Dates beside benchmark scores refer to the linked source’s publication or capture date unless that source explicitly states when it measured the result. A shared URL alone does not establish comparable runs; unverified setups are marked. Prices are USD per million tokens at standard rates, excluding batch and caching discounts. Values we could not confirm from the provider are shown as “Not verified” rather than estimated.

Pricing tiers

Amazon Nova 2 Lite: Bedrock Global Standard $0.30/$2.50 per MTok, cached input $0.075 and cache writes $0. Single-region $0.33/$2.75, cached $0.0825 and writes $0. Global Flex/Batch $0.15/$1.25; regional $0.165/$1.375. Global Flex cache reads $0.0375; regional $0.04125. Global Priority $0.525/$4.375, cached $0.13125; regional $0.5775/$4.8125, cached $0.144375. Grounding is separately $0.03/request. Complete native offer published October 16, 2026; these token meters take effect October 1 and bill per 1K tokens, converted here to per million. Customization, provisioned capacity and account-specific routing remain separate.

Base 1: Uses Base44 message credits. Model-specific cost is shown under Credits Used per message; no direct token-rate API price is verified.

Amazon Nova 2 Lite

Amazon’s hosted Nova 2 Lite reasoning model for everyday business workflows, with a 1M-token context window.

Best for

  • Document processing
  • Business automation
  • Bedrock integrations

Watch out

Extended thinking is optional and off by default. Low/medium/high controls apply when enabled; high forbids maxTokens, temperature and topP overrides. The model card advertises 64K output, but the high-thinking guide describes outputs exceeding 65K and sometimes reaching 128K, so no universal hard output cap is asserted. Reasoning tokens are billed as output. Use the route-specific US/EU/JP/global ID supported by your account; documents are inputs and text is generated.

Base 1

Base44's first in-house model is offered in its app-building chat, with the publisher describing it as trained on platform building patterns.

Best for

  • Evaluating app-building prompts within Base44
  • Comparing builder output in an eligible Base44 account

Watch out

The current founder article explicitly says Published June 29, 2026 and 'Today, we announced' Base 1; this establishes the announcement date, not a universal account rollout date. No direct inference endpoint, stable API ID, downloadable checkpoint/licence, exact context/output, parameter count or comparable numeric benchmark is verified. The current manual-selection guide requires Builder or higher and explicitly excludes Base 1 from the effort selector. Per-message Credits Used is authoritative; in-app agent integration-credit prices are a different billing surface. The historical product changelog was not successfully re-fetched, so no broader all-plan availability is asserted.

When the cheaper one wins

One of these rows is missing a verified output price, so this page will not name a cheaper winner. Run the model picker against the actual job instead of guessing.

Evidence confidence: Insufficient data

How strong and complete the evidence behind this comparison is — not a prediction of which model is better. Hard limitations apply: missing pricing; evidence too sparse.

  • Pricing incomplete — No verified token pricing for Base 1.
  • 1/5 core specs verified on both sides — Not published for at least one side: context window, max output, parameter count, reasoning levels.
  • No directly aligned benchmark setup — No benchmark has matching cited sources, source dates, units, effort and recorded run details on both models.
  • Verified within the last 90 days — Older of the two catalog checks was 1 day ago.
  • Both models carry source citations — Each side has at least two catalog sources on record.

These two models match on every verified catalog figure — the decision comes down to provider preference, availability, and workload fit rather than published numbers.
