Frequently Asked Questions
Text-to-image API costs are typically calculated based on image resolution (dimensions) and quantity. Most providers charge per image generated, with pricing tiers based on:
- Image dimensions (higher resolution = higher cost)
- Model quality (premium models cost more than standard ones)
Our text-to-image generation API pricing database is monitored and updated regularly. We track official pricing pages, API documentation, and company announcements to try to ensure accuracy across all models from OpenAI, Stability AI, and others. If you notice any discrepancies, please feel free to send us a message to test@test.de.
The optimal image size depends on your specific use case. While larger dimensions (1024x1024 or higher) cost more, they provide better quality for professional applications. For thumbnails, social media, or draft concepts, smaller sizes (512x512) can be more economical. Our calculator helps you compare costs across different dimensions and providers to maximize your budget.
Yes, several strategies can optimize your image generation costs:
- Batch processing: Generate multiple images in a single API call when possible
- Right-sizing: Choose appropriate dimensions for your use case rather than always using maximum resolution
- Model selection: Use standard models for drafts and premium models only for final outputs
- Prompt engineering: Create effective prompts to reduce the need for multiple generations
- Caching: Store and reuse common image outputs where applicable
While we strive to maintain accurate pricing information across all text-to-image providers, the rapid evolution of AI services means occasional discrepancies may occur. If you spot any errors in our pricing data or calculations, please contact us at test@test.de. We appreciate user feedback as it helps us maintain the most reliable comparison tool possible. However, we recommend that all users conduct their own due diligence and verify current pricing with the official provider documentation before making final decisions for production systems or budget-critical applications.
Most text-to-image APIs offer different quality tiers or settings that directly impact pricing. Higher quality settings typically increase the number of inference steps or use more advanced diffusion techniques, resulting in better images but at higher costs. Some providers like OpenAI (DALL-E) and Stability AI offer explicit quality parameters that users can adjust to balance cost versus image quality. Our calculator displays options across quality tiers to help you make informed decisions.
