How Much Does Nano Banana Cost? Nano Banana 2 + Pro Pricing on FlyAIgh (2026)

Published July 15, 20267 min read

Nano Banana pricing in plain numbers: Nano Banana 2 runs 4–8 credits (≈$0.12–$0.24) and Nano Banana Pro 8–13 credits (≈$0.24–$0.39) per image, all on one $11.99/month FlyAIgh wallet at about 3¢ a credit. Here is exactly what your $11.99 buys.

If you are asking how much Nano Banana costs, the honest answer is a small table, not a single number — because Nano Banana is billed per image by quality tier (1K / 2K / 4K), and there are two models: the value Nano Banana 2 and the higher-end Nano Banana Pro. The good news is that on FlyAIgh both run out of one shared credit wallet that starts at $11.99/month for 400 credits — about 3¢ per credit — with no separate Nano Banana subscription and no per-image surcharge.

This guide gives you the exact per-image credit and dollar costs for every Nano Banana tier, shows how many images $11.99 actually buys, and explains when the cheaper Nano Banana 2 is enough versus when Pro earns its higher price. Every dollar figure uses the Basic rate of $0.030/credit, so on annual billing or a higher tier you pay less than what is shown.

The short answer

  • Nano Banana 2 — 4 credits (≈$0.12) at 1K, 7 credits (≈$0.21) at 2K, 8 credits (≈$0.24) at 4K.
  • Nano Banana Pro — 8 credits (≈$0.24) at 1K, 9 credits (≈$0.27) at 2K (the default), 13 credits (≈$0.39) at 4K.
  • One wallet, no floor per model. Both draw from the same $11.99 Basic balance as every other model — pay only for images you generate.

That is the whole pricing model. The rest of this guide is detail: the per-credit ladder, how many images you get, and which Nano Banana to reach for.

One $11.99 membership, one shared wallet

On FlyAIgh you buy credits once into a single balance, then spend them on whatever fits the job. Open the generator, pick Nano Banana, choose a quality tier, and the same wallet pays for it. The full lineup is on the models page; this guide focuses on the two Nano Banana models from Google.

  • No model paywall. Both Nano Banana models run on the $11.99 Basic plan — higher tiers only add credits at a cheaper rate, they don't unlock models.
  • No idle Nano Banana subscription. Skip it for a month and you've lost nothing; the budget was never earmarked to it.
  • One shared library and one wallet. Nano Banana images land in the same place as your videos and other image models, all paid from the same balance.

What a credit actually costs

The per-image credit counts below are fixed; the dollar value of a credit falls as you move up tiers or pay annually. Here is the exact ladder:

  • Basic — $11.99/mo, 400 credits → ~$0.030 per credit (annual: $9.59/mo-equiv → ~$0.024)
  • Basic Plus — $19.99/mo, 720 credits → ~$0.0278 per credit (annual: $15.99 → ~$0.0222)
  • Basic Max — $31.99/mo, 1,200 credits → ~$0.0267 per credit (annual: $25.59 → ~$0.0213)
  • Pro — $47.99/mo, 2,000 credits → ~$0.0240 per credit (annual: $38.39 → ~$0.0192)
  • ULTRA — $79.99/mo, 3,600 credits → ~$0.0222 per credit (annual: $63.99 → ~$0.0178)
The headline number for this guide is Basic monthly ≈ $0.030 per credit ($11.99 ÷ 400). It only gets cheaper from there — the floor is about $0.0178 per credit on ULTRA annual. Every Nano Banana dollar figure below uses the Basic $0.030 rate, so on any higher tier or on annual billing you pay less than what's shown.

Nano Banana per-image cost (1K / 2K / 4K)

Nano Banana is billed per image by quality tier — 1K (standard), 2K (HD) and 4K (ultra). Below is each model at every tier, with credits and the dollar cost at the Basic rate of $0.030/credit.

