How does Promagen choose which platforms to recommend?
Recommendations are based on Promagen's 4-tier prompt compatibility system and platform analysis across 40 AI image generators. Each platform is recommended for a use case based on its prompt architecture, capabilities, and strengths — not on subjective aesthetics or paid placement.
