What a batch costs

The same batches priced on each, both ways round:

Which one fits

WaveSpeed hosts many more models, including LoRA training, audio, 3D and its own accelerated open models, which Revana does not sell. For a model that is not in the tables above, compare the two price lists before you move it. Revana fits best when your spend is Seedance, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2 or Grok Imagine Video, or when you want failed and refused jobs not to cost anything. Each job goes to the lowest-cost route for that model and setting and moves to another route if that one fails.

Switching from WaveSpeed

Create a key on the sign-up page, add credit, and send the job to Revana instead. The model name and the input fields are in the docs; for Seedance 2.5 at 1080p the call is:

curl https://api.revana.si/v1/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REVANA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2.5",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "A barista pours latte art in slow motion, morning light through the café window.",
      "resolution": "1080p",
      "duration": 10,
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
    },
    "max_cost_usd": 6
  }'

The response carries a job id; poll it, or pass a webhook, and the finished file's link comes back with cost_usd, the exact amount charged. Agents can make the same call through the MCP server, and the model catalogue lists every model and setting.
