How we priced it
The job. Every figure is for the same 2K image. Where a platform can't run exactly that, its closest option is priced and marked.
BudgetPixel figures come live from the billing system that charges for the job (120 credits), converted with each plan's own price and monthly credits. Permanent plan discounts are included; time-limited promotions are shown on the plan table but left out of the comparison, as they are for every other platform.
Other platforms are priced from their own pricing pages and help docs on the date shown, using the cheapest plan that can run Nano Banana Pro: plan price ÷ plan credits × credits per image. Unlimited or promotional windows are listed in the notes, not averaged in. Prices change often; the check date is the guarantee. Spot something out of date? Email support@budgetpixel.com.
