Pay for WaveSpeedAI

WaveSpeedAI uses pay-per-use pricing: no subscription and no monthly fee. Every model has its own price, shown on its model page, and the cost of a request depends on the model, the output resolution, the video length and how many outputs you ask for. The Run button shows an estimate before you generate, and the API has a price endpoint so you can check the cost of a request first.

You pay by adding credits to your balance on the Billing page, in an amount you choose. WaveSpeedAI says paid credits never expire. They are not refundable, but requests that fail because of a system error, a failed request or a server-side timeout are refunded to your balance automatically.

Your first top-up also matters for speed. New accounts start at the Bronze level, limited to 5 predictions a minute and 2 tasks at once. Any successful top-up lifts the account to Silver (500 predictions a minute, 300 concurrent tasks); a single top-up of $1,000 to $4,999 unlocks Gold and $5,000 or more unlocks Ultra.

There is an optional auto top-up that recharges your balance when it falls below a threshold you set, with a monthly limit you can configure. It is off by default. If you turn it on, keep the Mehbit card funded so each automatic charge goes through.

Eligible new accounts receive $1 in trial credit without adding a card, though some premium models are not available on trial credit. Teams with high volume can ask WaveSpeedAI for an enterprise plan with volume discounts, higher GPU limits and SLAs.

On the Mehbit side, issuing a virtual card takes about 5 minutes. You keep your funds in USDT, move the amount you need onto the card (a 5% card-load fee applies, and each wallet deposit costs 2 USDT), then top up WaveSpeedAI by card. Each card transaction costs $0.35 from your wallet, declines included.
