Models and price
Motif picks the Model for the Tier. Prices are per image where a Model has one; any other shows how it is billed. A rate that depends on the size of the file or the length of the clip is a rate, not a total, so check it with a dry run.
| Model | Chosen at | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kling v3 Pro | Balanced | $0.11/sec |
| Kling v3 Turbo Pro | Fast | $0.14/sec |
Dry run
Check the cost before you spend. The output path is where the file would go.
