It **doesn't have a Free quota**, but is billed by the second, so you only pay for what you use, making it cheaper for occasional use than a monthly subscription — generating 100 FLUX Dev images costs around US$2.5. What you really need to pay attention to is "private models": dedicated hardware will **charge you for idle waiting time**, not just actual computation.

What Sets Us Apart
Compared to Midjourney (starting at US$10/month), if you generate less than 400 images per month, pay-per-image is more cost-effective here; however, it lacks the parameter tuning community and interface of Midjourney.
Best for: Developers who want to run custom workflows or develop non-image models
API pay-as-you-go (usage-based)
Only the actual processing time is calculated. GPU per-second rate: CPU Small US$0.000025 (US$0.09/hour), CPU US$0.0001 (US$0.36/hour), T4 US$0.000225 (US$0.81/hour), L40S US$0.000975 (US$3.51/hour), A100 80GB US$0.0014 (US$5.04/hour), H100 US$0.001525 (US$5.49/hour) (Checked on 2026-07-31 from the official website)
Which Model
Any public model, customizable GPU level
Usage Quota

L40S US$3.51/hour
A100 80GB US$5.04/hour
H100 US$5.49/hour
Not Included
Idle time is free (only for public models; private models are charged even when idle)
What Sets Us Apart
It saves the hassle of setting up the environment compared to renting a cloud GPU, but the unit price is higher. For long-term large-scale operations, self-deployment is still more cost-effective.
Dedicated instances are billed based on "total uptime", including startup and idle waiting time, not just actual computation time; fine-tuned models with fast startup are exceptions, only actual processing time is counted (Checked 2026-07-31 from official website)
Long-form writing and document quality are its strengths, with the paid version including the Claude Code engineering tool
FreeThe quota is calculated based on a rolling 5-hour usage window (not simply resetting at a fixed number every day), and general conversations can be used for around 10-20 times, excluding Claude Code.
Gemini's image generation model went viral for its consistency in character depiction and explosive editing capabilities
FreeThe free version of Gemini includes a small amount of Nano Banana generation quota; paid plans increase the quota limit based on the level (official website confirmed on 2026-07-30 that the official name is "Nano Banana Pro", with a tiered system of Plus = limited access, Pro = more access, and Ultra = higher or highest access, but the official website does not disclose the specific quota limit, only estimated by third-party sources, not officially confirmed).
Model aggregation platform: It integrates thousands of open-source models (FLUX, Stable Diffusion, video and voice models) into a unified API, eliminating the need to prepare a graphics card. Unlike OpenRouter, it focuses on generating media such as images, videos, and voices, while OpenRouter focuses on text-based dialogue models. The reason for marking free_tier as false: The official pricing page does not provide any information on a free tier, and if there is a quota gift upon registration, it needs to be checked and corrected separately.
