Monthly plans on RapidAPI
Prefer a monthly subscription? The same APIs are on RapidAPI. A monthly fee includes a number of credits; requests over it are charged at the plan's overage price, and unused credits don't carry over. One credit is one image, or one page of a multi-page PDF. RapidAPI bills these plans and gives you a RapidAPI key; your api4ai balance can't be used there. Each API also has a free BASIC plan with 25 credits a month.

How paying works
- Pay as you go. Each image, or each page of a PDF, is charged from your balance at the API's price. No subscription and no monthly minimum.
- One balance for every API. Top up once and use any of the 16 APIs.
- Your balance never expires. Unused credit stays on your account.
- $5 free to start. Every new account gets $5 of credit to try the APIs on real images.
Top-up bonus
Top up from $9.99. Larger top-ups add bonus credit, which works on every API:
| Top-up | Bonus credit |
|---|---|
| $50 | +$3 |
| $250 | +$20 |
| $1,000 | +$100 |
Pay by card, PayPal or Google Pay (checkout by FastSpring). Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
Which one fits
- Pay as you go: usage that is uneven, seasonal or still growing; testing and early production; several APIs from one balance.
- A monthly plan on RapidAPI: steady, high volume on one API every month, if you already buy through RapidAPI.
- A volume price: steady volume on the portal from the volumes in the table.
Custom models and outputs
Need a model trained on your images, or a different output? Customization is quoted separately: a one-time setup fee plus a subscription for the custom work. Contact us
Car photos without code
CarBG by API4AI removes and replaces car backgrounds in the browser, on the Car Background Removal API, with the same login and balance.
FAQ
Does my balance expire?
No. Credit you top up, and bonus credit, stays on your account until you use it.
Can I use one balance for several APIs?
Yes. One balance pays for every API at that API's price per image or PDF page.
What can I do with the $5 free credit?
Call any API until it's used up. The table shows what $5 buys on each one, for example 1,000 background removals or 166 car photos.
How do I pay?
Top up in the portal from $9.99 by card, PayPal or Google Pay. Top-ups of $50, $250 and $1,000 add $3, $20 and $100 of bonus credit. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
Can I use the results commercially?
Yes. The results are yours to use in your own products, ads and listings (Terms of Use).
What is the difference between the portal and RapidAPI?
The portal is pay as you go from one balance that never expires. RapidAPI sells monthly plans with a set number of credits (one credit per image or PDF page), billed by RapidAPI with its own key.
How do volume prices work?
Above the volumes shown for each API, we offer high-volume discounts. Contact us with the API and your monthly volume, and we'll send you a volume price.
