| Pricing | Not published · free tier: None verified | Gemini API: $0.50/1M input tokens and $60.00/1M image output tokens — approx. $0.045 per 0.5K image, $0.151 per 4K image · free tier: Free image generation at the app layer (default model in Gemini app, Search AI Mode, Lens, and zero-credit default in Flow); API free tier listed as "Not available" for images |
| Pricing model | Usage-based | Usage-based API pricing plus consumer subscription tiers |
| Best for | Engineering-led teams generating at volume — e-commerce catalogues, ad variant production, game and media asset pipelines — especially those needing character consistency across hundreds of assets or self-hosted weights for compliance and fine-tuning. | Teams already inside Google Workspace, Ads or Cloud that need high-volume, fast, text-accurate imagery — mockups, infographics, localised ad creative — and developers wanting sub-$0.10 batch generation at scale with provenance signalling. |
| Avoid if | You are a solo creator, marketer or small team wanting a subscription app with a UI and fixed monthly cost, an agency serving more than three client domains under a standard licence, or a procurement buyer who requires published pricing. | You need a free image API tier to prototype, you are deploying to under-18 users who must edit images, you require maximum studio fidelity on every render, or you operate in a country where Pro-tier image features are unavailable. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
