the sumRecovered on 14/9/2026 by changing route rather than by re-reading the same page. stableaudio.com still publishes only what a plan costs and how many credits it grants, and nothing about what a generation consumes - re-read in a real browser, the FAQ covers cancellation, renewal, refunds and rollover and never the rate. Stability AI's own developer platform publishes both halves in the open: '1 credit = $0.01' and, in the Audio table, 'Stable Audio 3.0 - generate up to six minutes high-quality audio - 26 credits'. The charge is per generation, not per second, so a one-minute track is one generation: 26 x $0.01 = $0.26. Same vendor, same model family, and a price stated in dollars - the route the file already uses for models resold through fal.ai.
the verdictSTEEP · priciest third for this operation
the catchStable Audio 2.5, which reaches three minutes, is 20 credits = $0.20 per generation. Since the price is flat per generation and the ceiling is six minutes, a six-minute track works out at $0.043 a minute - the per-minute cost falls the longer the track. The consumer app is a separate product and is priced by subscription: Solo $12/month for 660 credits, Session $30 / 1,800, Producer $90 / 6,000, Studio $199 / 14,000, credits do not roll over, and those credits cannot be converted to these because the app never states what a generation costs. Enterprise licence required above $1M revenue.
