Magic Hour API Pricing

​

How API Pricing Works

Every generation uses credits. The number of credits depends on the model, output length, resolution, and other request options. See models and credit costs for the exact cost of each endpoint. You can fund API usage in three ways:

• Subscription plans include prepaid credits and plan benefits for a fixed monthly or annual price.
• Credit packs are one-time prepaid top-ups with no recurring subscription.
• Usage-based billing invoices the credits you actually use each month and applies graduated volume discounts. It currently requires setup assistance.

Unused prepaid credits from subscriptions and credit packs never expire.

Choose a Payment Method

​

Subscription Plans

Choose a plan when you want a predictable budget, recurring credits, and benefits such as larger uploads and higher concurrency. Annual plans are billed as $144 /$300 / $792 per year. Paid plans remove watermarks, include commercial use, and unlock higher-resolution options on each tool. Resolution is per tool, not a single pixel cap for the whole plan. See resolution.

​

Credit Packs

Buy credits once without starting a subscription. Packs work well for one-time projects, occasional usage, or temporary spikes. Credits are added immediately and never expire. Credit packs do not include subscription benefits other than removing watermarks. A pack alone does not unlock models, resolutions, upload limits, or concurrency reserved for a paid plan. Purchase packs on the pricing page.

​

Usage-Based Billing

Pay monthly for the credits you use. Rates use graduated bands, so credits in higher-volume bands cost less. This option fits variable or high-volume API workloads that are difficult to prepay. Usage-based billing is currently available by request. Contact support@magichour.ai or use the website chat for setup assistance.

​

Estimate Your Cost

1. Find the credits required for each generation in models and credit costs.
2. Multiply by your expected monthly generations, including higher-resolution or longer outputs.
3. Compare subscription plans, credit packs, and usage-based billing with the API cost calculator.
