No per-image price list outside the logged-in calculator.\n\n**Recraft API.** Native SVG vector generation, not traced raster. No changelog and no error reference.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Leonardo.Ai API\n\n1. Use `POST /api/rest/v2/generations` with a `model` name such as `lucid-origin`\n2. Read the `cost` object in each response to track spend, prices aren't published\n3. Send `quality`, not `mode`. `mode` was retired on 2026-05-04\n4. Set a webhook callback URL on the key instead of polling long jobs\n5. Check the deprecations page before relying on a third-party model, removals follow the provider\n\n### Recraft API\n\n1. Use `/v1/images/generations/vector` when the task must return SVG, so the server rejects raster models\n2. Ask for `b64_json` or `multipart` if you can't fetch the URL within a day\n3. Name `recraftv4_1_flash` for drafts at $0.007. The default `recraftv4_1` costs $0.035\n4. Stay under 100 images a minute and 5 requests a second per user\n5. Point the OpenAI SDK at `https://external.api.recraft.ai/v1`, but expect some parameters to be ignored\n\n## Other comparisons with Leonardo.Ai API or Recraft API\n\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-recraft.md)\n- [fal image models vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [fal image models vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Leonardo.Ai API vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leonardo-ai-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [Leonardo.Ai API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leonardo-ai-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Leonardo.Ai API vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leonardo-ai-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n- [OpenAI Image API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-image-api-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Recraft API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/recraft-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Recraft API vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/recraft-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n",
