Video pricing in its native unit

Video generation is billed by successful output seconds or generation tokens, depending on the provider. Failed generations are not billed where the upstream provider reports no billable output.

Sources verified September 17, 2026: MiniMax H3 pricing, Wan 3.0 international pricing, and BytePlus ModelArk pricing. Wan USD rates are fixed launch rates rounded from the Singapore international list using the September 16 reference exchange rate. MiniMax H3 bills input video at the selected output-resolution rate; audio is free and the first five reference images are free. Seedance charges actual generation tokens reported by the provider.

Pricing is not the whole decision

XinoAPI is designed for users outside mainland China and routes requests to third-party model providers with different data policies.

ControlCurrent policyWhy it matters
Mainland China accessNot permitted for registration, purchase, dashboard access, or API use.Maintains a clear cross-border service boundary for Chinese LLM inference export.
Prompt/response storageNo plaintext content retention by default; billing uses metadata such as model, tokens, status, and timestamps.Reduces data exposure for production agent and application workloads.
Provider termsUsers must comply with each upstream provider's terms, data policy, and regional restrictions.XinoAPI is a gateway, not the developer or operator of upstream models.
Sensitive dataUse the Privacy SDK for local PII and secret redaction before sending prompts.Provider-side policies vary, especially for models operated in mainland China.

See the Compliance Center and Security Whitepaper for the full policy.

Pricing questions, answered

It depends on the model and route. DeepSeek V4-Flash, DeepSeek V4-Pro, and GLM-5.2 are currently 10% below the comparable Baidu Qianfan International list rate. See the published rate card for every model's final price.
No. You pay per token at the published rate. There's no API request fee separate from tokens, no inactivity fee, and credits never expire. The minimum Stripe top-up is $20 to keep card processing overhead sustainable.
XinoAPI publishes the final per-model token rate and adds no separate XinoAPI top-up fee. Three featured models are currently 10% below the comparable Baidu Qianfan International list rate. Compare the final rate, model version, route, and any purchase fee before choosing a provider.
Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx) via Stripe. Bank transfers (ACH, wire) are available for enterprise top-ups above $500. We do not accept cryptocurrency, Alipay, or WeChat Pay.
No. Credits never expire on any plan. Unused credits remain in your account indefinitely.
Yes, within 30 days of purchase and provided no more than 10% of the credit has been consumed. Contact support@xinoapi.com with your account email and order ID.
No. The currently published XinoAPI rates for DeepSeek V4-Flash, DeepSeek V4-Pro, and GLM-5.2 are fixed per-token rates. Internal upstream cost schedules do not change the customer-facing rate shown here.
It depends on the model and cache status. At the current DeepSeek V4-Flash output rate, $1 buys about 3.97M output tokens. Cache-hit input is billed separately at the lower rate shown in the table.
No. If an upstream provider returns a 5xx error or the request fails before the model generates output, you're not charged. Rate limit errors (429) and your own malformed requests (4xx) also don't consume credits.
Yes. The XinoAPI Privacy SDK is MIT-licensed and free for any use, including with other LLM providers. Install from PyPI with pip install xinoapi-privacy.
Yes. Open-source maintainers and students can apply for $20/month in free credits by emailing community@xinoapi.com with a link to your project or student ID.
Per 1M tokens, V4-Flash is $0.126 input, $0.0252 cache-hit input, and $0.252 output. V4-Pro is $1.521 input, $0.126 cache-hit input, and $3.042 output. Each is 10% below the matching Baidu Qianfan International list rate verified on September 17, 2026.
Use deepseek-v4-flash for general tasks (chat, RAG, code completion) and deepseek-v4-pro for flagship reasoning, planning, and code review. Use explicit V4 model IDs in new projects; avoid relying on legacy DeepSeek aliases.
Compare the input and output mix for your workload. DeepSeek V4-Flash is currently $0.126 input and $0.252 output per 1M tokens, with cache-hit input at $0.0252.
