Higgsfield just opened a pay-per-use API, and it changes the math on whether you need a subscription at all.
Here is the number that matters. An 8-second Seedance 2.5 clip on the API costs $1.24. The same clip on their Plus subscription, EUR 59/mo for 1200 credits, costs EUR 3.54 per clip at the discounted credit rate, or EUR 6.29 at the full credit rate. The API is less than half the subscription price per clip, even at the optimistic discount.
You pay per second of generated video. No monthly fee, no credit packs. The API also undercuts Fal on every model they share: Kling 3.0 Pro is 50% cheaper, Seedance 2.5 is 30% cheaper, Kling 3.0 4K is 50% cheaper. 10 of 21 video models are live now.
