October 2026 Pro price cut · Measured endpoints

PixelLab 0.4.128 (October 2026) cut every Pro tool's price ladder from 20/25/40 to 10/15/25 generations. The release notes give the new tiers by side: 16–256px is 10, 256–384px is 15, 384–512px is 25. PixelLab's OpenAPI now quotes "10–25 generations" for 1- and 8-direction objects, Pro characters, and Pro object animations, and 15 for generate-font-pro (previously 25).

Only the prices moved, not the breakpoints. The release notes put 352px and 384px in the middle tier, but both billed the top tier (25) when re-measured on inpaint-v3 after the cut, exactly where the old bisection below put the boundary. pixelkiln's estimates use the new prices on those measured breakpoints. Every historical measurement on this page that says 20, 25, or 40 predates the cut and is kept as a record.

Re-measured after the cut:

Endpoint	Canvas	Before	After
`generate-image-v2`	64×64	40 (flat at any size)	10
`inpaint-v3`	256×256	20	10
`inpaint-v3`	288×288	25	15
`inpaint-v3`	352×352	40	25
`inpaint-v3`	384×384	40	25

generate-image-v2 is no longer flat; pixelkiln now prices it with proTierCost (≤65536px² is 10, ≤102400px² is 15, larger is 25), the same function inpaint-v3 and edit-images-v2 revisions use.

Create VFX shipped in the same release as an experimental web tool (pixellab.ai/create-vfx). As of October 2026 it has no REST endpoint in /v2/openapi.json and no MCP tool; PixelLab says the MCP tool is coming. pixelkiln cannot wrap it until one of those exists; see the roadmap.
