Imagesv2 vs Makifyai
Designers, marketers and e-commerce sellers who need finished image assets - posters with readable text, true transparent PNGs, editable SVG and layered PSD - from OpenAI's GPT Image 2 without an OpenAI account, and who would rather buy credits than add another monthly AI subscription · E-commerce sellers, small marketing teams and creators who turn existing product shots into listing images, ads, mockups and social graphics without a designer - one browser workspace over GPT Image 2.5/2.6, the Nano Banana 2.x family, Seedream 5.0 and FLUX 3, with 30 free credits on sign-up and one-time packs from $9.90. A sensible fit if you want per-image credit control instead of a fixed subscription and will read the refund rule before paying: 3 calendar days, 50 paid credits or fewer, minus a 2-10% processing fee. Not a fit if you need to know who the data controller is, how long uploaded product photos are kept, or that your outputs are licensed for commercial use before you upload client material - no privacy notice on the site names a controller, address or retention period, training use is never mentioned, and the Terms decline to guarantee commercial usability even though the marketing copy says a commercial licence is included.

Official sources checked 2026-10-22Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-22 12:18 UTC (05:18 PDT); editorial entry written independently from live pages on the site's Pacific working date 2026-10-22. The submission's summary and category (Creative) were accurate. Prices were read from the rendered /pricing cards and cross-checked against the /zh/pricing mirror and the site's llms.txt; every figure agreed and the per-credit lines reconcile with the credit counts ($49.90/12,000 = $0.0042, $199.90/60,000 = $0.0033, $499.90/240,000 = $0.0021), and yearly allowances equal twelve monthly allowances. Credit costs per image come from the home page pricing block and the FAQ. Legal pages: /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service return 200 with real substance, while /privacy, /terms, /refund-policy, /contact, /legal, /cookie-policy and /acceptable-use all 404; the ToS defers generated-image retention to unspecified 'image storage terms' that are not published. Non-affiliation is disclosed in both the privacy policy and the ToS. Trackers were read from the served markup: Google Analytics 4 G-GC01M2BQCY (gtag config) and Microsoft Clarity (clarity.ms/tag) are injected on /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service themselves, with no consent banner anywhere and no analytics processor named in the notice, against a policy sentence saying data is not transferred to outside parties. Contact: support@imagesv2.ai and alex@imagesv2.ai both returned 250 against the domain's Cloudflare MX with a random local part returning 550 5.1.1, so the published address is a working mailbox and the domain is not a catch-all. Domain registered 2026-04-05 via Dynadot behind a privacy service (Cloudflare NS jake/noor), sixteen days before OpenAI released gpt-image-2 on 2026-04-21 - a pre-launch registration of a model name, not an incumbent under this name. Name family sweeps found four unrelated operators on four different Cloudflare NS pairs (gptimage2.com, gptimage2.ai, gpt-image-2.com, and imagesv2.com now held by an Indonesian gambling site), so the request asks whether a relationship exists rather than demanding rights. No affiliate or partner page exists (/affiliates, /affiliate, /referral, /partners and /api/referrals all 404).

Official sources checked 2026-11-10Submitted via form by vendor; editorial entry written independently. Prices read from the served /pricing HTML on 2026-11-10 and cross-checked against the plan config shipped inside that page: monthly Basic $11.90/100, Standard $29.90/300, Pro slider $59.90-$159.90 for 750-2,300 credits; annual Basic $118.80 ($9.90/mo, 1,800), Standard $238.80 ($19.90/mo, 4,800), Pro $358.80-$958.80 ($29.90-$79.90/mo, 10,800-38,400); one-time packs 80 cr $9.90, 150 $19.90, 250 $29.90, 400 $39.90, 650 $59.90, 900 $79.90, 1,200 $99.90, 2,500 $199 (183 days); subscriber top-ups 300 $29.90, 1,500 $119, 4,500 $349, 8,500 $649, 12,500 $899; Starter Pass 40 cr / 7 days / $4.99. The /zh/pricing mirror carries the same USD figures with a CNY column, and every annual figure equals 12 monthly payments less the badge shown (17/33/50%). Legal set read in full: /privacy-policy and /terms-of-service both 'Last updated Oct 11, 2026', /refund-policy Aug 14, 2026; /privacy, /terms, /about, /contact and /refund all return 404 (the in-app config still points its refund_url at /refund). Sitewide footer names the operator as ARKELUMA LLC; the policy itself names no controller, address or jurisdiction. Whole-word sweep for 'train' across all fetched pages: zero hits. Processors are named only by category. Browser check on a clean profile 2026-11-10: GA4 G-CDGZN0YSBE plus stats.g.doubleclick.net, Microsoft Clarity xtk49ey6wl, c.bing.com and static.cloudflareinsights.com all fired with no consent banner rendered; cookies _ga, _ga_CDGZN0YSBE, MUID, SRM_B, ANONCHK, CLID and localStorage keys device_fingerprint / attribution_session_id were written. MX is Cloudflare Email Routing and accepts every local part, so an SMTP RCPT probe confirms the domain receives mail but not that a human reads a given address; support@makifyai.com is the published contact. Domain registered 2026-04-08 (Cloudflare registrar, NS audrey/sid); the name market is unrelated - makify.com is a DIY/YouTube hobby site and makify.app does not resolve - so no name dispute is recorded. No hands-on test: entering the product requires creating an account, which is outside the scope of an editorial check.
