# Apiway pricing

> Apiway is an AI fashion photography platform. Plans are metered in **credits** (1 credit ≈ $0.01 of generation). Always verify final numbers on **https://localhost:10000/pricing**.

## How billing works

Apiway uses **monthly subscription billing via Stripe**. Each plan includes a fixed credit allowance per billing period. Credits are deducted **before** each generation; if a generation fails, credits are refunded automatically. There are no per-image fees on top of the plan allowance — usage is fully predictable inside the included credits.

Plan changes (upgrades or downgrades) are prorated by Stripe. Cancellation stops the next renewal; remaining credits stay usable until the end of the current billing period. There are no long-term contracts on the published plans.

## Plan tiers

## Generation cost (credits per output)

Apiway charges per generated image based on the **model** and **resolution** picked in the UI. The default model in most templates is **Nano Banana 2** at 2K.

| Model | 1K | 2K | 4K |
|-------|---:|---:|---:|
| Nano Banana (legacy flash) | 15 | — | — |
| Nano Banana Pro | — | 25 | 40 |
| Nano Banana 2 (default) | 10 | 14 | 20 |

A "generation" is one output image. Templates that emit multiple frames in one run (e.g. UGC photo sets, batch creation) charge per-frame.

### Reference photoshoots flat base

Reference Campaign AI Photoshoots use a flat base of **30 credits** per final output when the buyer is not consuming a paid marketplace avatar/reference. This is one charge on the first pipeline step (not multiplied by internal step count).

## Worked examples

- **Free plan, Nano Banana 2 @ 2K** → 100 credits ÷ 14 = **7 generations/month**.
- **Starter plan, Nano Banana 2 @ 2K** → 1,000 ÷ 14 = **~71 generations/month**.
- **Pro plan, Nano Banana Pro @ 4K** → 6,000 ÷ 40 = **150 generations/month**.
- **Studio plan, Nano Banana 2 @ 4K** → 14,000 ÷ 20 = **700 generations/month**.
- **Scale plan, Nano Banana 2 @ 2K** → 80,000 ÷ 14 = **5,714 generations/month**.

## What's included on every plan
