Nano Banana 2 pricing, credits, and quote rules

Open the canonical Nano Banana 2 model page and check the model label in the generator summary. Alias URLs redirect to that page rather than maintaining separate copies. This consolidates ranking signals and also prevents an old Nano Banana 2.0 bookmark from showing a different price or set of controls.

When comparing variants, create a written test with the same prompt, references, target frame, and acceptance criteria. Record the protected quote and attempts to approval. A raw minimum figure does not show whether one model needs more retries or manual repair for the actual deliverable.

The current production controls expose supported resolution choices and can price them differently. Use a setting that matches the review or delivery stage. A concept pass and a final campaign asset do not need to consume the same resources, and a higher setting does not compensate for a weak prompt or incorrect source image.

After selecting all controls, request the quote and verify its expiration and parameter summary. If the user changes a price-relevant field, the workflow requests a fresh quote. This keeps the server-calculated cost attached to the task that will actually be submitted.

Estimate a small controlled set of attempts and decide what each one will test. The first might prove composition, the second reference fidelity, and the third final polish. Avoid buying variation without a question. A clear hypothesis lets the team stop when the image meets the acceptance list.

Use the private Library to compare saved results and retain the model, parameters, and final prompt with the approved asset. The effective cost is the total credit and review effort required for one usable image, not the lowest single quote encountered during browsing.

CreateForge reserves the quoted credits at submission. A provider success proceeds through result storage and settlement, while a clear failure releases the reservation. A submission with an uncertain external state is reconciled instead of being retried automatically, protecting against duplicate provider jobs.

One-time and subscription credits follow the published account rules, and billing disputes are handled through ledger entries rather than silent balance edits. The pricing guide explains generation cost; the Pricing, Terms, and Refund pages govern offers, expiration, cancellation, and refund conditions.

Create three estimates instead of one optimistic number. The best case is one accepted output, the working case includes a normal revision allowance, and the stress case includes prompt repair or a model comparison. Use the protected quote for the selected mode and resolution in each calculation. This range is more useful for project approval than multiplying the page minimum, because it makes the uncertainty of creative iteration visible before credits are spent.

For a batch, validate one representative item before submitting every variation. Confirm reference quality, preservation rules, aspect ratio, output format, and the review standard on that item. Then carry the approved structure into the remaining requests while changing only the required product, subject, or message. Batch discipline prevents one hidden prompt problem from becoming many paid attempts and gives reviewers a consistent basis for accepting or rejecting each asset.

After delivery, compare forecast and actual credits together with repair time. A budget miss may come from retries, an unnecessary resolution, conflicting references, or late changes in the brief. Record the cause instead of blaming the per-image quote alone. The next project can then reserve the right amount of credits, choose a better test item, and decide earlier whether Nano Banana 2 or another production model fits the constraints.

Divide the project budget into exploration, approved direction, and contingency rather than giving every operator an undifferentiated total. The structure protects final delivery credits from early experimentation and makes it clear when a creative direction has consumed more attempts than planned.

Use the same naming and review fields across the batch: model, mode, resolution, quote, attempt, decision, and rejection reason. Consistent records make duplicate work visible and help a reviewer compare like with like. They also provide better evidence for changing the next estimate than a folder containing only final images.
