Generate
The credit cost is shown before you generate, and it is the same with or without a style.
What it costs
A style is free to use: it only changes the prompt, so the price is the normal price of the generation.
For example, one Seedream 4.5 image is 2 credits and a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 720p is 15 credits, with or without a style.
Questions
What is ukiyo-e?
Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese woodblock printing from the Edo period, known for flat colour, bold outlines and scenes of landscapes and daily life.
Does a style cost extra credits?
No. A style only adds words to the prompt that is sent, so you pay the normal price: for example 2 credits for a Seedream 4.5 image.
Does the style replace my prompt?
No. Your prompt stays exactly as you wrote it. The style is added on top to set the look.
Can I switch styles on the same prompt?
Yes. Keep the prompt, pick a different style and generate again to compare looks side by side.
