Image generation spend usually lives on individual designers' credit cards or inside Creative Cloud bundles. Flowstate has no hostname-recognition or billing connectors for this modality today — coverage is forecast-only.
What's tracked
| Tool | Vendor | Pricing model | Coverage today | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Midjourney V8.1 | Midjourney | Credit-based subscription | Invisible | Add as AI Agent with monthly credit pack cost. |
| DALL-E | OpenAI | Bundled inside ChatGPT | Invisible (rolled into ChatGPT) | No separate line item; spend follows ChatGPT seats / API. |
| Sora-image workflows | OpenAI | Bundled inside ChatGPT | Invisible | Same as DALL-E — rolls into the ChatGPT subscription. |
| Adobe Firefly (Image Model 5) | Adobe | Bundled with Creative Cloud (Image Model 5 from 15 April 2026) | Invisible | Track as part of Creative Cloud SaaS spend. |
| Ideogram | Ideogram | Per-seat subscription | Invisible | Best-in-class for in-image text. Manual AI Agent entry. |
| Nano Banana / Imagen | Per-token via Vertex / AI Studio | Invisible (API path could be inferred via Gemini connector) | Spend lands on the Google AI bill. | |
| GLM-Image | Zhipu | Open source | Invisible | Self-hosted compute cost. |
| Stable Diffusion / Flux | Black Forest Labs | Self-hosted, or usage-based via Replicate / fal.ai | Invisible | Usage spend lands on Replicate/fal.ai — see Foundation APIs. |
| Recraft | Recraft | Per-seat subscription | Invisible | Manual AI Agent entry. |
| Getty Generative AI | Getty | Enterprise contract (with legal indemnification) | Invisible | Track as contract SaaS spend; the indemnification is the buying point. |
What Flowstate misses today
All of it. Image generation is one of the modalities we have not yet built coverage for — no hostnames captured, no billing connectors. The honest workaround is to add the relevant tool as an AI Agent line item per team with a monthly cost (credit-pack value, seat count × seat price, or contract value / 12). Where image gen rolls up into a broader bundle (DALL-E inside ChatGPT, Firefly inside Creative Cloud), the spend is already tracked at the parent — don't double-count.
