Google Gemini cost questions

What is the cheapest Google Gemini model?

By output-token price, Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite is currently the cheapest Google Gemini model at $1.5 per 1M output tokens. The cheapest model per token is not always the cheapest per finished task, since a weaker model can need more retries or longer prompts.

How is Google Gemini billed?

Google Gemini is pay-as-you-go and billed per token: you pay for input tokens (your prompt and context) and output tokens (the response) separately, priced per million tokens. There is no monthly base fee for the API itself.

Why is my Google Gemini bill higher than expected?

The per-unit rate is only one of the four numbers that set your bill. The others are how much your app uses Google Gemini, how often, and across how many users. Long prompts, retries, multi-step agents, and uncached repeated context all multiply the rate. PrePrice models that usage from your code so the number is real, not a guess.

Where do these Google Gemini prices come from?

From Google Gemini's official pricing page (ai.google.dev), verified June 14, 2026 and re-checked on a schedule. Pricing changes often, so confirm the live rate before you commit.
