GPT Image 2 API pricing by provider
Compare GPT Image 2 API providers by image size, quality, output count, route, first-party source, and per-image price.
Model-level provider comparison
GPT Image 2 price ranking status
Current answer: No current cheapest provider is published. Accepted evidence exists, but it does not yet form a named, like-for-like comparison group.

Why there is no winner
No reviewed comparison scope exists for this model yet. Accepted evidence can still be inspected below, but APIDir will not sort unlike offers or infer a cheapest provider.

Checked evidence, not a ranking: fresh rows were checked against the linked first-party source on the shown date. APIDir does not name a cheapest provider unless exact configurations and units match. Recheck before purchasing.

Decision guide
How to compare GPT Image 2 API providers
GPT Image 2 supports generation and editing, but its price depends on quality, size, and provider route. APIDir keeps a medium 1024×1024 row separate from a provider-default row. A default per-image price is not assumed to mean medium square output without explicit documentation.
For production budgeting, choose generation or edit mode, quality, dimensions, number of outputs, reference-image count, and format before comparing. Include moderation failures, retries, storage, egress, and human review in total cost, especially for text-heavy or brand-sensitive assets.
What changes the GPT Image 2 API cost
- Low, medium, or high quality; image dimensions; and number of outputs
- Generation versus editing, reference images, input processing, and provider defaults
- Moderation, retries, storage, delivery, and manual quality-control work
Integration checks before production
- Make quality, dimensions, output count, and mode explicit in every request
- Reject unsupported combinations before reaching the provider
- Save the charged configuration, provider request ID, and output metadata for reconciliation
Workloads this comparison can inform
Product and campaign images
Compare medium square outputs only when all providers document that exact scope.
Image editing
Verify whether input images or editing use a different meter from text-to-image generation.
Typography and UI mockups
Budget for human verification; the API price does not guarantee usable text or layout.
How to read the price result
Three provider routes have accepted evidence, but one row keeps provider-default settings while two name medium 1024×1024 output. APIDir therefore shows the market table without manufacturing a universal winner.

Use this evidence safely
A recorded price is not a complete production quote. Open the source, reproduce the exact configuration, and include retries, failed work, storage, egress, support, rate limits, and downstream processing in total cost.
Questions developers ask
What makes two GPT Image offers comparable?
The model version, generation mode, tier, resolution, duration, audio setting, region, and billing unit must match.
Does APIDir name a cheapest provider on this page?
Only when at least three explicitly reviewed provider offers are fresh, publication-permitted, and within the same published comparison scope. Stale or mismatched evidence cannot support that claim.
How should I confirm a budget?
Open the linked provider source, verify the configuration, then calculate your own successful and failed workload volume.
