TokelyTHE COST OF BUILDING WITH AI
Compare AI image API costs
Compare enabled image-generation variants with explicit per-image rates, reference requirements and fixed quality settings. Explore GPT Image, FLUX, Gemini and other supported models.
THE SHORT ANSWER
A useful image API price comparison matches model version, quality, size and input requirements. Tokely lists bounded generation variants below; each model page contains the actual parameters and billing contract. These are rate cards, not image-quality benchmarks.
A fixed variant is a specific product
Two offers for the same image model may use different quality or resolution. Open the model page and compare its defaults and allowed fields before interpreting a lower price. Tokely supports the published variant rather than every vendor setting.
Reference input and output delivery
Some image workflows require public HTTPS references. Results can be returned as a supported URL, inline image or asynchronous task artifact, depending on the model. Supplier URL retention is not guaranteed; retrieve and store results your application needs.

Questions before you switch
Can I compare every image rate as a price per image?
Only when the rate uses the same output unit and equivalent settings. Keep quality, resolution and image count fixed; inspect the exact billing unit on the model page.
Does Tokely support every image-editing parameter?
No. Supported fields and any required reference inputs are listed per model. Native vendor features outside that contract are not implied.
