Verdict

Pick by what you need, not by the total. The not-for list is the part to read first.

Choose Example Studio for product shots and anything with text; choose Example Draft for fast, cheap concept iterations.

Choose it when

  • product marketers (Studio)
  • concept artists on a budget (Draft)

Not for

  • Studio is not a good answer if you generate hundreds of throwaway drafts a day

Tested on version suite v1.

The trade-off, said plainly

You trade about $6 a month and some speed for noticeably better text and resolution. If your outputs ship to customers, that trade is worth it; if they are sketches, it is not.

Common questions

Answer first, then why, an example, the limits and what to do next.

Is Example Draft cheaper than Example Studio?

Yes, by $6 a month on the Pro tier; both have a watermarked free tier.

Which one renders text better?

Example Studio. It scored 5/10 on text rendering versus 4/10, and kept short headlines legible more often.

Can I switch between them?

Yes. Prompts transfer directly; style references do not, since each has its own reference format.
