Cost Management
Optimize spending on coding plans and inference credits.
Overview
Manage costs by choosing the right plan, monitoring usage, and optimizing requests.
Coding plan optimization
- Choose a plan where your typical monthly usage fits within the included budget
- Monitor quota regularly to avoid unexpected overage
- Use the Free plan for evaluation and testing
- Upgrade to Go or Pro for higher rate limits and larger budget
Inference optimization
- Use serverless for variable workloads (pay only for what you use)
- Use dedicated servers for sustained 24/7 workloads
- Reduce image dimensions or generation steps to lower cost
- Use async mode (wait=false) for non-critical requests
Plan comparison
