PixVerse API

December 6, 2024 (October 21, 2026)

Independent third-party service, see Legal

This is a third-party API for PixVerse by AIsphere. It uses your PixVerse subscription: Free (Basic), Standard $10, Pro $30, Premium $60, Ultra $199 or Team Ultra $199 a seat a month (as of October 2026). It makes video with PixVerse V6 and C1 plus Seedance 2.5, Kling O3, Veo 3.1 Fast, MiniMax H3 and more, plus images, music, speech, upscaling and more than 900 effects, through a REST API. PixVerse’s own developer API sells only the PixVerse models, and its credits are kept apart from PixVerse subscriptions.

Pricing

What one video or image costs on PixVerse’s developer API and on each PixVerse subscription (as of October 2026). Each subscription comes with a monthly number of credits, and each video or image uses a set number of them, so it costs its share of the subscription.

  • A free Basic account gets 60 credits to start and 30 a day, for the PixVerse models up to 540p, and paid plans get 60 a day on top of their monthly credits. Standard ($10 a month, 1,200 credits) goes up to 720p and adds Nano Banana 2.1 and the GPT Image 2.5 pair. Every third-party video model needs Pro or higher.
  • Relax Mode images cost 0 credits: Qwen Image and Nano Banana 2 Lite on Pro, plus Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2.1 and Seedream 4.0 on Premium, and all 15 image models on Ultra. Past a few hundred images per model a day, PixVerse moves the account to a slow queue.
  • Off-Peak mode takes 30% off on Pro and 50% on Premium and is free on Ultra, for the PixVerse models, with results usually within 24 hours. Preview mode takes 20% off on every paid plan. PixVerse’s developer API has neither.
  • Ultra takes 40% off most third-party models and 20% off Seedance 2.5, MiniMax H3, H3 Max, FLUX 3 and Wan 3.0, and the Ultra column includes it. Pro and Premium pay the full rate, so Premium stays the cheapest plan for third-party video.
  • Billed yearly, the same credits cost 20% less on Standard, Pro and Premium and 25% less on Ultra ($149 a month). Team Ultra costs $199 a seat, with Ultra’s credits and discounts, 12 concurrent generations and a shared workspace.
  • Upscale, music, speech and every other model and quality are in the calculator below.

Plans

Plan Monthly Yearly Credits/mo $/credit monthly $/credit yearly
Standard $10 $96 1,200 $0.00833 $0.00667
Pro $30 $288 6,000 $0.00500 $0.00400
Premium $60 $576 15,000 $0.00400 $0.00320
Ultra $199 $1,788 25,000 $0.00796 $0.00596

The calculator carries Pro, Premium and Ultra, monthly and yearly. Team Ultra is priced like Ultra per seat and shares its credits, discounts and free image list, so select Ultra for it. Free (Basic) and Standard run only the PixVerse models, and a third-party model returns 412 on them, so Standard isn’t in the calculator.

Ultra’s higher $/credit rate means a single PixVerse-model video costs more on Ultra than on Premium, unless you use more than Premium’s monthly credits. The calculator applies every plan rule automatically.

Third-party model discounts

There is no single third-party rate. PixVerse discounts third-party models one model at a time, and a model-specific promotion replaces the plan-wide Ultra discount rather than stacking with it.

Models Ultra discount
seedance-2.5, minimax-h3, minimax-h3-max, flux-3.0, wan-3.0 20% off
seedance-2.0, seedance-2.0-fast, seedance-2.0-mini, kling-o3, kling-v3, grok-imagine, grok-imagine-1.5, veo-3.1-lite, veo-3.1-standard, veo-3.1-fast, happyhorse-1.0, gemini-omni-flash 40% off

No model-specific promotion is running as of October 21, 2026, so every third-party model pays the full rate on Pro and Premium and only Ultra gets a cut. The seedance-2.5 promotion at 1080p (30% off on Pro and Premium, 44% on Ultra) has ended, and so has the earlier minimax-h3 one. flux-3.0, wan-3.0 and minimax-h3-max launched without one.

PixVerse adds and removes these promotions without notice. seedance-2.5, the Seedance 2.0 family and minimax-h3 each gained and lost one within two months, so treat the calculator as current as of its last sync rather than contractual.

