# AI image cost estimator

Estimate the monthly cost of AI image work from your image count and a per-image price published by the vendor. Prices were read on the vendor pages on 2026-11-13.

Use the tool on the [web page](https://aiimagegen.fyi/tools/ai-image-cost-estimator). It works without JavaScript.

## How to use it

1. Enter images per month.
2. Choose service and price basis.
3. Read the result.

## How it works

Source: Stability AI API pricing, fetched 2026-11-13: https://platform.stability.ai/pricing. The page states 1 credit = $0.01, 25 free credits for new accounts, Stable Image Ultra at 8 credits, Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large at 6.5 credits, Stable Diffusion 3.5 Flash at 2.5 credits, Fast Upscaler at 2 credits, Creative Upscaler at 60 credits and Remove Background at 5 credits per image.

Source: Black Forest Labs pricing, fetched 2026-11-13: https://www.blackforestlabs.ai/pricing. The page lists FLUX.1 [pro] at $0.05 per image, FLUX.1 [dev] at $0.025 per image, FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] at $0.04 per image and FLUX.1 Fill [pro] inpainting at $0.05 per image.

The estimate multiplies images per month by the published per-image price. It ignores subscriptions, free allowances, batching discounts and taxes. It is not financial advice.

Token-priced image APIs such as OpenAI's image models bill per token, not per image, so they are not in this list. OpenAI lists image-model prices on its API pricing page.

## Questions

### Why is my real bill different?

Subscriptions bundle credits, free tiers cover some volume, and some plans add fees for higher resolutions or commercial use. Check the vendor's pricing page for the plan you would actually buy.

### What about subscription tools?

Subscription prices depend on included credits and exports, not a single per-image rate. Compare them by cost per finished image at your volume.
