Social Media Ad — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A mid-20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a cream oversized hoodie and black leggings holds up a pastel water bottle with a visible logo, looking just off the front-facing phone camera with a casual half-smile like she’s mid-sentence. She’s in a bright, tidy kitchen by a sunlit window, one hand twisting the lid as if demonstrating it, with clean natural daylight and subtle handheld selfie framing like a TikTok UGC ad. Keep it realistic and relatable—slight motion blur from movement, minimal makeup, everyday countertop items in the background."

Flux Ultra 1.1 Strengths
- Premium, photorealistic output that reads as “high production value” in-feed
- Exceptional fine detail (skin, fabric, product materials) for close-up ad crops and hero shots
- Stronger results for luxury, beauty, lifestyle, and product-forward creatives where realism sells
- Great for single-image “hero” ads where quality matters more than volume
- Best fit when you need fewer revisions to reach a polished, client-ready look
Z-Image Turbo Strengths
- Ultra-fast generation for rapid iteration, A/B testing, and high-volume ad variant production
- Lower cost per image (8 credits) to scale campaigns and explore more concepts
- LoRA support for brand style consistency (signature look, product aesthetic, recurring character)
- Image-to-image support to refine existing ad comps, adjust styling, or keep layout continuity
- Strong choice for performance marketing workflows where speed and throughput are key
Verdict
If your priority is premium, photoreal polish for hero ads, flagship launches, or high-end product storytelling, Flux Ultra 1.1 is the better pick—even at 16 credits per image—because the perceived quality can reduce rework and elevate the ad’s credibility.
If you need fast, cost-effective creative production for frequent testing, multiple hooks, and consistent brand styling via LoRA (plus image-to-image refinements), Z-Image Turbo is the practical choice at 8 credits per image. Many teams use Turbo for exploration and scaling, then reserve Ultra for final “best-performing” concepts that deserve premium finishing.
