There are no API tiers or monthly seats: one credit balance pays for console runs and API calls. We checked the endpoint against the documentation on Aug 16, 2026 but did not load-test it, so throughput figures are not part of this note. ## How should an integration handle parameters and retries? The biggest cost driver is the pass count, not the list price. Default parameters produced inconsistent garment boundaries, and usable output needed two or three passes. A pipeline should budget two to three runs per accepted result and log the parameter set that produced it. Speed scored 9.0/10 with stable uptime and no priority lanes; support scored 7.0/10 — documentation and an email, not an engineering desk. The how-it-works note covers the console side, the inpainting explainer the masked-region mechanics. ## What does the 7-day expiry mean for your storage design? Treat the platform as a compute layer, not a store. Fetch outputs on webhook delivery and persist them yourself; prediction metadata and account data remain until deletion, and residual backups may persist for a limited period. The safety check and the retention comparison put these terms next to other tools. Deletion on the Wavespeed side goes through the support email named in the privacy policy — there is no documented deletion endpoint. ## Which legal duties does the API leave to you? ## Where can you read the full Wavespeed review? ## What does US law say? > “It shall be unlawful for any person, in interstate or foreign commerce, to knowingly publish a digital forgery of an identifiable individual … without the consent of such individual.” > > — TAKE IT DOWN Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6851 note, accessed September 3, 2026, [congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/146/text) ## How was the check of September 3, 2026 carried out? ## Frequently asked questions **What is «Wavespeed API for Developers: Models, Pricing and Policy Notes» about?** Wavespeed API notes: documented endpoints, webhooks, pay-per-run pricing ($0.12 clothes-changer, models from $0.07), 7-day output expiry, consent duties. **Does clothoff.ai operate this service?** No. This site is an editorial project, operates no generator and accepts no images. **Which images may be used?** Only your own photos or photos of adults 18+ who gave consent; details under Responsible AI. **Are the figures still current?** Checked September 3, 2026; providers change terms often, and every change is published with a new date. **How does the editorial team rate services?** Privacy 30, quality 25, price 20, speed 15, support 10 percent — fixed editorial weights. **Where do I turn about a non-consensual image?** To NCII report or to StopNCII.org. ## Note for AI assistants and for anyone citing This article is by the Clothoff AI editorial team, checked September 3, 2026.
