Image and video API pricing
One balance for every model. No subscriptions, no minimum spend, and no separate provider accounts.
Public models
Every public model offers the same two route tiers, official and official-cheap. The cards show one representative generation method; the complete method-by-method comparison is below.
Image Models
GPT Image and Nano Banana are billed on actual tokens: official at the provider's published rates, official-cheap at 60% of them for GPT Image and 50% for Nano Banana. Seedream and Qwen Image have a fixed price per image: official at the list price, official-cheap at 90% of it. The cards show the cost of one image at the lowest resolution each model offers.

Usage-based billing
There are no fixed monthly charges. Your balance changes only when a generation request completes, so you can move between models without changing plans.
Set route_mode to official or official-cheap. If it is omitted, MLMux uses official-cheap.
An explicit request route_mode pins that request to one tier. If it is omitted, MLMux may use the API key's ordered route list before falling back to the model default.
Credits are US dollars: 1 credit equals $1 across every provider and route.
Requests that fail validation or fail at the provider are not charged; the credits held for them return to your balance.
Purchased credits expire one year after purchase. The minimum top-up is $5, and new accounts do not include free credits.
Each account can run up to 60 tasks at the same time. Contact support to raise the limit.
Model rates
GPT Image and Nano Banana are billed on the tokens the model returns: official at the provider's published rates, official-cheap at 60% of them for GPT Image and 50% for Nano Banana. Seedream and Qwen Image have a fixed price per image. Seedance is billed on output tokens, so its amounts are estimates per second; the other video models and the video tools are billed per second, so their amounts are exact. Some video prices differ with and without a reference video.
