This is crazy cheap!
1000 images
Instead of using the CPU per image, you use a GPU provider at an hourly rate. example:
Replicate (stability-ai/sdxl): ~$3.60 for 1,000 images (≈$0.0036 per image).
RunPod A6000: ~$0.54 for 1,000 images using (stability-ai/sdxl):
(assumes ~4 sec/image; A6000 at $0.49/hr → 4,000 sec ≈ 1.11 hr).
Here’s the DALL·E 3 cost for 1,000 images via the OpenAI API:
+----------+-----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
Size | Price per image (USD) | Cost for 1000 images (USD) |
+----------+-----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
| Standard | 1024x1024 0.04 $ 40
| Standard | 1024x1792 0.08 $ 80
| Standard | 1792x1024 0.08 $ 80
| HD | 1024x1024 0.08 $ 80
| HD | 1024x1792 0.12 $ 120
| HD | 1792x1024 0.12 $120

Same image generator, different processing.
Ask chatGPT to do a price comparison for any image generator
In the n8n flow, create a "start RunPod" and a "stop RunPod" as you are being billed for "time".
