The cost of SnapAI is determined by OpenAI API usage:
- base cost: the tool itself is free, you only pay for OpenAI generation (~$0.02-$0.08 per sheet)
- price factor::
- Model type: DALL-E 2 is the cheapest, DALL-E 3/GPT-Image-1 is more expensive.
- Quality options: HD mode doubles the cost
- Quantity to be generated: batch generation increases total costs
Cost Saving Tips::
- Concepts are first tested with DALL-E 2 during the development phase
- Limit the number of batches generated (
--num-images
(Parameters) - HD mode not used when standard quality meets demand
- Regularly clean the output directory to avoid duplicate generation
Note: API keys need to be kept in a safe place, leakage may result in additional fees.
