🟦 Where ThumbnailWP is different
The biggest structural difference: ThumbnailWP never makes an external API call to render an image. SleekPixel’s own AI assistant, by its nature, requires sending data to a third-party service and carries an ongoing API cost — a cost that has to be recovered somewhere in the pricing. ThumbnailWP’s dual GD/Imagick engine also means it renders identically whether or not a host has Imagick installed, rather than requiring it.
