Pay-As-You-Go AI Images, From ✦1 Per Draft
Seven image models — FLUX, SDXL, Recraft — on one credit balance you top up only when you need to.
If you generate images every single day, a subscription can make sense. For everyone else — marketers with campaign bursts, founders mocking up a deck, designers exploring a direction — pay-as-you-go is simply cheaper: you pay for images, not for a month.
On Raduga, a draft image costs one credit. The free signup grant (40 credits, no card) is dozens of drafts; a $9 pack is five hundred more, and they never expire.
The images above were generated in Raduga — by the same engine you get on the free tier.
Pick the right engine per image
- FLUX Schnell — Instant (✦1) — live for every account, generates in seconds; batch up to 4 per run

- FLUX 1.1 Pro Ultra (✦8) — flagship photorealism up to 4MP
Styles are one tap
Ten curated style presets — cinematic, editorial, film noir, anime, 3D render, cyberpunk, product shot, vintage film, watercolor, minimal — append tuned style language to your prompt so drafts land close on the first try.

Any result can be sent straight back in: edit it with plain instructions, upscale it 4×, cut out the background, or animate it into video. One balance covers the whole loop.
