Reading the cells
- Dates. For example Gemini 4 Carbon and Argon are $2.00 input and $10.00 output through 30 November 2026, and $4.00 and $20.00 from 1 December 2026. The cost comparison on the home page applies the date of your device.
- Prompt size. Gemini 2.5 Pro has a higher price for prompts above 200k tokens. The comparison uses the lower price.
- Kinds of input. Some cells list a separate price for audio or video. The comparison uses the text price.
- Other tabs. The page also has Batch and Flex prices and free tier terms: this site does not include them.
- Not listed here. Image, audio, speech, live and embedding models are on the page too.
