Model comparisons
Qwen Image Edit Spicy or Z-Image Spicy Pro, tier by tier: matched prices, request fields, limits and the content policy measured on each.
Qwen Image Edit Spicy edits a single source image from one plain-English instruction, with no mask, strength dial or aspect ratio to set. It is uncensored, and an optional seed keeps two edits comparable.
View model details →View sample outputs →Z-Image Spicy Pro is an uncensored text-to-image endpoint with exact width and height set independently up to 2560 pixels per side. The prompt has no character cap and the prompt expander is off by default.

Start with the input you have, the result you want and your budget. These are the differences that affect that choice.
These tools produce different results. Choose the operation you need first; a lower price does not make one a substitute for the other.
Current price
A start price answers a different question than the one you have. These are the tiers both models publish, matched setting for setting, in US dollars per billed unit with no conversion step in between.
These two bill on different tiers, so there is no row to line up. Each one's own published tiers are listed here instead.
Qwen Image Edit Spicy: $0.038 / output images
Z-Image Spicy Pro: $0.019 / output images
Arithmetic on the published rates at each model's own default setting, not a quote. The console prices your actual settings before a request is accepted.
About this comparison
Every row here is read from the JSON Schema the endpoint validates against, so it matches what the API will really accept rather than a feature list written by hand.

Do low-filter models allow every request?
Two separate facts sit behind these labels. The first is what we do, which is nothing: no platform content filter, and no maturity flag to set on a request. The second is what each model does on its own, and that is the only part that varies between these two.
Qwen Image Edit Spicy
This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
Z-Image Spicy Pro
This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
Use these content labels to shortlist models, then open each model page for available examples and content-test details.
The label never changes your obligations. Age, consent, real-person likeness and the law where you operate stay with you, and SpicyAPI does not inspect each request.
Can I swap the model ID without changing the request body?
The task lifecycle is shared; the body is not. Each endpoint publishes its own JSON Schema and the API validates against that, so this is the list to reconcile before a switch.
Compare
The model identifiers are alibaba/qwen-image-spicy-edit/edit and alibaba/z-image-spicy-pro/text-to-image, and both go in the same field of the same request.
Both run the same way: submit the task, then poll it or take the callback. Queueing and retry logic carry over unchanged.
Both use the same submit-and-track flow, but their required inputs may differ. Check each model page before switching.
One key, one balance, one set of spend caps. Both bill to the same account in US dollars, and the per-key daily, monthly and lifetime limits apply to whichever one you call.
Questions developers ask
These tools produce different results. Choose the operation you need first; a lower price does not make one a substitute for the other. Prices may change; check the estimate shown for your actual settings before submitting.
Qwen Image Edit Spicy allows 180 minutes per task and Z-Image Spicy Pro allows 180. Those are ceilings rather than typical times — most requests finish far sooner — but they are what your own client timeout has to survive.
