Definition

The lowest list price, in USD per generated image, across providers' priced image-generation SKUs.

Inclusion rule

category media with spec.modality image; priced per image (per_image) or per 1,000 images (per_1k_images, divided by 1000); price > 0 and excluding VAT; marketplace rows skipped; per provider the cheapest SKU, then the minimum across providers. Not computed below 3 verified providers: this is the cheapest listed model, which can be a small or low-resolution one, so read it as a floor on price, not on quality. EUR prices convert at the day's ECB rate.

When it cannot be computed: Not computed: that day shows no number and states the reason; the last full value stays shown with its date. A source whose last confirmed snapshot is older than 3x its cadence (6h sources 18 h, 12h sources 36 h, 1d sources 72 h) drops out; below minimum coverage the series is not computed and says 'not verified: <source> stale since <date>'.

Minimum coverage: 3 providers. Below that the series is not computed and says so instead of showing a number.

Sources feeding it

media price pages and model catalogues (page recipes)

Deliberately excluded

• marketplace asks
• free tiers (price 0)
• subscription and credit-pack prices without a per-unit price

What can break it

• model tiers differ by resolution, duration and quality and are not normalized
• promotional or trial pricing
• a provider renaming or retiring a model
• a provider dropping out changes the sample
