Atlas Cloud API pricing: free credits, calculator prices and a cheaper option
Atlas Cloud API pricing for Seedance, Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2 from its own calculator, what its free credits cover, and a cheaper option.
Read as MarkdownAtlas Cloud API pricing is pay-as-you-go: images are charged per image, video per second, and several video models are priced from token-based estimates, so the clearest way to see a cost is Atlas Cloud's own price calculator. This guide reads that calculator for Seedance, Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2 on October 5, 2026, explains what Atlas Cloud says about free credits, and compares the result with SeedRouter's rates for the same models.
SeedRouter is the cheaper option compared here, and it is our product. The tables only include models and tiers where SeedRouter's rate was lower on that date. Both sides change prices and run promotions, so treat this as a dated snapshot.
Third-party prices in this guide were checked on October 5, 2026.
How does Atlas Cloud API pricing work?
Atlas Cloud sells one API for image, video, audio and language models, plus GPU rental. Media models are billed per image or per second of video, and its calculator shows an estimate before you run a request. Many of the calculator prices on October 5, 2026 already included a promotional discount, which Atlas Cloud labels on each model.
Does Atlas Cloud give free credits?
Atlas Cloud advertises free credits for trying its models; beyond those it is pay-as-you-go. It did not state a fixed amount on the pages read for this guide. Every new SeedRouter account starts with a small free balance, listed on the pricing page, and SeedRouter credits never expire.
What does the Atlas Cloud API cost for Seedance?
The Atlas Cloud figures are its calculator total for a 10-second clip at default settings, divided by ten. The SeedRouter figures are the per-second prices for 16:9 video on its model pages. Both were read on October 5, 2026.
| Model and resolution | Atlas Cloud | SeedRouter | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5, 480p | $0.140/s | $0.117/s | −16% |

| Seedance 2.0, 720p | $0.194/s | $0.172/s | −11% |
| Seedance 2.0, 1080p | $0.437/s | $0.426/s | −3% |
| Seedance 2.0, 4K | $0.976/s | $0.883/s | −10% |
A 10-second 720p Seedance 2.5 clip comes to about $3.02 on the Atlas Cloud calculator. On SeedRouter it costs about 13% less.
What does the Atlas Cloud API cost for Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2?
Atlas Cloud lists Nano Banana Pro in a standard tier and a cheaper "developer" tier, and meters GPT Image 2 by tokens, so its GPT Image 2 figures below are calculator estimates at the default medium quality. SeedRouter's standard model IDs charge one flat price per delivered image at any size.
| Model and size | Atlas Cloud | SeedRouter | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano Banana Pro, 1K / 2K | $0.14 (developer tier $0.049) | $0.03 | −79% (−39% vs developer) |
| Nano Banana Pro, 4K | $0.24 (developer tier $0.084) | $0.03 | −88% (−64% vs developer) |
| GPT Image 2, 1024×1024 | $0.0577 | $0.02625 | −55% |
| GPT Image 2, 2048×2048 | $0.1120 | $0.02625 | −77% |
| GPT Image 2, 3840×2160 | $0.1051 | $0.02625 | −75% |
At 500 Nano Banana Pro images in 4K, that is $120 at Atlas Cloud's standard tier and $42 at its developer tier. SeedRouter's flat rate costs about a third of the developer total.

Frequently asked questions
Is Atlas Cloud AI legit?
Atlas Cloud is an operating API platform with public model pages, documentation and a price calculator, and it states that it holds SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications. Those are its own statements rather than an independent audit, so run a small paid test before moving production traffic.
Is Atlas Cloud AI safe?
Atlas Cloud says it encrypts data at rest and in transit and offers private cloud deployment on dedicated infrastructure. Check its retention and content policies against your requirements before sending sensitive inputs.
Is Atlas Cloud AI good?
For breadth it is strong: Atlas Cloud serves image, video, audio and language models through one API and also rents GPUs. Whether it is good value depends on the model; the tables above show the tiers where SeedRouter cost less on October 5, 2026.
What is Atlas Cloud AI?
Atlas Cloud is an AI inference and API platform with a single API for many media and language models, a price calculator, and GPU rental. SeedRouter is narrower: one API key for a curated set of image, video and language models, with no GPU rental.
