One image at about one megapixel (1K or 1024x1024), or the single price a provider charges for any size, at the cheapest quality it sells. Relay channels and "from" prices stay in the model tables but don't set these. Each model links to every provider, size and quality.

How the numbers are made
One unit
US dollars for one image at the size and quality the provider quotes. A per-megapixel price is the price of a one-megapixel image; yuan at 7.1 per dollar.
Feeds first
Black Forest Labs, xAI, Runware, Atlas Cloud, CometAPI, kie.ai and Higgsfield publish machine-readable prices; those rows are rebuilt from the feed every day.
Every page, every day
Every other price keeps the exact text it was read from. The page is re-read daily; a price that disappears is left out until a person checks it. Results go to a public repository.
Official means the maker
"Official API" is only the model maker's own API: OpenAI for GPT Image, Google for Nano Banana, Black Forest Labs for FLUX. Runway or Vertex reselling another lab's model counts as a reseller.
Relays and "from" prices
An offer more than 70% below the maker's price is tagged as a relay channel. Midjourney has no API of its own, so its offers are tagged unofficial. Neither sets a headline price.
Who made this
The developer of Jutsu Studio. No provider pays to be listed or ranked.

FAQ.
Which AI image API is the cheapest?
For one image at about one megapixel, the cheapest current models are GPT Image 2 ($0.0048 at EachLabs), GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst ($0.0048 at EachLabs), Z-Image Turbo ($0.005 at SiliconFlow). Price alone says nothing about quality; GPT Image, Nano Banana Pro and FLUX.2 [max] cost more because they do more.
How much does the GPT Image 2 API cost per image?
From $0.0048 per image at EachLabs (low quality). OpenAI's own price at 1024x1024 is $0.006 at low quality; higher quality costs more. Checked November 2, 2026.
How much does Nano Banana 2 cost per image?
From $0.04 per 1K image at kie.ai. Google's own price is $0.067 on Gemini API. 2K and 4K images cost more; every size is on the model's page.
How are prices compared when providers bill differently?
Every price is in US dollars for one image at the size and quality the provider quotes. A per-megapixel price counts as the price of a one-megapixel image, token prices are used only where the provider states how many tokens an image takes, and yuan are converted at 7.1 per dollar. The headline price is for about one megapixel (1K or 1024x1024); the price as the provider states it is shown next to each offer.
How often is the table updated?
Daily. A script reads each provider's price feed or pricing page and confirms every price is still there; a price that disappears is left out until a person checks it.
Is this comparison independent?
It is made by the developer of Jutsu Studio, a free Mac app for Higgsfield. No provider pays to be listed or ranked. The Higgsfield sign-up links are referral links; they don't change its place in any table.
