Understanding Pricing Models for Generative AI Tools
StableDiffusion
StableDiffusion offers two main pricing plans: a self-hosted membership for regular users and API usage for developers.
Self-Hosted Membership
The Self-Hosted Membership is divided into two categories: Non-Commercial and Professional. The following table outlines the features and pricing for each category:
| Membership Type | Pricing | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Commercial | Free | Core Models (non-commercial), early model access, public communities, spotlights, events |
| Professional | $20/mo | Core Models (commercial), Discord access, all Non-Commercial benefits |
Legend:
- Core Models: Full suite of primary models provided by the service
- early model access: Priority access to new models before general release
- public communities: Access to member-only online forums and groups
- spotlights, events: Participation in exclusive member events and features
- Discord access: Access to a private Discord community for members
- $20/mo: Pricing per month
API
Most API operations require credits, with the total price based on the computational resources needed to fulfill the request. The pricing is subject to change as models and infrastructure improve. After using the initial 25 free credits, additional credits can be purchased through the account page at a rate of $10 per 1,000 credits, which is sufficient for approximately 5,000 SDXL 1.0 images.
ℹ️ StableDiffusion XL (SDXL) is a text-to-image generation model that builds on previous StableDiffusion models with a larger architecture and more parameters.
Multiple APIs are available: image generation, upscaling, editing, and video generation.
Here's a breakdown of the pricing for each API:
Image Generation Using the API
| Service | Description | Price (Credits) |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Top image generation service | 3 |
| SDXL 1.0 | Standard base model for image gen. | 0.2 - 0.6 |
| SD 1.6 | Flexible-res base model for image gen. | 0.2 - 1.0 |
Legend:
- Image gen.: Image generation
- Flexible-res: Flexible resolution
