Save up to 68.75% on 4K images! Per-request billing doesn’t differentiate by resolution — 4K costs the same as 1K, so higher resolution means better value.
Token-based costs vary with input/output image tokens. These are estimates. Token-based billing is better for 1-2K images; per-request billing is more cost-effective for 4K.
Price Adjustment Notice: Due to resource scarcity and rising traffic costs, Nano Banana 2 token-based pricing will be adjusted on April 20, 2026 (UTC+8).

These are estimates based on actual input/output tokens. The increase is modest due to the low base. Stack with top-up bonuses (up to 20%) for even lower costs.
When creating a token, the “Billing model” setting determines the billing method. Choose based on your primary use case:
Model
Use Case
Recommended Token Type
Nano Banana Pro
Mixed 1-4K usage
Token-based (priority)
Nano Banana Pro
4K only
Per-request
Nano Banana 2
Mixed 0.5K-4K usage
Token-based (priority)
Nano Banana 2
4K only
Per-request
Simple rule: If you mainly generate 4K images, choose per-request billing (same price regardless of resolution). For mixed resolution usage, token-based billing saves more on lower resolutions.
