Google's Nano Banana 2.1 costs $0.076 per 4K image
One 4096x4096px image uses 2520 tokens. At $30 per 1,000,000 output tokens, that works out to $0.076 an image. Google is rolling out Nano Banana 2.1 in Google AI Studio, its APIs and Gemini.
The model's description promises better factuality, visual fidelity and multi-turn consistency "at Flash scale." Multi-turn consistency means the picture stays coherent across several rounds of edits. The post that spotted the rollout reads the price differently and guesses that it looks like a Pro model.
The post doesn't give a price for the previous version, so we can't compare the two directly. Is $0.076 a fair price for a 4K image?
