Hunyuan Image v3 operates on JAI Portal's pay-as-you-go credit system, with costs determined by resolution, number of images, and generation settings. Standard square_hd outputs typically consume fewer credits than custom high-resolution requests. Compared to
Recraft V4 Pro Text to Image, Hunyuan offers competitive pricing for general-purpose image generation, though Recraft may cost slightly more due to its advanced vector and typography capabilities. For budget-conscious users generating high volumes,
Bytedance Seedream v5 Lite Text to Image provides a lighter-weight alternative with lower credit consumption. Check the model page for current per-generation credit costs, and remember that generating multiple images in a single request (up to 4) is more efficient than separate runs.
