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.

| BEN v2 Background Removal | Balanced | $0.025/megapixel |
