DeepAI vs Perspective

DeepAI packages a range of generative AI endpoints — text generation, image generation/editing, and other vision and language models — behind a single API-key-based REST API. Anyone can try the tools free in-browser without an account, while API usage is billed through prepaid credit packs ($5-$1,000) or a $9.99/month Pro plan that adds higher volume, private generations, and an ad-free experience. There's no separate enterprise contract; every API consumer uses the same pay-as-you-go structure.

Perspective API, built by Google's Jigsaw team, scores text for toxicity, insults, threats, and related attributes using ML models trained on human-rated comments, returning probabilities from a JSON REST endpoint (commentanalyzer.googleapis.com). It's free and quota-gated rather than metered, but Google has announced the service will be shut down after 2026 and is only accepting quota-increase requests through February 2026. New integrations should plan for a different moderation provider before then, since Google has said it won't offer direct migration support.
