- From $0.25 a second, and you see the exact price before you press go. A run that fails costs nothing, there is no subscription, and your first top-up has no card fee.
- Can I use the result commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Can I run it from code?
- Yes. Developers run it as leap/throwback-video through the Leap API, at the same price, with the same choices.
