Question 1

Is DALL·E free?

Accepted Answer

Image generation inside ChatGPT is available on paid tiers with usage limits; free access is heavily restricted. Check OpenAI's current plans, as these limits change frequently.

Question 2

Which handles text inside images better?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT's image generation is genuinely strong here and generally ahead. If your images need legible words baked in, that is a real reason to use it — or to generate the image here and set the type yourself, which is more reliable than either.

Question 3

Can I find an image I made three months ago?

Accepted Answer

In IMGX Studio, yes — the gallery is searchable. In a chat interface you are scrolling through conversations, which is the most common complaint from people who switch.
