SJolt

SJolt is a unified API platform that lets product teams test and compare image, video, and audio generation models in a playground, then ship the same API request into production.

About

SJolt is an AI model aggregation platform that gives product teams a single API for image, video, and audio generation models from multiple providers, including ByteDance, Google, xAI, and MiniMax. It addresses a common developer pain point: evaluating competing generation models usually means registering with each vendor separately, learning different request formats, and managing separate billing. SJolt consolidates this into one catalog, one request pattern, and one balance.

The workflow moves through four steps. Teams first choose a model by task, such as generation, editing, or multimodal workflows. They then test it in a playground whose inputs — prompt, aspect ratio, duration, and source assets — match the API request fields. Usage is billed against a shared balance, and the final request flow, covering the request body, task status, result retrieval, and error handling, goes directly into production. Model pages include ready-to-run examples in curl, JavaScript, and Python.

Key Features

One API across models: SJolt uses a single request pattern across all supported generation models, with model-specific pricing and task parameters, so teams can swap models without rewriting integration code.
Playground with API-ready inputs: The playground exposes the same fields as production requests, letting product experiments transfer directly into engineering code.
Model catalog with output samples: Teams can inspect sample outputs and compare quality and cost across models before committing to one.
Async task handling: Long-running video generation jobs run through asynchronous queues, and developers poll by task ID to retrieve status and results.
Copy-ready code examples: Each model page ships with examples in curl, JavaScript, Python, and task polling, so developers set credentials and a model ID and start building.
Unified usage billing: A single balance covers usage across models, and billing views show payment status, usage records, and model-level costs for finance review.
Broad model coverage: The catalog spans image generation, video generation, image-to-video, and image editing, listing 40 models at the time of review.

Pricing & Fees

  • Pricing: Usage-based, per second of generated video. For example, Seedance 2.5 text-to-video starts at $0.12/s for 480p and reaches $0.675/s for 1080p; Seedance 2.0 plans carry listed discounts of around 40% at the time of review. Full per-model rates appear on the SJolt pricing page.
  • Model lineup: Includes Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 (ByteDance), Gemini Omni and Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash (Google), Grok Imagine Video 1.5 (xAI), and MiniMax H3, H3 Dev, and H3 Recast, plus newer additions such as Kling 4.
  • Trial before integration: The playground lets teams test any model with the same inputs the API accepts, so quality and cost can be confirmed before writing production code.
  • Support channel: Email support is available at [email protected].

Who It's For

SJolt is aimed at developers and product teams building applications that generate images, video, or audio and who want to compare models without maintaining separate vendor integrations. Typical users include startup engineers prototyping AI video features, creative technologists selecting a generation model for a specific output quality and budget, and technical founders who need predictable per-model cost reporting. It also suits teams that need to switch between models as new ones launch, since the request flow stays the same across the catalog.

FAQ

What is SJolt?SJolt is an aggregation platform that provides one API for image, video, and audio generation models from providers such as ByteDance, Google, xAI, and MiniMax, with a playground for testing before production use.

How much does SJolt cost?Billing is usage-based against a prepaid balance, charged per second of output with rates that vary by model and resolution; for example, Seedance 2.5 text-to-video costs $0.12/s at 480p and $0.675/s at 1080p. Current rates are listed on the official pricing page.

Can different models be called through the same API?Yes. SJolt uses one request pattern across supported models, differing only in model ID, task parameters, and pricing.

Do video generation jobs run asynchronously?Yes. Long-running jobs are processed through async queues, and developers poll by task ID to retrieve status and results.

Can I test a model before integrating?Yes. The playground accepts the same fields as the API request — prompts, ratios, durations, and model IDs — so a tested configuration can be copied directly into code.
