Pricing
One balance for every model. No subscriptions, no minimum spend, and no separate provider accounts.
#Public models
Every public model exposes the same two route tiers. The cards show one representative generation method; the complete method-by-method comparison is below.
Image Models

#Usage-based billing
There are no fixed monthly charges. Your balance changes only when a generation request completes, so you can move between models without changing plans.
Set route_mode to official or official-cheap. If it is omitted, MLMux uses official-cheap.
An explicit request route_mode pins that request to one tier. If it is omitted, MLMux may use the API key's ordered route list before falling back to the model default.
Credits are US dollars: 1 credit equals $1 across every provider and route. The database price snapshot is the billing authority.
#Model rates
Images are billed on the tokens the model returns: official at the provider's published rates, official-cheap at 50% of them. The amounts below are estimates per image or per second at each resolution. Video prices differ with and without a reference video.
