Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DALL-E API pricing?
DALL-E API pricing is set by OpenAI on a per-image basis. In Managed Mode, we add a 30% markup. With Pro BYOK, use your own OpenAI key at 0% markup. See the pricing table above.
What is the DALL-E 3 cost per image?
DALL-E 3 cost per image depends on resolution and quality settings. The pricing table above shows current rates. With Pro BYOK, you pay OpenAI directly with no ModelGate markup.
Does PII redaction work with DALL-E?
Yes. Our DLP engine scans the text prompt before it reaches DALL-E. This prevents sensitive data from being baked into generated images.
