Billing Overview
How Atlas Cloud pricing and billing works — pay-as-you-go for all Model APIs
Atlas Cloud uses a pay-as-you-go billing model. You add funds to your account balance and pay only for what you use — no subscriptions required, no minimum commitments, no upfront fees. All prices are in US dollars (USD).
What you pay for
| Service | Billing Unit | When You're Charged |
|---|---|---|
| LLM APIs (chat, completions) | Per million tokens | After each request, based on actual token usage |
| Image generation | Per image / per generation | When you submit the task |
| Video generation | Per generation (by resolution & duration) | When you submit the task |
| Token-billed video (e.g. Seedance 2.x) | Per million output video tokens | When the task completes |
| Audio generation | Per generation | When you submit the task |
| Image tools (upscaling, background removal, etc.) | Per operation | When you submit the task |
You only pay for successful results: LLM requests that fail are not billed, and if a generation task fails, the amount is automatically returned to your balance — see Refunds & Failed Tasks.
Where to find prices

Your balance
Your account has a single balance made up of a cash balance (from top-ups) plus bonus credits and subscription credits (from promotions, redeem codes, and plans). All API usage draws from this balance. See Balance & Credits for how each component works and the order in which they are spent.
