Lumenfall offers transparent, usage-based pricing with two billing modes.

​
Billing modes

​
Prepaid

Add funds to your account and pay as you go. Requests are charged against your balance in close to real-time.
  • Balance check: If your balance becomes low, every request validates sufficient balance. This adds slight latency to the request. The threshold for this behavior varies based on your recent usage.
  • Auto top-up: Optionally configure automatic refills when balance is low.
Manage your balance on the Credits page.

​
Postpaid (invoice billing)

Generate now, pay later. You receive a monthly invoice for your usage.
  • Credit limit: Based on your account history
  • Invoicing: Monthly billing cycle
Contact support@lumenfall.ai to request invoice billing.

​
Pricing

Pricing varies by model and is calculated per request. Check the model catalog for current pricing details.
Pricing in the model catalog and from the cost estimation endpoint is approximate. Effective pricing is calculated after the request is run, because it depends on outputs.

​
Cost estimation

Use dry run mode to estimate costs before generating. Add ?dryRun=true to any request to get a cost estimate without executing it. See the Cost estimation API reference for details and response format.

​
Insufficient balance errors

If your prepaid balance is too low, requests return a 402 error: 
{
  "error": {
    "message": "Insufficient balance",
    "type": "billing_error",
    "code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE"
  }
}
To resolve:
  1. Add funds to your account
  2. Enable auto top-up to prevent future interruptions
  3. Consider switching to postpaid billing for uninterrupted service
