Pricing
Prepaid credit pricing for the QuiverAI API.
The API uses prepaid on-demand pricing credits. Your organization API balance is stored in those
integer credit units. API calls do not spend weekly app subscription credits. The runtime
subtracts pricing_credits amounts from prepaid balance on each successful call—there is no
fixed rule like “one generated SVG equals one unit off the balance.”
How usage maps to credits
Debits are per model and per operation. A single successful output can cost many credits (for example 30 per generation for some models), not one.
Each model returned by GET /v1/models includes pricing_credits:
svg_generate— credits debited per generated SVG for that model (used byPOST /v1/svgs/generations).svg_vectorize— credits debited per vectorization for that model (used byPOST /v1/svgs/vectorizations).
Examples (current defaults; always read the live model object for your integration):
- One model might charge 30 credits per generation and 30 per vectorization.
- Another might charge 20 per generation and 15 per vectorization.
For generations, the n parameter means n outputs each cost svg_generate credits, so a
successful request debits n × svg_generate credits in total (default n is 1).
Vectorization requests debit svg_vectorize once per successful call. If the prepaid
on-demand balance cannot cover the request, the API returns 402 Payment Required before
running the operation.
The legacy model.pricing USD strings are deprecated placeholders for older clients. Use pricing_credits for billing behavior.
Credits
Buy prepaid on-demand credits from the Billing page.
- Per-credit price: default USD 0.01 per pricing credit (your organization may use a custom per-credit rate). That rate applies to every credit you buy; API usage then spends
n × svg_generateorsvg_vectorizecredits per successful call, so dollar cost per output is roughly(credits debited) × (per-credit price)—for example about USD 0.30 per generation whensvg_generateis 30 and the default USD 0.01/credit applies. - Purchase size: checkout limits are amount-based and can vary by your organization’s per-credit rate. The default checkout floor is USD 10.00, which is 1,000 credits at USD 0.01/credit. The Billing page shows the effective min/max for your account.
- Credits expire 1 year after purchase.
Monthly app subscriptions include weekly credits for the App product. Those subscription credits are
not API balance and cannot be spent through api.quiver.ai.
You can also enable automatic top-up in Billing to replenish credits when balance drops below your configured threshold.
