## How we checked
- We read each tool's own website, pricing and terms on 2026-10-21; the URLs are listed under each tool.
- Book cost = what you'd pay for 24 designs plus the cover on the cheapest plan that allows selling, keeping every page on the first try. The formula is shown for each tool so you can redo it.
- KDP Coloring Book Studio is ours and is marked as such. Among the tools that make the full KDP book (interior and full cover) and publish both costs, it's the cheapest because of its published prices, not because of its position. KDP Tools and MyColoring.AI cost less per page but don't make the full cover wrap.

## Questions
### How much does it cost to make a coloring book for KDP with AI?
With the tools that publish their per-page prices, a 24-design book with its cover costs from about $3.31 (KDP Coloring Book Studio) to about $10.73 (kdpbook.io at its largest page size). Printing is separate and paid from your royalties.

### Do AI coloring book generators make the KDP cover?
Seven of the ten we checked make a full paperback wrap (front, spine and back). KDP Tools makes part of it, and MyColoring.AI and ColorBliss don't make a wrap.

### Why print coloring pages on one side?
So markers don't bleed through onto the next design. It doubles the page count, which raises the printing cost and the spine width.
