# How much does Vimmerse cost per image, video and audio call? Every Vimmerse call is priced in credits, and the count depends on the tool, the duration and the quantity you request. A credit costs $0.03 per credit on Pay per call and as little as $20 per thousand credits on Business credits. Ask the estimate route for the exact count, then send the request and pay the 402, the price quote you pay before retrying; the [buyer skill](https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/SKILL.md) has the full purchase flow. ## At a glance - **Unit:** credits, on every service: image, video, audio, story, workflow and prompt tools. - **Pay per call:** $0.03 per credit, paid per request with no account or API key. - **Prepaid plans:** Credits $28 per thousand credits (from $14), Pro credits $24 per thousand credits (from $120), Business credits $20 per thousand credits (from $1000). - **Estimate routes:** `POST https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/v2/image/estimate-credits`, `/v2/audio/estimate-credits`, `/v2/media/estimate-credits`. Each returns `total_credits` and a `breakdown`. - **Payment:** x402 (Base USDC) or MPP (Tempo USDC), the wallet rails. Card works for calls of $0.50 or more, and for plans. - **Price before paying:** the 402 states the exact `payment.amountUsd`. - **Full flow:** [buyer skill](https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/SKILL.md). Live prices: [catalog](https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/manifest.json). ## Estimate the credits before you pay 1. Send the same pricing fields you will send the generation route, with your bearer credential (`Authorization: Bearer`), the agent identity the storefront issues at [auth.md](https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/auth.md): ```http POST https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/v2/image/estimate-credits Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer {"app_name": "text-to-image", "option": "AutoI", "quantity": 1} ``` 2. The response is `{"total_credits": , "breakdown": {...}}`. The image estimate drew nothing. Cost is the credit count times your plan's price per credit: | Request | Credits | Pay per call | Credits plan | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Image, `option` `AutoI` | 4 | $0.12 | $0.112 | | Image, `option` `NanoBananaPro` | 16 | $0.48 | $0.448 | | Speech, `option` `ElevenLabsTTS` | 4 | $0.12 | $0.112 | | Video, `video_tool` `Auto`, `duration` 5 | 40 | $1.20 | $1.12 | | Video, `video_tool` `Auto`, `duration` 10 | 80 | $2.40 | $2.24 | Prompt text, `pipeline_mode`, `aspect_ratio` and `loop` do not change video credits. On some video tools `native_audio` doubles them, and the estimate's `breakdown` shows when it does. `quantity` runs from 1 to 4. ## What is charged, and when - Nothing is charged until you pay the 402. Paying it accepts Vimmerse's terms and the platform's buyer terms. - A text-to-image call on `AutoI` paid $0.12 for 4 credits at the Pay per call rate. A text-to-speech call paid $0.12 for 4 credits. A 5-second video on `Auto` paid $1.20 for 40 credits. - Video jobs are polled with `GET /v2/media/{media_id}`, and polling draws nothing. Send your access token with the payment on `POST /v2/media` so the poll can read the job; the [buyer skill](https://agents.vimmerse.net/zcj/gyar4luj79co/SKILL.md) has the steps. A job paid with no identity belongs to the wallet, and the identity's poll answers 404. - On a plan, each call draws its credits from your balance. The `zc-billing` header reports `chargedUsd` and `remainingCreditUsd`. Top up with `POST /extend`. - Card pays a single call only at $0.50 or more. For smaller calls, use a wallet rail or a prepaid plan. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the Vimmerse AI image API cost per image?