Nano Banana 2 — the value tier, text-to-image:

  • 1K (standard) = 4 credits ≈ $0.12
  • 2K (HD) = 7 credits ≈ $0.21
  • 4K (ultra) = 8 credits ≈ $0.24

Nano Banana Pro — stronger identity preservation, image-to-image editing, 4K (default tier is 2K):

  • 1K (standard) = 8 credits ≈ $0.24
  • 2K (HD, default) = 9 credits ≈ $0.27
  • 4K (ultra) = 13 credits ≈ $0.39

For context, since they share the same wallet, here are a few neighbouring image models at the Basic rate: Qwen Image 2.0 from 2 credits (≈$0.06) at 1K, Kling Image 3.0 at 5 credits (≈$0.15) for 2K, and Midjourney v7 at a flat 6 credits (≈$0.18) across its speed tiers. Nano Banana 2 sits at the value end; Nano Banana Pro is one of the higher-end options.

Don't memorize a single "cost per Nano Banana image" — it changes with the quality tier and with which of the two models you pick. Nano Banana 2 alone spans 4 → 7 → 8 credits from 1K to 4K, and Nano Banana Pro jumps to 13 credits at 4K. Always check the credit cost shown on the generate screen before you commit.

How many Nano Banana images for $11.99

400 credits, divided by the per-image cost above (whole images only):

  • Nano Banana 2 — 1K (4 cr) → 100 images; 2K (7 cr) → 57 images; 4K (8 cr) → 50 images
  • Nano Banana Pro — 1K (8 cr) → 50 images; 2K default (9 cr) → 44 images; 4K (13 cr) → 30 images

Because it's one wallet, you don't have to spend all 400 on Nano Banana — a realistic month might be a stack of Nano Banana 2 drafts at 1K, a handful of Nano Banana Pro 4K hero images, and some video clips, all out of the same balance. And every credit goes further on a higher tier or on annual billing.

Nano Banana 2 vs Nano Banana Pro: which to pay for

The price gap is real, so spend it deliberately:

  • Use Nano Banana 2 for everyday text-to-image, drafts, volume work and anywhere 1K/2K is fine. At 4 credits (1K) it is the cheaper everyday choice, and even 4K is only 8 credits.
  • Use Nano Banana Pro when you need its stronger identity preservation, image-to-image editing, or genuine 4K detail. Its 2K default is 9 credits — just one credit over 1K — so if you're paying for Pro at all, stay at 2K; the real jump is 4K at 13 credits.

A common pattern: draft and iterate on Nano Banana 2, then re-run the keeper once on Nano Banana Pro when you need editability or final-quality detail — so you pay the Pro price once, not on every attempt. If you're generating consistent characters across many images, see the character consistency guide — Nano Banana Pro's reference handling is a big part of that workflow.

How to stretch credits further

  1. Draft cheap, finish dear. Iterate on Nano Banana 2 at 1K (4 credits) until the composition is right, then re-run the keeper once at 4K or on Nano Banana Pro. You pay the higher price exactly once instead of on every failed attempt.
  2. Default to the tier you ship at. If your output lives on the web, 1K or 2K is usually plenty — 4K on Nano Banana 2 doubles the 1K cost (4 → 8 credits), and Nano Banana Pro 4K is 13 credits. Reserve 4K for images that genuinely ship in 4K.
  3. Pick the cheapest model that does the job. One wallet means you can reach for Qwen Image 2.0 (2 credits at 1K) for rough drafts and save Nano Banana Pro for the shots that need it — instead of paying a premium model for everything.
  4. On Pro, don't bother dropping to 1K. Nano Banana Pro's 1K is 8 credits and its 2K default is 9 — one credit for a big resolution step. The tier that actually costs is 4K at 13 credits; reserve it for finals.
  5. Move up a tier only when volume justifies it. If you reliably spend 400 credits a month, Basic Plus or Pro lowers your per-credit price; if you don't, Basic keeps the floor tiny.

The honest fine print

  • Nano Banana is per-image, by quality tier. The credit cost changes with resolution: Nano Banana 2 is 4 / 7 / 8 credits for 1K / 2K / 4K; Nano Banana Pro is 8 / 9 / 13. There is no flat "one price per image."
  • Pro's low tiers sit close together. 1K is 8 credits and 2K is 9 on Pro — the real step is 4K at 13 credits. On Nano Banana 2 the 1K→2K step is bigger (4 → 7).
  • Per-credit price varies by tier. Every dollar figure here uses Basic monthly ($0.030/credit); annual and higher tiers are cheaper (down to ~$0.0178). We never quote a lower per-credit rate while saying "$11.99."
  • We don't quote competitor prices. Whether Nano Banana is cheaper here than a direct plan depends on that plan's own floor and per-image price — compare them against these numbers yourself. The structural advantage is one floor and one shared wallet instead of a separate subscription per model.
  • The free tier has 0 credits — it's for browsing, not generating. To actually create with Nano Banana, you start on Basic at $11.99.

