Higgsfield AI is hard to price from outside. The pricing page showed euros to us, so USD prices for Starter, Plus and Ultra are unconfirmed. An account is required before you can generate, credits drain quickly on high-resolution models, and many features rely on third-party models, so output changes when those models change. Unlimited models apply only on higgsfield.ai, not MCP/CLI, Canvas or Supercomputer. Prices checked on 2026-10-01.
Runway Standard is $15 per user per month with 625 credits that do not roll over, and it has a free plan. Kling AI Standard is reported at $10 per month for 660 credits, with no free tier in our data. Luma Plus is $30 per month with 10,000 credits, commercial use rights and no free tier. Leonardo.Ai starts at Essential, $12 per month, with private generations, and also has a free daily token plan.
