Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: per-image prices look small but multiply fast, so 1,000 images is the natural planning unit. In practice the biggest savings come from batching at a lower tier for bulk generation, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by multiplying the per-image tier price by 1,000. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
Frequently asked questions
Why price per 1,000?+
Small per-image prices are easier to plan in thousands at real volume.
Does tier matter at volume?+
A lot — the tier price is multiplied by every image you generate.
Are these prices up to date?+
Yes. The model prices behind this calculator are refreshed and reviewed daily, so your estimate reflects current provider rates rather than a stale snapshot.
