Pricing Calculator on the Web App

Leonardo AI offers a Pricing Calculator on their web app, which helps users plan out how many API credits different generations will use. This tool is invaluable for budgeting and optimizing API usage.

Example Calculation

• Number of images: 4
• Image Dimensions: 512 x 512
• Step Count: 10

This configuration results in a cost of 7 API credits. Understanding these costs can help users design their applications more efficiently.

Tip

The cost of generating 1 image versus multiple images may be the same. Leveraging this insight, users can offer a selection of images upfront, reducing the need for multiple regenerations by end-users.

Pricing Calculator on the API

The Pricing Calculator is also accessible via the API, allowing programmatic calculation of API credit costs based on various settings. This feature is particularly useful for integrating cost calculations directly into user applications.

Use Cases

• Programmatically getting API credit cost for a list of settings
• Checking API credit costs for settings not available on the web app

While the Pricing Calculator API can be used interactively within web applications, it contributes to the total number of requests. To avoid rate limiting, it is recommended to store API credit costs in a local database if this information needs to be exposed to end-users frequently.

Estimated Pricing Table

The estimated pricing table provides a reference for credit costs based on different models and configurations. This helps users anticipate their usage and manage their credits effectively.

Examples

Fixed Costs

Leonardo AI also offers fixed costs for specific tasks, ensuring users know exactly how many credits certain actions will consume.

Examples

Realtime Canvas (LCM Generations)

Credits for realtime canvas operations increase based on image dimensions, offering flexibility in usage.

Examples

Monitoring and Tracking API Credits

To effectively monitor and track your API credit usage with Leonardo AI, the Create a Generation of Images API endpoint returns an "apiCreditCost" in the response. This allows you to keep an eye on your credit consumption.

Additionally, on the Leonardo web app, you can observe changes in your API credits on the API Access Page.

Checking Remaining API Credits and Web Tokens

Use the Get User API endpoint to view your remaining API credits. This endpoint helps you check your credit balance and set up alerting if needed.

Understanding Your Remaining Tokens and Credits

Web Tokens

Your remaining Web Tokens, visible in the top left-hand corner of your account, are a combination of "paidTokens" and "subscriptionTokens".

From the sample response:

• paidTokens: 38,500
• subscriptionTokens: 1,005

Total Remaining Web Tokens: 38,500 + 1,005 = 39,505

API Credits

Your remaining API credits, visible under the API Usage tab, are a combination of "apiPaidTokens" and "apiSubscriptionTokens".

From the sample response:

• apiPaidTokens: 45,677
• apiSubscriptionTokens: 13

Total Remaining API Credits: 45,677 + 13 = 45,690

Tips

The Remaining Web Tokens in your account are a combination of "paidTokens" and "subscriptionTokens".

The Remaining Credits under the API tab are a combination of apiPaidTokens and apiSubscriptionTokens.
