are my affiliate links, entirely up to you if you want to use them

Which one are you using?

Appreciate it i have look.
Im using https://artlist.io but yeah its 19.99EUR a month, I was just not sure about other sites if they offer the same quality AI. Here as well you are no longer able to use your credits when your subscription expired unfortunately. Artlist has a free sign up with a handful of credits, like you can generate 3 images with Nano Banana Pro so you can test it if its better or not.

But sorry i never checked which AI agent costs how much credit, i still have more credits than i need as i just wanted to sub for a site where i can generate 10-20 images the most a month.

Spoiler

 

[Placebo]

I did a basic one on Abacus earlier:







As you can see that was 143 credits so at that cost you can generate 139 in a month with 20,000 credits. I think more complex/larger images will be more but it's not a bad baseline.

FWIW I asked Claude to compare Artlist and Magnific:

Which Gives Better Credit Value?​

For video generation​

Artlist wins.
Reasons:

• More video-centric plans.
• Stronger emphasis on Veo, Kling, Seedance workflows.
• Better creator-oriented video production environment. [artlist.io], [help.artlist.io]

For image generation​

Magnific wins.
Reasons:

• Unlimited image generation on many models at Premium+.
• Industry-leading upscaling.
• Broader image-focused workflow ecosystem. [magnific.com], [eesel.ai]

For stock assets​

Magnific wins.
Magnific inherits the Freepik ecosystem with hundreds of millions of creative assets. [eesel.ai], [magnific.com]

For all-in-one video creator workflow​

Artlist wins.
Music, voice, footage licensing, video generation, and editing workflow are more tightly integrated. [artlist.io], [help.artlist.io]

My Recommendation​

If your work is primarily:

• YouTube, ads, filmmaking, social videos → Artlist
• AI images, concept art, marketing graphics, product renders → Magnific
• Heavy image generation (>100s/day) → Magnific Premium+
• Heavy video generation → Artlist Creator or Professional

For purely AI generation value, I'd rate:

1. Magnific Premium+ (best image-generation value)
2. Artlist Creator (best video-generation value)
3. Magnific Pro
4. Artlist Starter

The deciding factor is whether you generate more images or more videos.
