Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
For photorealistic work—images that read as real camera captures—small differences in skin texture, lens behavior, lighting falloff, and micro-detail can make or break believability. Reve and Seedream 4.5 both produce high-quality outputs in Influencer Studio, but they tend to excel in different parts of a hyperrealistic workflow.
Below is a practical comparison focused on lifelike portraits, product shots, and real-world scenes: how consistently each model holds realism, how much control you get when refining results, and how pricing impacts iteration when you’re chasing “indistinguishable from a photo.”
Photorealistic — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Hyperrealistic DSLR-style photo of a woman in her mid-20s with shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair, light freckles, wearing an oversized gray hoodie and black leggings, holding her phone at arm’s length for a casual selfie while glancing near the camera with a relaxed half-smile. She’s standing in a small sunlit kitchen next to a cluttered counter (coffee mug, banana, open laptop), mid-pour of oat milk into iced coffee, candid “morning routine” vibe with natural window light and realistic skin texture and imperfections. Shot like an Instagram story with slight handheld framing, true-to-life colors, accurate light physics, no glam retouching."

Reve Strengths
- Strong aesthetic consistency that can translate into polished, photo-ready compositions
- Accurate text rendering for photoreal scenes that include signage, labels, packaging, or UI elements
- Efficient iteration for photoreal exploration at 8 credits per image
- Great for creative-but-real editorial looks where styling matters as much as realism
Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Robust image-to-image editing for photoreal refinement (fixing details, matching references, iterating variations)
- High-resolution output that helps preserve fine texture (skin pores, fabric weave, product materials)
- Versatile styles with strong control across different photoreal setups (studio, lifestyle, street, interiors)
- Well-suited for precision workflows where you need to adjust an existing image rather than restart
Verdict
If your photorealistic goal is to generate strong “first-pass” images with clean composition and reliable text-in-image (think packaging, storefronts, product labels), Reve is a cost-effective choice that can reach a convincing camera-like look quickly—especially when you’re iterating through many prompts.
If your priority is photoreal accuracy through controlled refinement—starting from a base image, matching a reference, or making targeted edits without losing realism—Seedream 4.5 is often the better fit, albeit at double the per-image cost. For many hyperreal projects, the decision comes down to whether you need fast generation (Reve) or edit-heavy precision (Seedream 4.5).
