Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview pricing
Served by 2 providers from $2.25 to $4.50 per 1M tokens on the standard tier — a 2.0× gap for identical weights.
A reasoning model — the headline price is not the whole bill
This model thinks before it answers, and those thinking tokens are billed at the output rate while never appearing in the response. A request can therefore cost several times what the per-1M figure suggests, and the multiplier depends on your prompts rather than on anything we can publish. Compare it against other reasoning models — the alternatives below are ordered to put those first.

Quality not measured yet
We measure models on request rather than pre-scoring the whole catalog, so this one has no score yet. Absence of a score is not a low score.
At 1M requests/month (1500 in / 500 out tokens), moving from Google (Gemini API) to Google (Gemini API) saves about $4,500/month.

Every provider and service tier
Standard on-demand rows first, cheapest of each group first. Tiers are not interchangeable — see the note below the table.
| Provider | In /1M | Out /1M | Blended /1M | Tier | Region | Source |

| Google (Gemini API) cheapest standard | $1.00 | $6.00 | $2.25 | standard | — | third_party |

Where you can buy it
Priced per unit of output, which is how generation models are sold. There is no per-token rate to quote for this model, so we do not invent one.

Before you switch
Identical weights do not guarantee identical output. Check that the cheaper host serves the model at full precision rather than a quantised copy, that its context window matches what you need, and that its rate limits carry your peak traffic. A cheaper host that cannot take your throughput is not cheaper — it is an outage.
Move to Google (Gemini API) without a rewrite
VernaOne fronts every provider on this page with one API, so switching host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

How much does Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview cost?
The cheapest standard-tier provider is Google (Gemini API) at $2.25 per 1M tokens blended (3:1 input:output). The dearest is Google (Gemini API) at $4.50 — a 2.0× difference for the same weights. Prices change often; verify with the provider before budgeting.
Which provider is best for Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview?
Cheapest is not automatically best. Compare quantisation (a lossy copy of the weights changes output), the context window each host actually serves, and rate limits. Where a provider serves less context than the model's native window we flag it in the table above.
Can I switch providers for Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview without changing code?
Yes, if you route through an abstraction. VernaOne exposes one API across every provider listed here, so switching host is a config change and you keep automatic fallback if the new one degrades.
