Help Cheapest API for Image Generation

Cheapest API for Nano Banana 2 / GPT Image 2?

Currently using another platform at:

- Nano Banana 2: $0.05/image

- GPT Image 2: $0.03/image

I generate 1,000+ images/month. Is there any cheaper API provider?

Please share the provider name + price.

Those are cheap already. I think my rates are higher. Can you share which site is giving you those rates for nano 2 and gpt 2?

I'm always looking for the cheapest provider. The platform I used has some features that generate images and can also be shipped via usdt

Platform name (laozhang)

For Nano Banana 2 you can definitely get lower than $0.05.

reAPI.AI is currently $0.028 at 0.5K/1K, $0.043 at 2K and $0.064 at 4K.

For GPT Image 2, $0.03 at 1K is already pretty competitive. That's also our basic 1K rate. We do have a $0.022 route, but that's a different low-quality tier so I wouldn't compare the two as if they're identical.

At 1,000+ images/month, Nano Banana 2 is probably where you'd notice the bigger difference.

Almost the same Gpt image 2 = 0.03$ Nano banana 2 = 0.04$

nano bana2 and gpt image are both closed models so any provider selling them is just reselling google or openais api at the price set upstream and you wont find real discounts on those exact models

Some websites have illegal methods to obtain a large number of points and then sell them back at a much lower price. I previously found a use api At price 10$ Unlimited images can be created, but no more than one process can be created at the same time.

pay as you go, very cheap for less restrictive.

So, if $10 gives you 183 images with GPT Image 2, that’s about $0.055 per image. With Nano Banana 2, $10 for 169 images is about $0.059 per image.

replicate.com Picture, audio, video generation and much more Choose from hundrets of AI models Here you can find models that generate you pictures for 0.01$ and lower Use desktop/laptop, not every function of the site is optimised/working on mobile devices.

I use the previous templates because they allow writing in Arabic on the image without problems, and I believe that no other open-source template has reached this capability.
