# API Pricing

> Understand Mixfont API credits and request costs

Mixfont API usage is priced with prepaid credits. Buy credits through the API console, then spend them when you submit font generation and font recognition requests. 1 credit = 0.01 USD.

Credits belong to the workspace that owns your API key. Each request must have enough available credits before the API accepts it.

## Credit costs

| Request          | Option                                                    | Credits |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| Font generation  | `standard` glyph set (72 glyphs for English)              | 20      |
| Font generation  | `extended` glyph set (319 glyphs for all Latin languages) | 50      |
| Font recognition | Each run                                                  | 5       |

If your workspace does not have enough credits, the API returns a `402` error.

## Choose a glyph set

Use `standard` when English support is enough for fast exploration, prototypes, headings, logos, and first drafts. It generates 72 glyphs for English with basic letters, numbers, and punctuation.

Use `extended` when you need production candidates that support Latin-language text beyond English. It generates 319 glyphs for all Latin languages, including special characters, costs more credits, and may take 2-3 minutes to complete.
