Render API pricing

Deterministic, computable pricing — an agent can bound the cost of a render before it calls. No subscriptions; buy credits, spend them whenever.

credits = ceil( duration_s × fps_factor × resolution_factor × format_factor ) 1 credit = 1 second of 1080p / 30fps MP4 = $0.015

Factors

Resolution	Factor
`720p`	×0.5
`1080p`	×1
`4k`	×4

FPS	Factor
`12`	×0.4
`15`	×0.5
`24`	×0.8
`25`	×0.8333
`30` (pinned)	×1
`48`	×1.6
`50`	×1.6667
`60` (pinned)	×2

Format	Factor
`mp4`	×1
`webm`	×1
`gif`	×1.5
`svg`	×0.25
`png`	×0.1
`pdf`	×0.1
`widgetHtml`	×0.1
`widget`	×0.1
`project`	×0.1

Stills and widget builds: 1 credit — PNG, PDF, widget, widgetHtml and project are priced as one frame or one build (duration & fps ignored). Limits: fps any whole number 1–120; ≤ 600s per job, ≤ 3600s total for a segmented piece; ≤ 5,000 items. POST /v1/renders:estimate returns this exact number, free.

Any amount from $10 to $1,000 can be bought at /add-credits; the card fee comes off every purchase.

Agents pay from the same credit balance as everyone else: a service-account key, and POST /v1/renders:estimate for an exact price before committing. Machine-native settlement (x402) is implemented but not enabled on this deployment.
