| YYir | Aggregator | 1KListed as: GPT Image 2.5 Flare · 1K · text | $0.0085 / image | $0.00850 | — | Pricing API | yir.ai | NoteYir routes each job to the cheapest qualifying channel and bills that channel's public price with no markup; this is its lowest default-routed channel for the spec (APIMart). If that channel fails, the job moves to the next one, which can cost more. Wallet top-ups add a 3% payment fee. Yir reports 97.94% confirmed success on this channel over 533 jobs in 30 days. |

| OpenAI | Official | Medium · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2.5 Flare | $0.01317 / image | $0.01317 | 1.00× | Pricing page | developers.openai.com | NoteToken-billed: image output $30/1M tokens (image input $8/1M, text input $5/1M, cached $2/$1.25). Per-image figure = output-token cost only, computed with OpenAI's own GPT Image 2.5 calculator formula on the image-generation guide (439 output tokens at 1024x1024 medium); excludes prompt/input tokens. Calculator treats Sunburst and Flare identically. Batch API not supported for this model. Qualities: low/medium/high/xhigh/max. Flare = 'fastest' GPT Image 2.5 variant; same token rates as Sunburst, so low/high/max equal the Sunburst rows per the calculator. |

× official = normalized price ÷ the cheapest official price for the same model and spec. ~ marks a relaxed match: tier, resolution or audio is unspecified on one side, and every compatible official spec costs the same. — = no unambiguous official price to compare.
Confidence: “Pricing page” = read on the provider’s own pricing or docs page; “Pricing API” = read from a public API response. “BYO” tiers are bring-your-own-account estimates, not per-call prices.
Checked: the date shown with each price is when it was last checked. Dates more than 7 days before the latest update () are shown in amber.
