description: 'Reconciled plans for the Leonardo.AI Production API. As of 2024+, the API is on a Pay-As-You-Go
  USD-denominated model that replaced the older Basic / Standard / Pro / Custom API tier subscriptions; legacy
  app subscription plans remain available for the in-app product. Per-generation costs vary by model and
  resolution — use the /pricing-calculator endpoint or the in-app calculator for exact figures.'

      credits.

        description: Per-generation USD cost varies by model, resolution, num_images, and feature toggles
          (Alchemy, PhotoReal, Universal Upscaler, etc.). Use the Pricing Calculator endpoint for pre-flight
          quotes.
    notes:
      - Legacy fixed API subscriptions (Basic ~$9/mo for ~3,500 credits, Standard ~$49 for 25k credits, Pro,
        Custom) have been retired in favour of PAYG for new sign-ups. PAYG rates are reported to be ~24-42%
        cheaper than the prior Standard/Basic tiers.
      - In-app (non-API) consumer subscriptions — Free, Apprentice, Artisan, Maestro — remain on the consumer
        product surface but do not grant API access.