Cost per second, in dollars

Discounts are quoted as percentages off a credit rate, which makes plans hard to compare. This is the same thing in money: the per-second cost of one video after that plan’s discount, at the plan’s monthly $/credit. Multiply by your duration.

Premium is the cheapest plan for third-party video on every row above. It carries the same model discounts as Pro at a lower $/credit, $0.00400 against $0.00500, so it wins on all 42 combinations. Ultra’s deeper discounts do beat Pro on 29 of them, but never beat Premium, because its $/credit is 59% higher. Pro beats Ultra on the remaining thirteen: the three rows each for seedance-2.5, wan-3.0 and minimax-h3-max, and both rows each for minimax-h3 and flux-3.0. Ultra takes only 20% off those five models, which leaves it at $0.00637 per credit, still above Pro’s $0.00500. Pick Ultra for the free Off-Peak videos on the PixVerse models and all 15 free image models, not for third-party video pricing.

Notes on the figures above:

  • Credits/sec is the list rate before any plan discount. The dollar columns already have the discount applied.
  • Rates are for monthly billing. Yearly billing is 20 to 25% cheaper per credit, so scale accordingly: Pro $0.00400, Premium $0.00320, Ultra $0.00596.
  • kling-o3 and kling-v3 add 40% when audio is enabled, at 720p and 1080p only. The 4K tier carries no audio surcharge.
  • veo-3.1-standard and veo-3.1-fast generate audio on every call and cannot disable it, so their surcharge is already included above.
  • veo-3.1-lite, veo-3.1-standard and veo-3.1-fast accept a duration of 4, 6 or 8 only, and at 1080p only 8.
  • minimax-h3 fusion adds 10 credits per reference image above 5. A 5-second 1440p fusion is 225 credits with up to 5 images and 265 with 9. minimax-h3-max adds 20 per image above 2. A 5-second 480p fusion is 75 credits with 1 or 2 images and 215 with 9. They are the only video models with an image-count term.
  • flux-3.0 and wan-3.0 both expose an audio toggle, and neither charges for it. Their rates carry no audio term, unlike kling-o3 and kling-v3.
  • wan-3.0 bills one flat rate per quality in every mode. Fusion costs the same per second as text-to-video, with no reference-count or reference-duration term, which is what makes it much cheaper than Seedance fusion.
  • A video is rounded up to a whole credit once, at the end. Very short clips can therefore cost a fraction of a credit more than the per-second figure implies.

Seedance fusion with a reference video is priced differently. Attaching one or more reference videos to create-fusion switches the rate to a lower per-second figure, but bills you for the output duration plus the total reference duration. For seedance-2.5 that is 21 credits a second at 480p, 45 at 720p and 102 at 1080p, against 35, 75 and 170 without. A reference video therefore only saves credits while it runs shorter than about two-thirds of your output. On Pro a 4-second 480p clip costs 140 credits alone, and 273 with 9 seconds of reference video attached. The calculator above has a field for this.

Upscale

Video upscale is billed per second of the source video, rounded up. Image upscale is billed per image. Both endpoints return the exact price for free with "quote": true.

Free images (Relax Mode)

Plan Free image models
Pro qwen-image, nano-banana-2-lite
Premium qwen-image, nano-banana, nano-banana-2, nano-banana-2.1, nano-banana-2-lite, seedream-4.0
Ultra qwen-image, nano-banana, nano-banana-2, nano-banana-2-lite, nano-banana-pro, seedream-4.0, seedream-4.5, seedream-5.0-lite, seedream-5.0-pro, kling-3.0, kling-o3, gpt-image-2.0, gpt-image-2.5-flare, gpt-image-2.5-sunburst, nano-banana-2.1 (all 15)

Relax Mode is unmetered, not unthrottled. These models cost zero credits on the listed plans and nothing rejects a request for being too frequent, but PixVerse applies a daily volume threshold. Past it the account is moved to a slow queue rather than refused — generations still succeed and still cost nothing, they just take far longer to come back. It is visible in the response, where queue_data.slow_queue turns true, queue_data.reason reads daily_limit_exceeded, and queue_count gives the number of tasks ahead.

