Creator Billing vs Developer Billing

How Creator Billing differs from Developer Billing.

Creator Billing

  • No provider API keys are required from the user.

Developer Billing

  • OpenRouter and ElevenLabs usage is billed directly to the user's provider accounts.
  • Developer Billing unlocks lower platform pricing and includes app entitlements for music and 4K, but provider costs remain separate.
  • Uploaded-audio transcription is handled by Topic to Video and is not charged to the user's OpenRouter or ElevenLabs accounts.
