Nano Banana vs Stable Diffusion

Amo and Pimi: Which one to choose between these two

PIMI Pimi
The price gap is huge here: Nano Banana goes through Google One, with AI Plus starting at US$4.99; Stable Diffusion's Core (Brand Studio) costs US$50.
AMO Amo
這個十倍差距會誤導你。Stable Diffusion 本身是開源模型,US$50 買的是託管服務,不是模型授權,它另外還有 API 按量計費的選項。
PIMI Pimi
So if you know how to set it up yourself, Stable Diffusion can be close to zero cost?
AMO Amo
對,這組的答案就取決於你會不會自己架。不會架的話 Nano Banana 的 US$4.99 是壓倒性划算;會架的話 Stable Diffusion 的彈性沒有對手,別再糾結那個十倍差距了。
So the conclusion is

Not self-hosting: Nano Banana through Google One starting at US$4.99 is overwhelmingly the better deal. Self-hosting: Stable Diffusion is an open-source model, and the US$50 is just hosting cost — self-deployment cost can approach zero.
