AI image generator, pay per image: $0.008 each, no subscription
If you make images in bursts, a monthly plan charges you in quiet months too. With Movapix you pay about $0.008 per finished image and nothing else: no subscription, no monthly reset, and a failed generation costs nothing. International top-ups are by USDT for now; card and PayPal are not available yet.
No Telegram or card needed. Charged only when a creation succeeds.
What pay-per-image means, in numbers
Pay-per-image means the meter runs only when a creation succeeds. You top up once, the credits sit in your wallet, and you spend them when you have something to make. A seller who makes 20 images in a launch week pays about $0.16; the same seller pays $0 in a week with no launch.
That rhythm is the whole point. A monthly plan is cheaper only if you use it every week, without fail. If your work comes in batches — a product drop, a campaign, a set of posts — paying per image keeps the quiet weeks free. Credits never expire, so a top-up in January is still there in June.
| You top up | Image credits | Video credits |
|---|---|---|
| $1 | 125 images | 41 videos |
| $2 | 250 images | 83 videos |
| $5 | 625 images | 208 videos |
| $10 | 1,250 images | 416 videos |
Before bonus credits. Every purchase adds bonus credits on top: at least +2, then +1% from $2 up to +5% from $50. Charged only on success; credits never expire.
How to pay per image, in four steps
Step 1 — write one clear sentence. Name the subject, the setting and the light. Copy a prompt and swap in your subject:
A pour-over coffee on a wooden cafe counter, ceramic cup, soft window light, blurred cafe shelves behind, warm neutral colours, product photographyA wildflower bouquet in a clear glass jar on a white table, bright daylight, plain wall behind, fresh natural colours, shop product photoA small wooden cabin beside a pine forest lake at dawn, mist over the water, warm light in one window, painterly illustration, no textStep 2 — match the ratio to the use (1:1, 4:3, 16:9). Step 3 — generate two or three variants and keep the cleanest. Step 4 — download at full resolution, or upscale a good image to 2x or 4x: see the upscale guide.
Pay-per-image against a monthly plan
The comparison only makes sense at a stated volume, so here it is at 20 images a month. Different models draw differently: this compares price for the same job, not equal quality.
| Tool | 20 images a month | How it is billed |
|---|---|---|
| Movapix | About $0.16 | Pay per finished image. No subscription; charged only on success. |
| Midjourney | About $10 a month | Basic plan, $10/month, counting 4 images per job; $0.05 per job. No free tier. |
| Leonardo AI | About $12 a month | Essential plan, $12/month, token-based. Cheaper than Movapix for basic images in volume. |

Before you spend a credit
- Check any text. AI models often misspell. Zoom in and read every letter; add long text afterwards in your design tool.
- Keep one look per set. Reuse the same light, surface and colour words so a batch reads as one set.
- Download at full resolution and check hands, edges and small details at 100% before publishing.
- Commercial use is allowed. Use your downloads in listings, your shop and ads, within the law and our content rules.
Honest limits, before you pay anything
- A generated image follows your description; it is not a photograph of a physical item, so check exact colours before printing.
- International top-ups are USDT only (TRC20 or BEP20, from 2 USDT). Card and PayPal are not available yet.
- Creations are private by default: no public feed, and your work joins the showcase only with your agreement.
- Credits never expire and are deducted only on success. An unused wallet balance can be refunded within 7 days of topping up.
- Questions first? Email [email protected] — a person reads it.
Frequently asked questions
How much does one AI image cost?
About $0.008 per finished image, before bonus credits. You are charged only when a creation succeeds, and a failed generation costs nothing.
Do I pay if a generation fails?
No. Credits are deducted only when a creation succeeds. If it fails, you keep the credit and can try again with a clearer prompt.
Do my credits expire?
No. Credits stay in your account until you use them, with no monthly plan and no end-of-month reset, which is why pay-per-image suits work in bursts.
Can I pay for images with USDT?
Yes. International top-ups are by USDT, from 2 USDT on TRC20 or BEP20. Card and PayPal are not available yet for international customers.
