An honest comparison
Perchance's AI character generator describes itself as free, with no sign-up. OC Generator costs credits, and in return gives you two commercial image models, reference images for consistency, 2K and 4K output and a private history.
If you use the Perchance AI character generator and want a different tool, OC Generator is a paid alternative focused on original character art. You describe a character or upload up to 3 reference images, and Seedream 4.5 (10 credits) or Nano Banana 2 (20 credits) draws it, up to 4K. Perchance's page describes itself as free, with no sign-up; OC Generator needs a free account and purchased credits. OC Generator is not affiliated with Perchance.
Perchance's AI character generator is free; OC Generator charges credits per image and shows the price before you generate. If cost matters most, the free tool may suit you better.
Seedream 4.5 for detailed new designs and Nano Banana 2 for keeping a character consistent, both run through a commercial model API.
Upload up to 3 images of your OC and keep the face, hair and outfit in new poses and scenes.
Your images are saved to your account's history, listed only for you and ready to download again.
Paste the character description you used before, or upload an image of your OC that you have the right to use.
Seedream 4.5 for a new design, Nano Banana 2 to keep an existing one.
Generate a few versions and keep using whichever tool suits you.

A free generator makes more sense when:
Paying per image makes more sense when:
If you made a character elsewhere and have the right to use the image, upload it as a reference and describe a new pose or scene; Nano Banana 2 keeps the design. Paste your old text description too: plain, concrete descriptions work with both models.

No. OC Generator is an independent service with no connection to Perchance or perchance.org. We mention Perchance only to compare the two honestly.
If you have the right to use the image, upload it as a reference with Nano Banana 2 and describe the new pose or scene. You can also paste the text description you used before.
No. Human, humanoid and anthropomorphic animal characters are drawn as adults, fully clothed and in non-sexual poses, and explicit or gory requests are not allowed.
Each image has a real cost from the model provider. Paying per image buys two commercial models, reference images, 2K and 4K output, a private history and automatic refunds for failed generations. If none of that matters to you, a free tool may be enough.
