Start with a 24-hour free trial — up to 5,000 credits, no card. After that, pay only for what you use. All plans include every tool: image, video, audio, 3D, VFX. Billing in USD via PayPal.
Standard plans run try-on on our shared GPU pool — excellent value, but under heavy load you can hit a queue. SCALE routes your try-ons through a dedicated, auto-scaling managed pipeline: consistent ~10–15s results with no queue, even when you fire hundreds at once. Built for production try-on apps and high-volume catalogues.
| Standard (Free / Starter / Pro) | SCALE | |
|---|---|---|
| Try-on speed | ~30s typical · can queue under load | ~10–15s · consistent · no queue |
| Burst capacity | 3–20 parallel jobs | 50 parallel jobs · 200 req/min |
| Quality & safety gates | Full (suitability, garment, identity) | Full — identical |
| Try-on price | 12 credits — $0.012 / image | 250 credits — $0.25 / image |
| Best for | Indie devs · low/medium volume · budget-first | Marketplaces & high-volume catalogues where speed is the product |
The trade-off, in plain terms: SCALE try-on costs more per image because it runs on a dedicated managed pipeline that guarantees speed at scale — you are paying for consistency and burst capacity, not a cheaper rate. If you are an indie developer on a budget and can tolerate the occasional queue, stay on Free / Starter / Pro: it is the same try-on quality at $0.012/image. We keep the low-cost plans genuinely cheap on purpose so smaller builders can sustain — speed is the thing that comes at a cost. Your $200/mo SCALE subscription includes 300,000 credits (~1,200 fast-lane try-ons); beyond that, top up at 1 credit = $0.001. What we document here is exactly what we charge — 250 credits per SCALE try-on, no surprises.
PixelAPI is exactly half the cheapest API rival — $0.012 per try-on. Other platforms run $0.023 to $0.60 per try.

1 credit = $0.001 USD. Fractional credits are honest: what we deduct is what we display. Every price below is exactly half of the cheapest API rival we could find as of May 2026 — audited monthly.

Yes — a 24-hour free trial with up to 5,000 credits, whichever runs out first. That's enough for ~200 image generations, ~500 background removals, ~30 video calls, or any mix. No credit card required. After the trial ends, top up only what you need.
All purchased credits — whether from a subscription plan or a top-up credit pack — are valid for 30 days from the date they are credited to your account. If you top up or renew before your existing credits expire, your unused balance carries forward with a fresh 30-day window (like mobile prepaid carry-forward). If you top up after expiry, forfeited credits cannot be restored. Free-trial credits expire after 24 hours.
All billing is in USD via PayPal. Your card's local currency is shown for reference but may vary with FX.
Calls are rejected with HTTP 402 until you top up or wait for the next cycle. No surprise overage bills.
