Higgsfield MCP uses a credit system rather than per-call API billing. This guide explains what's free, what costs, and how to avoid surprises.
Free to start
New Higgsfield accounts receive free credits. The MCP connector itself has no separate fee and requires no API key — you just sign in with your account.
What costs credits
Every generation — image or video — is billed against your Higgsfield credit balance, using the same system as the main platform.
- Images typically finish in a few seconds.
- Videos take longer and cost more, scaling with duration and model.
- Higher volume, longer durations, and some models need a paid plan.
When to upgrade
If you generate frequently, need longer clips, or want broader model access, a paid plan becomes worthwhile. You can check balance and top up from the connector's billing tools.
