Stability AI: Stable Diffusion and Stable Audio

Stability AI is the company behind Stable Diffusion. Today it sells three things: open-weight image, audio and 3D models you can run yourself, free under $1M in annual revenue; a developer API at $0.01 a credit; and Stable Audio, a music app from $12 a month. Its video model, Stable Video Diffusion, left the API in July 2025 and now runs only on your own hardware. The open models are free to build on, but Trustpilot reviewers mostly complain about billing after cancelling and silent support. SeedVideo AI is a ready-to-use video generator built around Seedance, with one-time credit packs. Try SeedVideo AI For Free Now!

Quick answer

Is Stability AI worth it?

Stability AI is a UK and US company that makes Stable Diffusion 3.5 image models, Stable Audio 3.0 music models and 3D models, released as open weights. Individuals and businesses under $1M in annual revenue can self-host them free under its Community License; larger companies need an Enterprise license. Its API charges $0.01 a credit, from 2.5 credits for an SD 3.5 Flash image to 8 for Stable Image Ultra, and Stable Audio plans run from free to $199 a month. It no longer offers hosted video: the Stable Video Diffusion API closed on July 24, 2025. Trustpilot rates stability.ai 1.8 from 16 reviews. SeedVideo AI is a hosted Seedance video generator.

Key Features of Stability AI

Stability AI is a model maker first: most of what it sells is models to download, license or call by API, plus one consumer app for music. These are its main products and where SeedVideo AI fits next to each.

Stable Diffusion 3.5: Open-Weight Image Models

Stable Diffusion 3.5 is Stability AI’s current image family. Large is the 8-billion-parameter flagship for professional work at 1 megapixel, Large Turbo makes images in four steps, and Medium is built to run on consumer hardware. The older SDXL and the one-step SDXL Turbo are still offered.

The weights can be downloaded and self-hosted under the Community License, used through the API, or run on cloud partners such as Amazon Bedrock. That openness lets anyone fine-tune the models or build LoRAs and tools on top; it also means you set up the hardware and interface yourself.

Developer API for Image Generation, Editing and Upscaling

The Stability AI API sells image generation per call: Stable Image Ultra, built on SD 3.5 Large, at 8 credits ($0.08), SD 3.5 Large at 6.5, Large Turbo at 4, Medium at 3.5, Flash at 2.5 and Stable Image Core at 3. Edit services cover erase, inpaint, outpaint, background removal, search and replace or recolor, and background replacement with relighting.

Upscalers run from Fast (4x, up to 4 megapixels, 2 credits) to Conservative (40) and Creative (60), which rebuilds low-quality images at 4K. Control services guide a new image from a sketch, a structure or a style reference. Stability says every API call is filtered for unsafe content and outputs are C2PA-signed; the rate limit is 150 requests every 10 seconds.

Stable Audio 3.0: Music App, DAW Plugin and Open Models

Stable Audio is now Stability AI’s main consumer product and leads its home page. Stable Audio 3.0 makes full tracks up to six minutes long at 44.1 kHz stereo, transforms uploaded audio with a prompt, and can rework or extend part of a track. Stability says the models are trained only on licensed music, from the AudioSparx library.

You can use it on stableaudio.com, in a VST3 and AU plugin for Mac with tempo sync and drag-to-track (Windows is listed as coming soon), or through the API at 8 credits per generation. The 3.0 Medium and Small models have open weights and can run on your own computer.

Stable Video Diffusion: Self-Hosted Only Since 2025

Stable Video Diffusion is Stability AI’s video model. Its page lists text-to-video, 14 or 25 frames at frame rates from 3 to 30 per second, and generation in two minutes or less, which makes clips of a few seconds without sound.

Stability retired the Stable Video Diffusion API on July 24, 2025, and its earlier stablevideo.com web app now redirects to the model page. The model can still be self-hosted under a license, but there is no Stability-hosted way to make a video today.

3D and 4D Models from a Single Image

Stable Point Aware 3D (SPAR3D) builds and lets you edit a full 3D object from one image in under a second, and Stable Fast 3D makes a textured asset in about 0.5 seconds; both are on the API at 4 and 10 credits. Stable Video 4D takes a video of an object and returns new views from eight angles.

Older 3D models, Stable Video 3D, Stable Zero123 and TripoSR, made with Tripo AI, remain as downloadable weights. They target game, VR, retail and design teams that need assets rather than finished videos.

