How pricing works

Questions
Choosing and pricing FLUX.2
Why can Klein 4B cost only 0.8 credits?
Its active Omnipix price is calculated per image megapixel. The number shown on this page comes from the same live pricing evaluator used before generation, not from editorial copy.
Does editing also cost 0.8 credits?
Not necessarily. Reference editing processes both the uploaded images and the output, so its price depends on their actual megapixel counts. The workspace calculates the exact total before you start.
Which FLUX.2 model should I start with?
Start with Klein 4B for exploration and volume. Move to Klein 9B for more fast detail, Pro for general production, Flex for typography and tunable control, or Max for the highest-end final pass.
Are these official Black Forest Labs examples?
No. The examples on this landing were generated and reviewed in Omnipix. They are shown with the model variant used, and the comparison row uses the same prompt for all five variants.
