Google's Gemini page presents Nano Banana 2 as the free model inside Gemini. Ziztu does not run Nano Banana 2, so this page compares nothing between them beyond what Google states.

Can Nano Banana Pro edit my photos?

Is there a Nano Banana Pro API?
Ziztu is the app, not an API: it does not sell API access to Nano Banana Pro, and the generator is not a public endpoint. Developers can call Nano Banana Pro through the platforms that host it.
