Pricing
Price
0.0114 EGP per 1024p image
The provider reports the exact charge on every response.
- Priced per image unit, not per image: one unit is a 1024p image at 5 steps, and a default request costs 0.0114 EGP.
- Charge = unit price x (width / 1024) x (height / 1024) x (steps / 5). Smaller images cost less; larger images and more steps cost more.
- The exact charge is reported by the provider on every response and is what you pay.
