Published prices (11)
Published prices — not yet independently tested. Figures are copied from each provider's public pricing page or pricing API on 2026-09-28. We have not run test generations yet, so a listed price says nothing about reliability or output quality. Every price links to its source.

Token rates: image output $30/1M, image input $8/1M, text input $5/1M. Batch API: 50% off token rates (image output $15/1M). Supports sizes up to 3840px edge (2K/4K). Input tokens billed extra. |
| GPT Image 2 | Official | Medium · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2 | $0.053 / image | $0.0530 | 1.00× | Pricing page | developers.openai.com | NotePer-image output cost stated in OpenAI's 'Calculating costs' table; 1024x1536 / 1536x1024 = $0.041. Token rates: image output $30/1M, image input $8/1M, text input $5/1M. Batch API: 50% off token rates (image output $15/1M). Supports sizes up to 3840px edge (2K/4K). Input tokens billed extra. |
| GPT Image 2 | Official | High · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2 | $0.211 / image | $0.211 | 1.00× | Pricing page | developers.openai.com | NotePer-image output cost stated in OpenAI's 'Calculating costs' table; 1024x1536 / 1536x1024 = $0.165.

| GPT Image 2.5 Flare | 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. |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | Official | Low · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | $0.00588 / image | $0.00588 | 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 (196 output tokens at 1024x1024 low); excludes prompt/input tokens. Calculator treats Sunburst and Flare identically. Batch API not supported for this model. Qualities: low/medium/high/xhigh/max. |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | Official | Medium · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | $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).

Calculator treats Sunburst and Flare identically. Batch API not supported for this model. Qualities: low/medium/high/xhigh/max. |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | Official | High · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | $0.05268 / image | $0.05268 | 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 (1756 output tokens at 1024x1024 high); excludes prompt/input tokens. Calculator treats Sunburst and Flare identically. Batch API not supported for this model. Qualities: low/medium/high/xhigh/max. |
| GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | Official | Max · 1024×1024Listed as: GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst | $0.2107 / image | $0.2107 | 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 (7024 output tokens at 1024x1024 max); excludes prompt/input tokens. Calculator treats Sunburst and Flare identically. Batch API not supported for this model. Qualities: low/medium/high/xhigh/max. xhigh = 3122 tokens = $0.09366. |
× 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.
