Nano Banana 2 vs Seedream 5.0 Pro

Nano Banana 2 and Seedream 5.0 Pro differ on 3 specifications — from what each one costs to which inputs it accepts. Every value below is read from the live model catalog, so it stays current as new versions ship.

Which should you use?

Nano Banana 2 reaches 4K where Seedream 5.0 Pro stops at 2K; Seedream is cheaper at entry (7 against 9). If anything is printed or cropped hard, the ceiling decides it.

Nano Banana 2 covers 1K, 2K and 4K from 9 to 23 credits, and handles editing. Seedream 5.0 Pro covers 1K and 2K from 7 to 13.

The entry prices are close enough that they should not drive the decision. The resolution ceiling should: 4K against 2K is the difference between an image that can be printed or cropped and one that cannot.

For web and social work at 1K or 2K, Seedream 5.0 Pro is slightly cheaper and gives up nothing you will use. For anything with a chance of ending up large, Nano Banana 2 is the only one of the two that can supply the pixels.

Pick Nano Banana 2 when

  • The output needs to be larger than 2K.
  • You need image editing as well as generation.

Pick Seedream 5.0 Pro when

  • 1K or 2K covers your delivery.
  • You want the marginally lower entry price and are iterating a lot.
