Frequently Asked Questions
What does this image calculator estimate?
It multiplies the catalog output-image price by the number of images. Estimates are in USD. Input text or image tokens, taxes, retries, and additional services are not included. Check the provider pricing and terms before budgeting a production workload.
Why is a comparison marked Not available?
The catalog does not contain a price for that model at the selected quality and resolution. This is not a free generation option. Unsupported combinations are omitted from the chart; Gemini entries use their listed per-image baseline.
Is GPT Image 1 Mini always the same percentage cheaper?
No. Savings depend on quality and resolution. For the catalog high-quality 1024x1024 setting, 1,000 images cost $36 with Mini and $167 with GPT Image 1: a $131 difference, or 78.4% relative to GPT Image 1. This is a cost comparison, not a measurement of image quality.
Does the volume chart include a bulk discount?
No. The chart uses the same unit price at each quantity. Any provider-specific batch pricing, free tier, or negotiated discount must be verified separately.
How do I estimate a workflow that generates both text and images?
Use this calculator for image output, then use the Token Calculator for text input and output. Add the estimates and any provider-specific charges for the full workflow budget.
