FAQ
Pricing and API balance FAQ
How is SeedreamBest pricing calculated?
SeedreamBest uses API balance. Each image, video, or copywriting request is charged by the model, mode, resolution, duration, and output count shown in the pricing table.
Do Model Square and API requests share the same balance?
Yes. Model Square usage and API sub-key requests use the same API balance, so teams can manage one pool of credits across the web app and integrations.
Are failed generation tasks charged?
Failed or cancelled tasks release unused reserved balance. If an image task only partially succeeds, the system releases the excess reserved amount.
Why are API prices rounded to cents?
API ledger entries are recorded in USD cents. Very small model costs are rounded up to the nearest 1 cent for consistent billing records.
Can I buy a custom API balance amount?
Yes. Use the custom top-up option to add an API balance amount between the supported minimum and maximum.
