Pay-per-use API that reaches OpenAI, Google, ByteDance, Kling, and Hailuo image and video models through one endpoint and one key.
Runbase is a unified API for AI image and video generation: one endpoint and one API key reach models from OpenAI, Google, ByteDance, Kling, and Hailuo instead of separate accounts and SDKs for each. Pricing is entirely pay-per-use, priced per image or per second of video depending on the model, with failed generation tasks refunded automatically. It targets developers and small companies who want generation capability without negotiating separate contracts with each model vendor, and includes a browser-based playground for testing a model before writing integration code. No company name, founders, or headquarters location is disclosed anywhere on the site.
Pay-per-use with no subscription: the cheapest listed rate is $0.03 per image (Nano Banana); other models range up to roughly $0.66 per second of video (Seedance 2.0) or per-clip pricing like $0.33 for a 720p Veo 3.1 Fast clip.
Use tool ↗Runbase's value proposition is straightforward: reach several image and video generation models through one API and one bill instead of separate vendor accounts, at rates the site claims run well under paying each provider directly. Pure pay-per-use pricing is easy to test cheaply but can add up unpredictably at production volume without a spending cap in place.
Watch out: There is no subscription or spending cap visible, so per-unit costs across many models and requests can accumulate quickly without the user tracking usage manually.
