Price changes

Recorded automatically whenever a BudgetPixel rate or a verified maker price moves. Newest first.

No price changes recorded yet — the log starts with today's baseline.

Methodology

BudgetPixel prices are read from the same tables the billing system charges from, at each model's default output tier (resolution, quality or target size). Where a model's rate varies by tier, the tiers are listed under its name. Plan discounts, promotions and free daily generations are not applied.

Dollar figures use two published conversion rates: base = 1,000 credits per $1 (any credit pack, no plan bonus); best = 1,100 credits per $1 (credit pack with the largest plan bonus applied (+10%)). Monthly plan credits fall between the two. See pricing.

Maker list prices are the model author's public API price at the tier matching BudgetPixel's default output, with the source page linked and the date verified shown on hover. Where the author publishes no per-unit API price, a named reseller's list price is used and labelled as such. A dash means no public price exists; nothing is estimated. Prices are re-verified when they change upstream; the verification date is the guarantee.

FAQ

How much does it cost to generate an AI image?+

On BudgetPixel, between $0.0100 and $0.300 per image depending on the model, at the base rate of 1,000 credits per US dollar. The cheapest listed model today is FLUX 2 Klein at 10 credits. Makers’ own published API prices for the same models range from $0.0140 to $0.134 per image.

How much does AI video generation cost per second?+

From $0.0040 per second (Wan 2.2 5B Fast) to $0.450 per second (Kling v3.0 4K). Per-second pricing means a 5-second clip costs five times the listed rate; some models add a resolution tier.

How are the US dollar figures calculated?+

Credits are converted at two published rates: the base rate (1,000 credits per $1 on any credit pack with no plan bonus) and the best rate (1,100 per $1 with the largest plan bonus). Subscription plans include monthly credits at rates between the two.

Where do the maker list prices come from?+

Each is the model maker’s public API price at the tier that matches BudgetPixel’s default output for that model, with the source page linked and the date it was verified. Where a maker publishes no per-unit price, a named reseller’s list price is used and labelled. Models with no public price show a dash — nothing is estimated.

Can I reuse this data?+

Yes. The index is published under CC BY 4.0: reuse the JSON or CSV freely, with a link back to this page as attribution. Individual rows have permanent anchors for citation.
