Pricing & Credits

AI Playground uses pay-per-generation credits — no per-provider subscriptions, no API keys to manage. Every call shows its credit cost before you commit, and one balance covers all 176 models.

Check your balance

gen-ai credits

{ "name": "picsart_credits", "arguments": {} }

Quote a cost (dry run)

Always free — no model is invoked and nothing is charged.

gen-ai pricing seedance-2.0 -d 5 -r 1080p     # cost for a specific config
gen-ai pricing veo-3.1 -d 8                    # 8-second Veo clip
gen-ai pricing --mode video --json             # all video model pricing

{ "name": "picsart_pricing",
  "arguments": {
    "model": "veo-3.1",
    "prompt": "a drone shot over a snowy ridge",
    "params": { "duration": 8, "resolution": "1080p" }
  } }

picsart_pricing returns { model, credits } where credits is a number, or null if pricing isn't available for that model.

What drives cost

Cost depends on the model and its parameters. The biggest factors:

• Video — duration, resolution, and whether audio is generated.
• Image — resolution/quality and the number of outputs (count).
• Audio — length of the output.

Because pricing is resolved per-model and per-params, the only reliable number is the one from a live pricing quote against the exact payload you intend to run.
