Compare identity and evidence
For each side, record the provider, exact identifier, official page, repository, release date, license, interface, and region. Missing evidence is a decision risk, not a feature difference.
How to work through it
Use one matched creative brief
If both paths can be verified and accessed lawfully, run the same text-led and image-led jobs with the same inputs, frame, attempt budget, and acceptance rubric.
Separate capability from operating fit
Document output observations, infrastructure, access, integration effort, moderation, rights process, editorial repair, support, and delivery compatibility. Do not turn repository claims into measured production results.