Community and Enterprise Licenses for Self-Hosting

The Community License lets researchers, developers, creators and businesses with under $1M in annual revenue use Stable Diffusion 3.5, SDXL Turbo, Stable Audio 3.0, Stable Fast 3D and other models free, including commercially; commercial users must register with Stability. You own your outputs and your fine-tunes, such as LoRAs.

Once a company and its affiliates pass $1M in revenue, the Community License ends and an Enterprise license is needed, priced on request with optional custom model training and consulting. Stability also trains custom models for large companies through its Strategic Partnerships team.

Stability AI Product Positioning and Background

Stability AI is the company behind Stable Diffusion, the open image model family. Its Terms of Service, effective Sep 30, 2026, name Stability AI Ltd in London for the UK, EU and Switzerland and Stability AI US Services Corporation in Los Angeles elsewhere, under California law. Prem Akkaraju, former CEO of Weta Digital, has led it since June 2024.

Under him it has narrowed to tools for professional creatives and enterprises. On Aug 25, 2026 it announced a $76M Series B, bringing total funding to $232M, with Electronic Arts, Sony Music, Universal Music and Warner Music among the investors and James Cameron on the board. Its consumer image apps are gone: old Stable Assistant links redirect to the Strategic Partnerships page and dreamstudio.ai opens a Brand Studio sign-in for enterprise teams.

SeedVideo AI is an independent, hosted platform built around Seedance video, with Kling, Veo, Sora, Wan and MiniMax as options and a smaller set of image models, published credit prices and one-time credit packs.

Who Uses Stability AI: Real-World Use Cases

Stability AI suits developers, studios and companies that want models they can run, tune and build on. If you want to type a prompt and get a finished video in the browser, a hosted generator fits better.

App developers

Add image generation, background removal, inpainting or 4K upscaling to a product through the API, paying per call in credits.

Teams that self-host

Run Stable Diffusion 3.5 on their own GPUs to keep data in house, free under $1M in revenue or with an Enterprise license above it.

Fine-tuners and LoRA makers

Train styles and characters on the open weights and keep ownership of the fine-tunes and their outputs under the Community License.

Music producers

Sketch tracks, loops and sound effects in Stable Audio and drag takes straight into music software such as Logic or Ableton with the Mac plugin.

Game and 3D teams

Turn concept art or product photos into 3D assets with SPAR3D or Stable Fast 3D, through the API or self-hosted.

Large enterprises

Commission custom models trained on their own visual data, as Stability describes for automotive, healthcare, construction and entertainment.

Stability AI Reviews: What Real Users Say

Stability AI does not run a review program, and both Trustpilot profiles are unclaimed. stability.ai is rated 1.8 from 16 reviews (88% one-star, no four- or five-star reviews), with 2 in the last 12 months; dreamstudio.ai, its retired image app, is rated 2.6 from 4. We read all 20, from Dec 2022 to Oct 2026. Most are about DreamStudio and Stable Assistant, which have since closed, and Stable Audio subscriptions; only one is about the API, and none is about the open models. The complaints are consistent: charges after cancelling, support that never answers, price rises on bought credits and results that ignore the prompt. One review can count toward several themes.

What users like

  1. 01

    Image generation and editing, in the DreamStudio days

    The only four- or five-star review on either profile, from Dec 2022, calls DreamStudio the best image editor and generator. Several one- and two-star reviewers also say generation worked well before billing or support problems began.

What users complain about

  1. 01

    Charges after cancelling

    The most recent review, from Oct 2026, says a cancelled Stable Audio subscription kept switching itself back on and renewing; others describe a $19 charge after cancelling a three-day trial, charges after deleting an account, and weekly charge attempts with no billing page to stop them.

    What SeedVideo AI does

    One-time credit packs never renew; subscriptions can be cancelled anytime in account settings, and support is one address, support@seeddance.io, listed in the site footer.

  2. 02

    Support that never answers

    Reviewers describe weeks without a reply, a paid account they could not log back into, a broken password reset, and paid credits that never appeared or an API that stopped working while showing a negative balance, with only automated messages in return.

    What SeedVideo AI does

    Support is one address, support@seeddance.io, listed in the site footer, and a run that fails releases its credits.

  3. 03

    Price rises on bought credits and apps that closed

    A long-time DreamStudio user says images went from about 1.25 to 8 credits each, including on credits already bought, before the app moved to subscriptions; another says bought credits stopped working when a $9 monthly plan replaced them, and a third lost every saved image.

