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 Pro: Bedrock Global Standard $1.25/$10 per MTok; single-region $1.375/$11. Global Flex/Batch $0.625/$5 and regional $0.6875/$5.50. Global Priority $2.1875/$17.50 and regional $2.40625/$19.25. These are native Nova 2.0 Pro on-demand meters in the complete offer published October 16, 2026, with October 1 effective dates; not custom-model, provisioned-throughput or training prices. No Pro cached-input meter is present in this capture. Billing meters do not establish GA or account access.
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 Pro
Amazon's closed Nova 2 Pro preview accepts text, images, video and speech and generates text; its launch announcement specifies a one-million-token context.
Best for
- AWS-native workloads
- Multimodal
- Long-context
Watch out
Preview access was announced for Nova Forge customers through their AWS account team. Current account access, a stable API model ID and a hard output cap remain unverified. Launch documentation names low/medium/high thinking; the current detailed thinking guide covers Lite only, so do not transfer its request rules to Pro. The October 1 Artificial Analysis 14-point Pro row is an estimate and is withheld. Omission from a current model list does not prove retirement.
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.
Run the model pickerEvidence 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.
