Hello there and thanks for checking out this workflow!
—Intro—
Whenever I download (yet another) new checkpoint I want to see how it performs side by side compared to others to find out what quirks, differences and similarities they all have.
Directly using them within different workflows with multiple passes, upscalers, adetailers, post-processing, etc. was concealing a lot of those.
So I built a workflow specifically for that and hope it proves useful to others as well.
—Purpose—
This workflow was built to compare checkpoints next to each other using the same seed and prompts, while allowing individual adjustments of all their individual parameters to help you find the checkpoint best suited for your needs!
By revealing differences in :
variety (compositions, faces, perspectives, lighting,...)
prompt adherence
realism / stylization
knowledge (cartoons, anime, movies, celebrities, artists, video games,...)
quality
—Features—
Up to 10 generations per batch
LoRA support
Metadata collection for each model + eventual LoRA
Automatic comparison assembly with Customizeable Labeling incl. LoRA
Option to attach full Comparisons to one another → Multi-Comparison-Assembly!
Tutorial guide for nodes and settings in dedicated ►INFO boxes
—Custom Nodes—
All of which can be installed through the ComfyUI-Manager
—Troubleshooting—
If nodes show up red (failing to load), check the 'Install Missing Custom Nodes' tab of the ComfyUI Manager for the missing node packs and install them.
Please check if all custom node packs load properly after installing, i.e. no
(IMPORT FAILED)messages next to any of them in the console upon ComfyUI startup.Always reload/drag'n'drop the original, downloaded workflow file into ComfyUI to reload an intact version of the workflow.
—Thanks—
The workflow would not be possible as is without these custom node packs. If you want to support the custom node creators, give them a ⭐ on their github repos! Thank you!
Feel free to ask any questions, share improvements or suggestions in the comment section and upload quirky checkpoint findings to contribute to unraveling all mysterious biases of checkpoints to unearth all their dirty secrets!

very helpful workflow. one small thing, maybe just me because i had to install the custom node pack for the string replace node.. but the input wasn't connected on string replace from text list to text - easy fix but wanted to mention - probably following your "reload workflow" instructions would avoid this :) Anyway great job!
Truly a great workflow. One of the best I've seen on civitai so far, especially in terms of documentation and explanations. I didn't even have to install any missing nodes. It worked right away.
The only thing that doesn't work for me is that in the comparison image, it renders the labels at the bottom. That's missing for me. There are no model labels. Any idea what could be causing this?
Hey there, glad you like it, thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻
I haven't updated it in a while and a few things broke in the meantime.
There is a lot I can upgrade though, so a new version is definitely in order. I'll probably get it done in the next few days 👌
@RedPinkRetro Hey mate. Thanks for your reply. So you mean the font text adding is broken atm? Yeah, would be great when it would work. At the moment the final image outputs are useless without the model markings.
And like someone elese mentioned here before - it would be so great to get a 8 slots or 10 slots version of this great workflow. :)
@MrSmith2025 Just uploaded the new version 9, scheduled to be live in about 2 hours.
V9 saves images with metadata, adds used LoRAs beneath the modelname, is more customizeable in the font/label settings and is more efficient; + it comes with 10 slots 🎉
@RedPinkRetro Sounds great! Will try it out! Thanks mate.
@RedPinkRetro Tested v9 and works great now. The 10 slots are a nice improvement. Thanks again for this update!
@MrSmith2025 Glad you like it! 🙌🏻
@RedPinkRetro Yes, its really helpful for testing and sorting out some models. At the moment iam trying out your other workflows. Will also give feedback to it on their comment sections. :)