    What SeedVideo AI does

    Every model shows its credit cost before you run it, and one-time credit packs from $29.90 need no subscription and last 180 to 365 days.

  4. 04

    Results that ignore the prompt

    Others say a request for a side profile returned something else entirely, Stable Assistant drew a six-pawed cat and charged for every miss, video results were badly broken, and short audio tracks sounded weak next to other music generators.

    What SeedVideo AI does

    A failed run releases its credits, and the cost of every clip shows before it runs; a finished video you are unhappy with is still charged. One-time pack credits last 180 to 365 days.

Ratings and reviews were read on Nov 1, 2026. Both Trustpilot profiles are unclaimed and few reviews are recent, so they say more about Stability AI’s closed consumer apps and its billing than about the open models. Reviews are summarized, not quoted; open each link for the full text.

Stability AI Pricing and Plans in 2026

Stability AI has no single plan. Its open models are free to self-host under $1M in revenue, the API is pay-as-you-go at $0.01 a credit, and Stable Audio has monthly plans. Here is how that lines up with SeedVideo AI.

Why Creators Switch from Stability AI to SeedVideo AI

Most people who move want to make videos in the browser, not run models on their own hardware.

  1. 01

    A hosted video generator

    Stability AI has had no hosted video since July 2025. SeedVideo AI runs Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 with Kling, Veo, Wan and MiniMax in the browser: text or image to video, clips up to 30 seconds with audio, and nothing to install.

  2. 02

    Credits without a subscription

    One-time credit packs start at $29.90 with commercial use included and last 180 to 365 days, and every model shows its credit cost before you run it. Stable Audio credits come only with a monthly plan and do not roll over.

  3. 03

    A week of unlimited Seedance on Premium

    Premium ($99/month billed yearly) includes 7 days of unlimited Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 once per account, and a failed run never costs credits.

Stay with Stability AI if…

  • You want open weights to run, fine-tune or ship inside your own product.
  • You are building an app on its image editing, upscaling or 3D API.
  • You make music and want Stable Audio and its plugin for your music software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about Stability AI, checked on Nov 1, 2026.

What is Stability AI used for?
Stability AI makes generative models: Stable Diffusion 3.5 for images, Stable Audio 3.0 for music and sound effects, and 3D models such as SPAR3D and Stable Fast 3D. Developers self-host the open weights or call them through its API, music makers use the Stable Audio app and plugin, and large companies license or commission custom models.
Is Stability AI free?
Partly. Individuals and businesses under $1M in annual revenue can download and self-host its open models free under the Community License, including for commercial use after registering. The API gives 25 free credits, then costs $0.01 a credit, and Stable Audio has a free plan with 50 credits a month and paid plans from $12 (prices on Nov 1, 2026).
Can Stability AI make videos?
Not as a hosted service any more. Stable Video Diffusion makes short clips of 14 or 25 frames, but its API closed on July 24, 2025, so you must run it on your own hardware under a license. For hosted video, a generator such as SeedVideo AI runs Seedance 2.5, Kling, Veo and Wan in the browser.
Can I use Stable Diffusion images commercially?
Yes, within the license. Under the Community License you own your outputs and fine-tunes, and businesses under $1M in annual revenue can use the models commercially after registering; above that, an Enterprise license is required. API outputs can be used commercially as long as they do not infringe anyone’s copyright.
How do I cancel Stability AI and can I get a refund?
Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time; for Stable Audio, sign in, open your avatar menu, choose Manage payments and follow the Stripe email. Its Terms say payments and credits are non-refundable except where law requires, and API credits expire after a year. Stable Audio may refund accidental or unrecognized charges, or a request within 48 hours with under 2% of credits used.
What is the best Stability AI alternative for video?
For hosted video, SeedVideo AI: Seedance 2.5 at up to 1080p, one-time credit packs from $29.90, no watermark on paid exports, commercial use on packs, and Kling, Veo, Sora, Wan and MiniMax in the same generator. If you want a cinematic toolset on top, Higgsfield is the closest multi-model option.
Is SeedVideo AI affiliated with Stability AI?
No. SeedVideo AI is an independent platform that runs Seedance and other models. Stability AI, Stable Diffusion, Stable Audio, Seedance, Kling, Veo and the other model names are trademarks of their owners and are named here only to review and compare products.
