Ask question about credit and basic paln and plus plan

API General Questions
1
  1. How can I determine which plan (Basic or Plus) my account is currently on? Is there an API endpoint to check this?
  2. I noticed that, even though I am using a Free account, the response from https://image-api.photoroom.com/v1/account shows 10 subscriptions. Could you please explain what these subscriptions represent and how they apply to a Free account?
  3. If I upgrade my account from Free to Plus, how will the response from https://image-api.photoroom.com/v1/account change?
    Specifically:
  • What fields indicate available credits vs. subscriptions?
  • When making API calls, which credits are used first: available credits or subscription credits?
  • Which type of credit (available or subscription) should I display to end users in my app?
  1. Is it possible to use the Basic plan for calling the API https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit?
    If so, how is the credit consumption calculated for this endpoint under the Basic plan?
  2. Regarding credit display in our application:
    6.Should we show users the available credits or the subscription credits* as their remaining balance?
    We want to make sure we’re displaying the most relevant and accurate value for the end user.
  3. For the GET https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit endpoint:
    Which plan would you recommend our users subscribe to — Basic plan or Plus plan — in order to use this endpoint effectively?
    We’d like to provide clear guidance to our customers on the best plan for their needs.

Hi @hieudm!

  1. If you head into your API Dashboard, it will tell you which plan you are currently active on.
  2. Do you have multiple API keys created by chance? This would also be visible under your API Dashboard.
  3. Your API Dashboard will show your remaining credits in a chart, alongside a visible number. However you can always call this endpoint Photoroom Image Editing & Background Removal API Reference | Photoroom to check your account details. All ‘available/subscription’ credits are pooled together.
  4. Yes, however * if you are on the Basic plan, a call to the Image Editing API will consume 5 images
  1. Could you expand further on this point?
  2. If you plan to only make calls to the background removal API, the Basic plan is a better fit. If you’d like to include AI features, and so forth, the Plus plan is better. You can see our documentations here for breakdown on features: Image Editing API (Plus plan) | Photoroom API Documentation

Hi,

Subscription will show the available amount of credits that you would have purchased at the beginning of your cycle (In this case, 10 free credits). The Available field will show how much you have left to use.

Let me know if anything is unclear?

Best,
