Generation cost

By Jianchao Ci, CEO & CTO4 min read2026-04-06

TL;DR

Compare AI generation cost by model and edit tool, including credits per image and credits per second.

Two billing units

Image generation models and edit tools charge per output image. Video models charge per generated second — so a 10-second clip on a 24 cr/s model costs 240 credits.

This table gives the fastest cost comparison across image generation, image editing, and video. Open a model page if you also need input format, output controls, and feature details.

How to use it

  • Prompt-only image models are usually the cheapest place to iterate quickly.
  • Edit tools like Remove BG, Erase, Upscale, and Masked Edit are priced per image and should be read separately from prompt-only generation.
  • Heavier image models cost more per image but may reduce retries when quality matters.
  • Video cost grows with duration, so model choice matters much more on longer clips.
  • Reference-image video is priced the same way as text-to-video for the same family in the current table.
