Recraft V4.1 gets its own, cheaper API pricing tier

Recraft pricing

Recraft gave its newest V4.1 models a separate, lower API tier: V4.1 raster dropped to $0.035 (from $0.04) and V4.1 Pro raster to $0.21 (from $0.25).

Before

V4.1 API priced identically to V4: $0.04 raster, $0.25 Pro raster, $0.08 vector.

After

V4.1 raster $0.035, V4.1 Pro raster $0.21; new V4.1 Utility / Utility Pro variants at the same rates.

Between the 2026-05-31 and 2026-06-30 API-pricing captures, Recraft broke its newest V4.1 model family out of the shared V4 pricing group and gave it a distinct, lower per-image API rate. Standard V4.1 raster generation is now $0.035 per image (35 API units) versus $0.04 for V4/V3, and V4.1 Pro raster is $0.21 (210 units) versus $0.25 for V4 Pro. New “V4.1 Utility” and “V4.1 Utility Pro” raster/vector variants were also added at the same rates as their V4.1 counterparts. Vector rates were unchanged ($0.08 standard, $0.30 Pro). Recraft Studio subscription prices (Free, Basic $12, Pro $20, Teams $22/seat) were not affected.

V4.1 models split into a separate, cheaper API tier

Recraft broke its newest V4.1 model family out of the shared V4 API pricing group into a distinct, lower tier: V4.1 raster dropped to $0.035 per image (from $0.04) and V4.1 Pro raster to $0.21 (from $0.25), with new V4.1 Utility / Utility Pro variants added at the same rates. Vector rates ($0.08 standard, $0.30 Pro) and every Studio subscription price (Free / Basic $12 / Pro $20 / Teams $22/seat) were unchanged - so the newest flagship raster is now priced below the previous generation.
