Model Settings – OpenAI and Gemini Models, Pricing and Best Use Cases

Model settings control how PageFix AI generates product descriptions, SEO content, and category text. Choosing the right model affects content quality, generation speed, and API cost.

PageFix AI supports OpenAI and Google Gemini models. Each provider offers different levels of quality, speed, and pricing.

What Are Model Settings?

Model settings define which AI provider and model is used for content generation. They directly affect:

• Content quality
• Generation speed
• API cost
• Bulk processing performance

OpenAI Models and Pricing

OpenAI models are known for high-quality and consistent text generation. They are recommended for product descriptions and SEO-focused content.

• High-quality models: ~ $2 – $10 / 1M tokens input, $8 – $16 output
• Balanced models: ~ $0.15 – $1.50 / 1M tokens
• Budget models: ~ $0.10 – $0.40 / 1M tokens

OpenAI Cost Example

A typical product description contains around 400–700 tokens.

• 100 products: ~ $0.50 – $3
• 1000 products: ~ $5 – $30

OpenAI costs more, but usually produces more natural and consistent text.

When to Use OpenAI

• Product descriptions

Google Gemini Models and Pricing

Gemini models are faster and usually more cost-efficient. They are ideal for bulk content generation and large catalogs.

• Gemini Flash (budget): ~ $0.10 – $0.40 / 1M tokens
• Gemini Pro: ~ $1 – $2 input / $8 – $12 output per 1M tokens

Gemini Cost Example

A typical product description contains around 400–700 tokens.

• 100 products: ~ $0.01 – $0.40
• 1000 products: ~ $0.10 – $4

This makes Gemini very cost-efficient for bulk workflows.

When to Use Gemini
