AI Image Costs

What one usable AI image costs, from each vendor's own price page.

Leonardo AI pricing: plans, tokens and what an image costs

Quick answer

Leonardo.Ai's individual plans are Free ($0, 150 fast tokens a day), Essential ($12 a month, 8,500 fast tokens), Premium ($30, 25,000) and Ultimate ($60, 60,000), shown ex. tax with monthly billing. Yearly billing is "up to 20% off". Leonardo does not publish a fixed number of tokens per image, so a dollar cost per image can't be worked out from its pricing page. Checked November 9, 2026 against Leonardo's pricing page.

How much does one Leonardo image cost?

Not published. Leonardo's pricing FAQ says the token cost "adjusts based on the complexity and computational requirements of the task" and that "a single token doesn't correspond to a specific image size or a specific action." Without a published tokens-per-image figure, this site leaves the per-image cell blank rather than estimate it.

What can be worked out is the price per token: $12 / 8,500 tokens is about $1.41 per 1,000 fast tokens on Essential, $1.20 on Premium and $1.00 on Ultimate. To find your cost per image, note the token cost shown in the app for your model and settings, then multiply.

Do Leonardo tokens roll over?

On paid plans, unused fast tokens go to a rollover bank, capped at the amounts above. Top-up tokens never expire, are used after rollover and fast tokens, and can only be used while subscribed, per Leonardo's FAQ.

Leonardo API

Leonardo lists an API "Pay as you go" option on the same page, with "API credit doesn't expire". Per-call image rates were not on the pricing page as read November 9, 2026, so none are listed here.

Leonardo vs Midjourney on price

Midjourney publishes enough to work out about $0.0125 per image on Basic (see Midjourney pricing). Leonardo doesn't publish tokens per image, so the two can't be compared per image from the vendors' own pages alone. At plan level, the entry paid plans are $10 (Midjourney Basic) and $12 (Leonardo Essential) a month on monthly billing.
