Why Callirra
Your work should not expire overnight.
Model access is a commodity — everyone resells the same endpoints. What is not a commodity is what happens around the generation: whether the file is still there tomorrow, whether the next model can use it, and whether the price you were shown is the price you are charged.
The five questions worth asking any provider
The right-hand column is not a claim about anyone in particular. It is what to go and check before you commit a workflow to a platform — including ours.
| Question | Callirra | What to check elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| How long does my work survive? | Your generations and uploads stay in your asset library for months, with a stable URL you can open or save at any time. Nothing expires while you are asleep. | Does the output URL expire, and how long do you have to download before it is gone? Most platforms answer in hours. |
| Can I use one model's output as another model's input? | One library, every model. An image you generated or uploaded is available as a reference for any model on the platform — no re-uploading, no re-hosting, no drift between what you made and what the next model sees. | Do I have to download and re-upload between models, and does a re-hosted URL behave the same as an original? |
| What does it actually cost? | Every model and every tier is published in credits and in dollars on one page, from the same table the generator quotes from. No hidden tier, no "contact us", no per-generation markup you only discover on the invoice. | Is the rate card public, and is it the same number I am billed? |
| Can I use real faces? | Yes. Choose the separate Seedance wide-limit route when broader moderation or a real-face reference matters more than perfect instruction following; its supported settings and quote are shown separately. | Does the site offer a separate wide-limit route with broader moderation and real-face references? |
| Do I have to move my whole workflow here? | No. The same account works from the web generator, the HTTP API, the CLI and the MCP server, so a script you already have keeps working and the UI is there when you want it. | Is there an API I can reach with the same account and the same credits? |
What that looks like in practice
- A character that stays the same character. Generate a reference once, keep it in the library, and hand it to any model for the next shot. The face does not come back looking like a cousin because you switched endpoints.
- A catalogue that does not lie to you. Every model shows the resolutions, durations and switches it really supports. When a model gains a tier, it appears with its price on the same day.
- A price you can check before you spend. Credits and dollars sit next to each other on the rate card, and one credit is one cent — the arithmetic is not hidden behind a tier name.
Questions
How long exactly do you keep my files?
Months, and we say months rather than "forever" on purpose. There is no expiry rule in the product that deletes your work after a set period, and no plan to add one — but a storage promise with no ceiling is a promise nobody can keep indefinitely, and we would rather state a floor we will always meet than a superlative we might not.
Can I get my files out?
Every asset has its own stable URL you can open or save at any time, from the library or straight from a generation. There is no lock-in: the files are yours, in standard image and video formats.
Which models are available?
Every model on the platform is listed with its tiers, its options and its price. The generator only ever shows switches a model genuinely supports — it will not offer you a control that quietly does nothing.
