DALL-E (by OpenAI) is integrated into ChatGPT and available via API. It's convenient but limited — lower resolution than dedicated art generators, and the ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/mo) has generation limits. The API charges $0.04-0.08 per image.
Myjourney offers better image quality through Flux Pro, lower per-image pricing ($0.03), and AI video generation that DALL-E doesn't offer. No ChatGPT subscription required.
