Service point

Free quota

  • AI portrait training: a free quota of 5 service points.

  • AI portrait creation: a free quota of 200 service points.

  • Image quality check: free of charge.

  • Facial attribute analysis (optional): a free quota of 200 service points. For more information, see multimedia analysis.

Deduction priority: Free quota > resource plans > pay-as-you-go

Once your free quota and resource plans are exhausted, additional usage is charged on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Pay-as-you-go

You are billed for your actual usage after you use the service.

Resource plans

Purchase discounted resource plans in advance. During settlement, usage is deducted from your plans first.

  • Validity: A resource plan takes effect immediately upon purchase and is valid for one year.

  • Offset rule: A resource plan's quota is used first to offset fees. Once the quota is used up, excess usage is charged on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Billing methods

Resource plan

  • Resource plans are prepaid packages. You can purchase a plan of a specific size based on your estimated usage. A resource plan is valid for one year from the date of purchase. During the validity period, consumed service points are first deducted from the resource plan's quota. Any unused quota in the plan automatically expires at the end of the validity period.

  • If you purchase multiple resource plans for the same service point type, the plan with the earliest expiration date is used first. If multiple plans have the same expiration date, the system randomly selects one for deduction.

Note

Actual prices are subject to the final billing statement.

Pay-as-you-go

After you activate the AI Portrait service, it defaults to the pay-as-you-go billing method. This post-paid method charges you for the service points you consume, with no upper usage limit. We apply tiered pricing based on your total consumption within a calendar month. When your usage reaches a new pricing tier, the unit price for that tier applies. We deduct fees from your account hourly.
