How much does an image cost?

We use a megapixel based formula to calculate the cost of an image. It is constructed such that a 0.25 MPx image is 0.05 credits and a 25 MPx image is 1 credit, with proportional pricing in between.

Here's a table of some example image sizes and their corresponding credit cost, together with the effective price per image for the smallest credit pack:

MPxCreditsPrice/Image
0.25 0.050 $0.0010
0.50 0.060 $0.0012
1.00 0.079 $0.0016
2.00 0.117 $0.0023
4.00 0.194 $0.0039
8.00 0.347 $0.0069
12.00 0.501 $0.0100
16.00 0.655 $0.0131
20.00 0.808 $0.0162
25.00 1.000 $0.0200

These are not fixed tiers. Costs for image sizes not listed are proportionally calculated based on the nearest examples in the table. Larger credit packs yield even lower prices per image.

The precise pricing formula is:

mpx = max(width, 500) * max(height, 500) * 1e-6
mpx = max(0, mpx - min_mpx)
credits = per_request + per_mpx * mpx
credits = min(max_credits, credits)

Where:
width, height = width, height of image in pixels
min_mpx = 0.25
per_request = 0.05
per_mpx = ((1.0 - 0.05) / (25.0 - 0.25))
max_credits = 1.0

Do my credits expire?

Credits do not expire, but you must have made a purchase in the last two years to use them.

Why are your prices so much lower than the competition?

Their margin is our opportunity.

We see AI commoditizing rapidly, and rather than fighting that tide we've decided to embrace it.

This thinking has impacted every aspect of our business. The size of our team, the choice of AI model, the architecture of our IT operations. We've optimized them all towards maximizing quality and minimizing price.

So we don't have a 50 person sales team to wine and dine you (and at those margins they really should be!) All we're offering is a great service and outstanding value.

What payment options do I have?

We accept all major credit cards and PayPal. We do not accept purchase orders and do not issue invoices.

Can I integrate with the API for free?

Yes! It is free to integrate with and test out the API, no purchase required. Details

Do you offer special pricing for Academic or Non-profit users?

Sorry, but we do not offer special pricing for Academic Institutions or Non-profits.