That's the whole pitch: Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro on one membership from $11.99/month, one wallet at roughly 3¢ a credit, and the exact per-image cost — 4 to 13 credits — shown on screen before you commit. If you also generate video, the same wallet covers it; see our cheapest AI video generator guide. Open the generator to see your Nano Banana cost in credits before spending a single one.

FAQ

How much does Nano Banana cost on FlyAIgh?

Nano Banana is billed per image by quality tier, out of one shared credit wallet. On the Basic plan ($11.99/month, 400 credits ≈ $0.030 per credit), Nano Banana 2 costs 4 credits (≈$0.12) at 1K, 7 credits (≈$0.21) at 2K and 8 credits (≈$0.24) at 4K. Nano Banana Pro costs 8 credits (≈$0.24) at 1K, 9 credits (≈$0.27) at 2K and 13 credits (≈$0.39) at 4K. There is no per-image surcharge and no separate Nano Banana subscription — the same wallet also pays for every other model. Annual billing and higher tiers make each of those credits cheaper, so you pay less than the figures shown.

How many Nano Banana images can I make for $11.99?

The Basic plan gives you 400 credits. At 2K that is about 57 Nano Banana 2 images (7 credits each) or 44 Nano Banana Pro images (its 2K default, 9 credits each). If you drop to 1K, Nano Banana 2 stretches to 100 images (4 credits) and Nano Banana Pro to 50 (8 credits). At 4K it is 50 Nano Banana 2 images (8 credits) or about 30 Nano Banana Pro images (13 credits). Because it is one wallet, a real month is usually a mix of tiers rather than a single number.

Is Nano Banana cheaper here than buying it directly?

We won't quote a competitor price we can't verify for you, so here is the honest structural answer. FlyAIgh charges no per-vendor floor and no separate Nano Banana subscription: you buy credits once into a single wallet and Nano Banana draws from the same balance as every other model, at a published per-credit rate (about $0.030 on Basic, dropping toward $0.0178 on ULTRA annual). You only ever pay for images you actually generate — 4 to 13 credits each depending on model and resolution — with no monthly minimum earmarked to Nano Banana specifically. Whether that beats a direct plan depends on the direct plan's own floor and per-image price, which you should check against these numbers.

What is the difference in cost between Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro?

Nano Banana 2 is the value tier: 4 / 7 / 8 credits (≈$0.12 / $0.21 / $0.24) for 1K / 2K / 4K. Nano Banana Pro costs more because the upstream model is pricier: 8 credits (≈$0.24) at 1K, 9 credits (≈$0.27) at 2K, and 13 credits (≈$0.39) at 4K. At the 2K tier the gap is 9 vs 7 credits; at 1K it is 8 vs 4, a full 2× gap. Pay for Pro when you need its stronger identity preservation, image-to-image editing or 4K detail; otherwise Nano Banana 2 is the cheaper everyday choice.

Does choosing 4K cost more credits than 1K on Nano Banana?

Yes. Nano Banana is priced by quality tier, so resolution changes the credit cost. Nano Banana 2 goes 4 credits (1K) → 7 (2K) → 8 (4K). Nano Banana Pro goes 8 credits (1K) → 9 (2K) → 13 (4K). The generate screen shows the exact credit cost for your selected tier before you commit, so you always see the price first.

Is Nano Banana the cheapest image model on FlyAIgh?

Not always — it depends on the tier you pick, and the same wallet covers other image models too. Nano Banana 2 at 1K (4 credits ≈ $0.12) is competitive, but Qwen Image 2.0 starts lower at 2 credits (≈$0.06) for 1K, and Midjourney v7 is a flat 6 credits (≈$0.18) at every speed. Nano Banana Pro (8–13 credits) is one of the higher-end image options, priced for identity preservation, editing and 4K. The point of the shared wallet is that you can pick the cheapest model that does the job for each image, rather than being locked into one.
