What fal publishes

fal's GPT Image 2 page (read 2026-10-07) lists 1024 x 1024 at $0.006 low, $0.053 medium and $0.211 high. For 1024 x 1536 it lists $0.005, $0.042 and $0.165. The repo's list rates for square, portrait and landscape agree with those figures, so the square size is used below. Other sizes cost less or more; check the page for yours.

A thousand square images

Per-image sell price is ceil(list x 1.25). The 1,000-image columns multiply by 1,000, and the last column adds the platform fee.

Reading the result

The premium over fal is the x1.25 and then the fee, about 32% in total. High quality is 35 times the price of low (211,000 / 6,000), so quality is the bigger lever. For thumbnails or drafts, low or medium usually shows whether a prompt works before you spend on high. Review images yourself before choosing a tier; this post does not rate quality.

Doing the same for your own mix

Multiply your count of each quality by its sell price, sum, then add 5.5%. The Images API docs list the model ids and options. If you run a batch, check your balance first; a job whose price plus fee exceeds it is refused with a 402 and nothing is charged.
