deAPI runs Kling 4.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5, Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2 and open video models such as LTX-2.5 and MiniMax H3 on prepaid credits. There is no monthly plan and no credit cycle, and paid credits stay on your balance while the account is active. Generate in the Playground in your browser, or call the same models through the API and MCP.
$5 in free credits to start. No credit card required.
Three shots and six API calls. GPT Image 2 drew each frame for $0.054, and MiniMax H3 animated each one into a 5-second clip at 1344×768 for $0.145. We cut the three clips into one trailer with a 2.39:1 crop. Higgsfield sells camera moves as presets. On deAPI you write the camera move into the prompt.
Higgsfield sells two products: a creator app on monthly plans and a separate developer API. The table compares deAPI with the app, which is what most people mean by Higgsfield. Facts from Higgsfield's pricing page and terms of use, read 6 and 12 November 2026.
| deAPI | Higgsfield app | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Prepaid credits. Top up when you need more. | Plan billed monthly or yearly. Starter is $19 for 270 credits a month, Plus $59 for 1,200 and Ultra $129 for 3,000. |
| Unused credits | Paid credits don't expire while the account is active. The free $5 is yours for 30 days, and if you top up within that time it stays on your balance after the 30 days too. | Plan credits expire at the end of each cycle. Top-up credits last 90 days. All credits expire when you close the account. |
| Price of a job | Shown before you run it, in the Playground and on every /price endpoint. | Listed in credits per model. One credit costs about $0.049 to $0.07 on monthly Starter and Plus. |
| "Unlimited" | No unlimited tier. Every job has its own price. | Unlimited windows on selected models, with lengths that vary by plan. Unlimited jobs run in the standard queue, for personal use in the web app only. |
| API and agents | The same balance pays for the Playground, the REST API, webhooks, the MCP server and an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. | Plan credits also work in Higgsfield's MCP and CLI. The developer API is a separate product with its own USD balance, which expires one year after you add it. |
| Video models | Kling 4.0, Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedance 2.5, LTX-2.5, LTX-2.3, MiniMax H3 | Seedance, Kling, Veo 3.1, Wan, MiniMax Hailuo, Grok and more, plus Higgsfield's own DoP camera moves. |

| To start | $5 in credits after email verification, no card. | Free plan with no monthly credits. Commercial use needs a paid plan. |
Higgsfield has a TrustScore of 4.0 from 5,332 reviews on Trustpilot, and 19% of them give one star. The same four problems come up again and again in those reviews. Each card says what reviewers report and how billing works on deAPI.
Reviewers report
One reviewer wrote "You can literally wait TWO HOURS for a SINGLE VIDEO GENERATION". Another managed "to generate just four videos" after about 16 hours. Higgsfield's terms allow it to throttle heavy users or move them to a slower queue. On deAPI each job has its own price, and rate limits per model are published in the docs.
Reviewers report
Plan credits reset every cycle and top-ups expire after 90 days, so a quiet month costs the full plan price. On deAPI paid credits stay on the balance while the account is active, and you top up only when you run low.
Reviewers report
Several reviews describe renewals charged after the user thought they had cancelled. Refunds are possible within 7 days of the first purchase if no credits were used. deAPI has no subscription, so there is no renewal to cancel.
Reviewers report
Reviewers describe jobs that "can still fail" after hours in the queue. On deAPI a failed job is normally refunded automatically. The job result then shows refunded: true and a price of $0.
Prices from the deAPI /price endpoints in November 2026. Kling 4.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5, Nano Banana 2 and GPT Image 2 are partner models. They need one top-up first, and their price is an estimate that settles when the job ends.
| Model | Output | Price |
|---|---|---|
| FLUX.2 Klein | Image, 1024×1024 | $0.0037 |
| Z-Image Turbo | Image, 1344×768 | $0.0095 |
| Nano Banana 2 | Image, 1024×1024 | about $0.08 |
| GPT Image 2, high quality | Image, 1024×1024 | about $0.21 |
| LTX-2.5 | Video, 5 s / 10 s at 1280×704 | $0.063 / $0.074 |
| MiniMax H3 | Video, 5 s / 10 s at 1344×768 | $0.145 / $0.219 |
| Veo 3.1 Fast | Video with sound, 8 s at 720p / 1080p | about $0.80 / $0.96 |
| Kling 4.0 | Video with sound, 5 s at 720p / 1080p | about $0.79 / $1.18 |
| Seedance 2.5 | Video, 5 s at 480p / 720p / 1080p | about $0.51 / $1.16 / $2.84 |
| Veo 3.1 | Video with sound, 8 s at 720p or 1080p | about $3.20 |
Veo costs less on deAPI than on Higgsfield's monthly plans. An 8-second Veo 3.1 Fast clip is 32 credits there, which is $1.57 to $2.25 on monthly Starter and Plus, against $0.80 at 720p on deAPI. An 8-second Veo 3.1 clip is 80 credits, $3.93 to $5.63, against $3.20 on deAPI. Nano Banana 2 is 2 credits, $0.10 to $0.14. On deAPI you pay per clip or image, and a month without use costs nothing.
deAPI runs Kling 4.0 and Veo 3.1, but not Wan, MiniMax Hailuo or Grok. If your look depends on one of them, Higgsfield has them in one app.
Higgsfield has camera-move presets, lipsync, face swap, Soul ID characters and studio templates. The deAPI Playground is a prompt, a model and settings.
If you use a plan's credits every month, or an unlimited window covers your volume, a subscription can cost less per clip than paying per job.
Verify your email and get $5 in credits, no card. That covers about 75 LTX-2.5 clips or 1,300 FLUX.2 Klein images.
Pick a model, paste the prompt you used on Higgsfield and see the price before you run it. Open the Playground.
The same models and balance work over REST with webhooks, or from Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT through the MCP server.
Sign up, verify your email and generate with $5 in free credits. You top up only when you need more.
