Credit Costs

Every generation deducts credits from your team's balance at submission time. If a job fails, the credits are automatically refunded.

You can check your current balance via the Account endpoint or in the Apiframe console.

Image generation

Models tagged × n multiply by the number of images requested in the call (n, number_of_images, or num_images depending on the model).

AI Photos (LoRA training)

POST /v2/loras — train a Flux LoRA from 15-30 subject photos.

Video generation

Per-clip pricing

Per-second pricing

credits = rate × duration. The route probes the requested duration (or input video length, for wan-2.7-r2v) and bills accordingly.

hailuo-03 also bills reference video at its per-second rate (output seconds + reference seconds), and charges a flat surcharge for each reference image past the first five. A base_video regen is billed at the 2k-regen rate on the probed source duration, with extra images at extra-image-regen.

wan-3.0 is announced but not yet launched, so requests for it are rejected until it ships. Its rate below is provisional and will be confirmed at launch.

flux-3 rates vary by resolution, draft mode, and whether the request continues an existing video. If you omit duration, the model picks any length from 5 to 20 seconds ("auto") and the request is billed at the 20-second maximum — pass an explicit duration for exact pricing.

Image upscale

POST /v2/images/upscale — Topaz (realistic) and Clarity (creative) image upscalers.

The Topaz output-megapixel tier is computed automatically from the input image's dimensions × upscale_factor² and rounded up to the next configured row.

Image editing

POST /v2/images/background-remove, POST /v2/images/edit — Background removal, inpainting and outpainting.

Video upscale

POST /v2/videos/upscale — Topaz video upscale and frame interpolation.

Pricing is per second of input video, tiered by output resolution × output fps. The route probes the input duration via ffprobe at submit time and charges cost-per-second × ceil(duration).

Video editing

POST /v2/videos/edit — Wan 2.7 prompt-driven VideoEdit. Pricing is per second of output video.

How credits work

• Deducted at submission — credits are reserved the moment you send a generation request.
• Refunded on failure — if a job fails (provider error, content policy violation, etc.), the full credit cost is returned to your balance.
• Snapshotted per job — the creditCost field on a job reflects the cost at the time of submission, even if pricing changes later.
• Team-scoped — credits belong to your team, not individual users. All team members share the same balance.