The threshold applies per model, not per account. An account throttled on one model keeps generating at full speed on every other one, and the busiest accounts clear 500–700 images a day across models combined. We have seen it engage on nano-banana-2, nano-banana-pro and gpt-image-2.0, most often on nano-banana-2. The point at which it engages is not fixed and varies between accounts, but as a rough guide expect a few hundred images per model per day — around 300 for nano-banana-pro and around 500 for gpt-image-2.0. We have not seen it on the remaining models, which does not mean they are unlimited, only that nobody has pushed them hard enough for it to show. The allowance resets at approximately 00:00 UTC, so a throttled account is clear again at the start of the next UTC day. PixVerse moves these thresholds without notice, so treat them as rough capacity guidance rather than a guarantee.

Sustained volume needs more than one account, because each account carries its own allowance and POST /videos/create and POST /images/create spread work across every account you have configured. Adding accounts alone is not a guarantee though — we have seen a multi-account pool throttled on the same model at the same time, because every account was working through the same daily allowance on the same model. Once a pool is in that state more accounts only buy one more allowance each, and none of them are fast.

Falling back to another model is usually the better move, because the allowances are independent per model. An account wedged on nano-banana-2 still generates on nano-banana-pro, seedream-4.5 or gpt-image-2.0 at full speed. Decide in advance which models are acceptable for your use case, watch for queue_data.slow_queue turning true on the image or video response, and move down that list rather than waiting out the queue.

Start using the API

A single $15/month subscription covers every API on useapi.net — one token, all services. You connect up to 3 accounts per service, each with its own website subscription, and useapi.net handles the REST API, load balancing, and polling. Need more accounts? Each extra subscription is $10/month and adds 3 more accounts per service.

Subscribe — $15/month Pay with crypto

Pricing and volume options — full refund within the first 14 days if you have fewer than 50 successful generations. Already subscribed? Change the quantity in the Stripe Customer Portal instead of buying again.

Run several PixVerse accounts

Video, image, music and speech requests don’t need email: each job goes to one of your PixVerse accounts with a free slot, within the maxJobs limit you set for each account with POST accounts/email, up to the concurrent generations its plan allows (2 on Basic, 3 on Standard, 5 on Pro, 8 on Premium and Ultra, 12 on Team Ultra). When every account is busy you get 429, so wait 10 to 30 seconds and send it again. Pass email to run a job on a specific account. A file uploaded through one account works from all of them, and each account has its own daily Relax Mode allowance for free images.

Every generation request can send its result to your webhook with replyUrl, so you don’t have to poll, and GET scheduler lists the jobs running now. Off-Peak jobs skip both and don’t count toward maxJobs, so collect them with GET videos.

Questions

Does PixVerse have an API?

Through useapi.net, yes, and it runs on your PixVerse subscription, from video and images to music, speech, upscaling and more than 900 effects. PixVerse’s own developer API bills separate API credits that a PixVerse subscription can’t pay for, and PixVerse lists that API access from $100 (as of October 2026). Setup PixVerse connects your account.

How much does the PixVerse API cost?

Through useapi.net, PixVerse V6 at 1080p with sound costs $0.08 a second on Premium at $60 a month, $0.064 billed yearly and $0.04 in Off-Peak mode, against $0.102 on PixVerse’s own developer API, which has no Off-Peak mode (as of October 2026). Off-Peak is free on Ultra. The price table shows each model on each subscription.

Do I need a PixVerse API key?

Through useapi.net, no PixVerse developer key: you use a useapi.net API token and connect your PixVerse account through Setup PixVerse. Effects, motion control, upscaling, music and text-to-speech all run on the same subscription credits, and GET videos/effects lists the effect templates. Examples are on GitHub at useapi/pixverse-api.

Can the PixVerse API run Seedance 2.0 and Veo 3.1?

Through useapi.net, yes, from the same call as PixVerse V6: POST videos/create runs 17 third-party video models, among them Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Kling O3, Veo 3.1 and MiniMax H3. On Premium billed yearly, a 5-second 1080p video costs $1.44 on Seedance 2.0 and $2.72 on Seedance 2.5, against $1.87 and $2.84 on ByteDance’s official API (as of October 2026).
