FLUX (Black Forest Labs) is sold strictly on usage. The headline line is "Pay as you go. No subscriptions, no seat fees. Only pay for what you generate." There are no monthly tiers, no free quota, and no seat math — your spend equals what the API actually renders.

Video is billed per second of output (a "Video Second"). The cheapest listed rate is FLUX 3 Video Draft at $0.06/s, available only in HD. Full-quality FLUX 3 Video ranges from $0.17/s at HD Text/Image → Video up to $0.95/s at UHD Video → Video. Clips cap at 20 seconds, audio is included at no extra charge, and partial seconds round up to the next whole second.
