description: >-
  Black Forest Labs uses a credits-based pay-per-generation model. Per-image rates vary by
  Flux model: Flux Schnell is free direct from BFL; Flux Pro and Flux 1.1 Pro list at
  ~$0.04/image direct. FLUX.2 pricing is calculated by the published calculator based on
  model variant (flex/pro/max/klein 4B/klein 9B), output dimensions, and input image count.
notes: Reconciled per third-party reviews; FLUX.2 specific per-call price requires the live calculator. Aggregator pricing on Replicate / fal.ai differs.
