The rates that matter
3.8 Flash Standard intro
That is the 3.8 Flash row on the price table. Per million tokens. Output includes thinking tokens. Through 31 Dec 2026.
From 1 Jan 2027
Intro ends. Same list as 3.6 Flash today — and the two already share the intro rate.
Batch / Flex
Official 3.8 Flash Batch and Flex are half of Standard during intro. Priority intro is $1.35 / $6.75.
Context cache
3.8 Flash intro $0.075 per million, plus $0.50 / million / hour storage. Both double in 2027.
This page is only the bill
Specs live on /gemini-3-7-flash-guide. Here we only read the gemini-3.8-flash table on Google's pricing page — gemini-3.7-flash was removed from that table when it was deprecated on 2026-10-08. Free tier is free of charge; the numbers below are Paid. Search / Maps grounding is separate: 5,000 free queries a month, then $14 / 1,000.
Two easy mistakes
First: when 3.7 shipped, Google moved 3.6 Flash onto the same intro rate. “3.7 is cheaper” is false; the gap is capability. Second: output price includes thinking tokens. High thinking hits the output line. Third-party “50% off” posts often mix Vertex promos with this table. We use the Developer API table only.

Confirmed vs treat carefully
Confirmed
From 2026-10-08 gemini-3.7-flash is deprecated and replaced by gemini-3.8-flash; API requests route to 3.8 Flash, which is the row now on Google's price table. Standard intro $0.75 / $3.75 through 31 Dec 2026. Batch/Flex half. Priority $1.35 / $6.75. Cache $0.075 + $0.50/million/hour storage. From Google's pricing page, checked 21 Oct 2026.
Treat carefully
Do not treat OpenRouter or Vertex promos as the official table. Do not compare today’s 3.7 to 3.6’s old $1.50 / $7.50 launch rate. All figures on this page come from Google's official table; QCode does not currently offer the Gemini series.
Who to compare against
Stay on 3.6
Intro list price is the same. Stay if the workflow is only validated on 3.6, not yet on 3.8.
Budget for 3.8 (was 3.7)
3.7 requests are now served by 3.8 Flash. If the capability jump pays for the call, budget on it, and model 2027 as a double — do not annualize the intro rate.
How to estimate a call
Input at $0.75/million, output (including thinking) at $3.75/million. Cacheable prefixes at $0.075. Long agent loops are output- and thinking-heavy. Batch if you can wait.
On QCode
QCode does not currently offer the Gemini series; please use Claude, GPT or Chinese models (e.g. claude-sonnet-5-5, gpt-6.1-sol, glm-5.3). The figures on this page are Google's official price table, not QCode prices.

Price Gemini from Google's table; on QCode, use Claude, GPT or Chinese models
QCode does not currently offer the Gemini series; please use Claude, GPT or Chinese models. Google's intro price has an end date. Want to try a newer model such as Claude or GPT for a few days without a monthly plan? Users on a personal plan buy a booster pack when the day's quota is short; without a plan, buy a Pay-as-you-go Pack from $4 for a one-time quota you use within 7 days (top-ups start at $5).
