It should be noted for some reason OpenAI prices GPT-4o-mini image requests at the same price as GPT-4o. I have a similar library but we found OpenAI has subtle OCR inconsistencies with tables (numbers will be inaccurate). Gemini Flash, for all its faults, seems to do really well as a replacement while being significantly cheaper.

Here’s our pricing comparison:

*Gemini Pro* - $0.66 per 1k image inputs (batch) - $1.88 per text output (batch API, 1k tokens) - 395 pages per dollar

*Gemini Flash* - $0.066 per 1k images (batch) - $0.53 per text output (batch API, 1k tokens) - 1693 pages per dollar

*GPT-4o* - $1.91 per 1k images (batch) - $3.75 per text output (batch API, 1k tokens) - 177 pages per dollar

*GPT-4o-mini* - $1.91 per 1k images (batch) - $0.30 per text output (batch API, 1k tokens) - 452 pages per dollar
