Amazon Nova Pro vs Gemini 2.0 Flash: Summary
When comparing Amazon Nova Pro and Gemini 2.0 Flash for API cost, the right choice depends on your workload's token profile, required features, and tolerance for latency. Gemini 2.0 Flash offers lower total cost at standard usage volumes (1,000 input + 500 output tokens per request at 100,000 requests/month) at $30.00/month, compared to $240.00/month for Amazon Nova Pro.
Both models are priced in USD per million tokens, the standard unit across all major AI API providers. Amazon Nova Pro charges $0.80/M for input tokens and $3.20/M for output tokens. Gemini 2.0 Flash charges $0.10/M input and $0.40/M output. If your workload is output-heavy (more tokens generated than consumed as input), the model with the lower output price compounds cost savings significantly at scale.
Prompt caching is supported by Gemini 2.0 Flash but not Amazon Nova Pro. For workloads with large, repeated system prompts or document context — such as RAG pipelines or multi-turn conversations with a fixed knowledge base — prompt caching can reduce effective input costs by 60–90%, which may change the cost ranking between these two models at your specific usage pattern.
Context window capacity differs between the two: Gemini 2.0 Flash supports up to 1,048,576 tokens in a single request, versus 300,000 tokens for Amazon Nova Pro. A larger context window is essential for document summarization, large codebase analysis, and multi-document retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.
