The site has 18 and 709 reproducible cases for each, respectively. Below, we compare strengths, prompt writing, and final results side by side.

The Bottom Line

Ideogram 4 is better for Poster and headline typography; Nano Banana Pro is better for Consistent characters across multiple reference images. Running the same idea through both is usually worth it — they "listen" differently, so the prompt has to be adjusted to match.

Strengths & Prompt-Writing Comparison

Ideogram 4

Poster and headline typographyGraphic design and brand visualsCharacter sheets and multi-view turnaroundsAccurate rendering of complex text
Lock the wording in quotes, then describe the type's character (sans, handwritten, serif) and the hierarchy of the layout. Don't push more than three blocks of text into one image — they start crowding each other.

Nano Banana Pro

Consistent characters across multiple reference imagesIn-image text layout & renderingFollows long, structured prompts closelyFine-grained layout for e-commerce & infographics
Feel free to use structured formats (JSON, sectioned lists) when writing prompts — it parses hierarchical instructions much better than piles of short phrases. When text needs to appear in the image, write the exact wording in quotes.
