SPECIALIST BUYER GUIDE

What matters for visual creation.

Published facts · no synthetic ranking
01

Different cost units

FLUX.2 Max starts at $0.07 for the first output MP, adds $0.03 per additional MP and $0.03 per reference-input MP. Nano Banana Pro lists $0.134 per 1K/2K image and $0.24 per 4K image (output-only estimates).

02

Workflow fit

FLUX.2 Max focuses on product visualization, reference consistency, layout and grounded visual generation. Nano Banana Pro focuses on precise typography, product mockups and complex image edits.

03

Hidden input charges

Image references and output resolutions affect FLUX charges; Nano Banana input text, image tokens and grounding can add charges. A universal per-image winner is not supported.

04

No invented quality score

These are official product capabilities, not an SXF image benchmark. Reproduce tasks with the same style, resolution and source assets to decide.

DECISION FACTORS

What materially changes the choice.

No synthetic winner score
01

Context capacity

Nano Banana Pro publishes a 65,536-token context; the other model does not publish a comparable context limit.

02

Input modalities

Both list image, text as input types.

03

Direct token cost

These specialist modalities do not have a directly comparable text-token cost. Check model-specific image, video, credit and service-token pricing instead.

04

Output policy

FLUX.2 Max: Not published. Nano Banana Pro: 32,768.

HOW TO DECIDE

Specifications narrow the field. Your workload decides.

Context, modalities and direct token economics are comparable from official sources. Coding quality, latency, reliability and agent success should be measured on your own acceptance tests before production routing.

01

Replay real tasks

Use representative prompts, files, tools and expected outputs from the workload you plan to ship.

02

Measure task cost

Include retries, cached tokens, long-context rules and tool charges—not only headline input price.

03

Track failures

Record hallucinations, tool errors, timeout behavior and human corrections alongside pass rate.

04

Route by task

A portfolio can outperform a one-model policy when different task classes have different cost and capability needs.

INDEPENDENT EVALUATIONS
