Top match
Since you're focused on images and creative work, Google Gemini is a strong fit because it's built right into the Google tools you likely already use, like Search, Gmail, and Docs. You can get started on a generous free tier with just a Google account, and if you later want the most capable model or deeper integration across Workspace apps, that's when upgrading makes sense.
