SnapAI itself is free, but there are costs associated with using the OpenAI API. Depending on the model and quality, the cost of a single generation is as follows:
- Low-cost options: Approximately $0.02 for a single icon using the DALL-E 2 model.
- default option: Approximately $0.04 per icon using GPT-Image-1 or DALL-E 3 standard quality.
- High quality options: Using DALL-E 3 HD mode, the single icon is about $0.08.
Cost optimization recommendations::
- Low-cost icons were quickly generated using the DALL-E 2 model for initial testing.
- Multiple variants (e.g., 3-5) are generated with GPT-Image-1 during optimization iterations.
- Switch to DALL-E 3 HD mode to generate high quality icons for final production.
