Usage-based per model against a prepaid top-up balance, no subscription. Image models start at $0.015 per 1K image (Nano Banana 2.1), video is billed per second from about $0.02 to $0.675 for 1080p Seedance 2.5, and text models are billed per million tokens, several shown at a discount.
Use tool ↗About SJolt
SJolt lets developers test image, video, image-to-video, and image-editing models from providers like ByteDance, Google, xAI, MiniMax, and Alibaba in a browser playground, then call the same models through an API using one consolidated balance. The pitch is moving from model comparison straight into production without re-integrating a different SDK for each vendor once a model is chosen. Requests are billed per use against usage-based rates that vary by resolution and model, with curl, JavaScript, and Python examples provided for integration; no company name or headquarters is disclosed on the site.

Pros & cons of SJolt
SJolt's playground-to-production pitch is aimed at developers who want to compare models side by side before writing integration code, then keep using the same API call once they've picked a winner. Like the other model-aggregation gateways in this batch, its value depends entirely on uptime and pricing staying competitive with going directly to each provider.
Pros
- Playground lets you compare model output before writing any integration code
- Same request pattern carries over from testing to production API calls
- Broad model coverage across five-plus providers in one place
- Code samples provided in curl, JavaScript, and Python
Cons
- No free tier -- testing in the playground still appears to consume paid balance
- No company name, founding date, or headquarters disclosed anywhere on the site
- Per-second video pricing varies widely by model, making cost hard to predict upfront
Best for
- Developers comparing video/image model output and cost before committing
- Teams wanting one billing relationship across several generation model vendors
- Prototypes that may swap models frequently as new ones ship
Not for
- Users who only need one specific model long-term and can integrate it directly
- Anyone requiring a named, verifiable company for procurement
