Price a listing
Pricing units, declaring a price, the notice a rise needs, and what customers pay.
- Before you start
- A provider your team operates, after a claim is handed over.
- The team owner role.
- You'll end with
- A price on each of your listings, and a clear date for when each change reaches customers.
Every listing has a price in credits per unit. A credit is $0.01. This guide covers the units, how to declare a price, and when a new price reaches customers.
Who can set a price#
You declare prices for the providers your team operates — one you have claimed and been handed over. Until then Sushibelt prices the listing, and the Pricing page says None of your providers has a listing yet, so there is nothing to price. Only a team owner can change a price.
Pricing units#
Each listing is priced in one unit. The unit is fixed per listing: a price change keeps it. To move a listing to another unit, contact Sushibelt — it is a separate change, not a new price.
| Unit | Description |
|---|---|
run | One call to your API. |
token | One token of text in or out, for language models. |
character | One character of input text, for speech. |
second | One second of generated audio or video. |
megapixel | One million pixels of generated image. |
step | One step of a customer's run — one node that ran. |
usd_micro | One millionth of a US dollar of the provider's own cost — a pass-through of what each run really cost. |
Warning: price per run or per step on your own endpoint
When runs go to an endpoint you run, Sushibelt counts one unit per call: it does not read a token, character or second count from your response. So a provider you operate is priced per run or per step. The one exception is a provider Sushibelt already prices from its own published rates; its listings stay in usd_micro. Sushibelt checks this before a handover, and will not hand over a provider whose unit it cannot count.
Declare a price#
- Open your storefront and select Pricing.
- Under Your prices, each listing shows its Current price. Enter the new price in credits per unit. It must be more than 0, with at most 6 decimal places.
- Before you commit, the form tells you when the price takes effect: Takes effect immediately, or a date 7 days out for a rise.
- Confirm. The answer is Price updated for an immediate change, or Rise scheduled for and the date.
Rises and cuts#
- A rise takes effect 7 days after you declare it. Until then customers pay the current price, and the Pricing table shows the waiting rise (for example
rises to 9 cr / run on 2026-10-07). Customers see it too, with its date, where they see your price: on Discover and on a node in the canvas. - A cut, or the same price again, takes effect at once.
- The first price you declare on a listing is compared with the price customers pay today — Sushibelt's rate. If yours is higher, it is a rise and waits out the notice. A listing that is free today counts as priced at 0.
- You can change a listing's price once in any 7 days, up or down. The price you declared with your claim counts as your first change.
Which price a run pays#
A step is charged the price in effect when it was sent to your API. A price that changes while the step runs does not change what that step costs.
What customers pay#
- Your price plus Sushibelt's markup. The Pricing table shows, per listing, what a step costs now and Sushibelt's cut. You earn your price; Sushibelt keeps the markup.
- A per-run minimum, on some listings. Where one applies to Sushibelt's rate, the table notes it, for example
at least 2 cr per run. - Their own key. A customer who brings their own key for your provider pays you directly, through your own billing; Sushibelt then charges them only a small fee for running the step, and you earn nothing on it from Sushibelt.
Customers are charged per step, as each step finishes. A step that fails is not charged, and earns you nothing.
If a price is refused#
