Melius

Creative-canvas AI agent. Describe the brief; Mel routes the work across leading image, video, and audio models (Flux, Nano Banana, Veo, Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, and more) and lays every step out as editable nodes on a canvas. Same agent runs through a web app for creators and an MCP server for teams driving it from Claude or any AI stack. Beta. Pricing subject to change.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • MCP server lets you drive Melius from Claude or any team AI stack; unlimited MCP calls on Growth and Professional plans
  • Node-level prompt visibility, every step Mel takes is editable on the canvas, not a black box
  • Unlimited seats and unlimited agent use on every paid plan
  • Beta promo: Nano Banana Pro and Veo free on Growth and Professional plans through August 1

Cons

  • Beta product, pricing explicitly subject to change
  • No free tier and no annual discount disclosed
  • Large jump from Growth ($45) to Professional ($240) with no mid-tier option
  • Per-generation credit costs only visible after sign-in, not transparently published on landing
  • Newer entrant, less track record than Hedra, Freepik, or fal.ai
  • Aggregator margin: you pay Melius on top of underlying model providers
FAQ

Frequently asked about Melius

Value comparison: credits per dollar
Does Melius actually cost money?↓
Yes. Melius charges for ongoing use. The cheapest paid plan is Creator at $18.00 per month on monthly billing. Higher tiers unlock more generations, higher resolutions, or API access. No free tier is offered, so the $18.00 entry price is the floor for any real use. All plan prices on this page were verified by hand against Melius’s pricing page, most recently in May 2026. For the per-generation cost of a specific model at a specific resolution and volume, use the Scopeful calculator below. Last verified May 2026.
How much does Melius cost per month?↓
Melius’s cheapest paid plan is Creator at $18.00 per month. Larger plans in the table above unlock more credits, more generations, higher resolution tiers, or API access depending on the tier. Most Melius plans also offer an annual billing option that lowers the effective monthly cost; the full plan table shows the monthly and annual price side by side. The plan price is the subscription cost, not the cost per generation. The per-generation cost depends on which model and resolution you choose and how many generations you run, and the Scopeful calculator on this page gives you the exact figure for any combination. Last verified May 2026.
Does Melius have a free tier?↓
No. Melius does not advertise an ongoing free tier. Some paid plans may include a small trial credit allotment, but free long-term use is not part of the current pricing. The cheapest entry point is the paid plan shown in the plan table. If you want to estimate your monthly cost before subscribing, the Scopeful calculator on this page converts any model + volume combination into a real US dollar figure. Last verified May 2026.
What is Melius’s official pricing in 2026?↓
Melius’s official pricing is published at https://www.melius.com/pricing. Scopeful mirrors the official plan prices on this page and adds the per-generation cost in real US dollars, which the official page does not show. The official page lists subscription tiers and credit allotments; this page lists the same tiers, the same credit allotments, and the per-generation USD figure for every model. The numbers on this page were verified by hand, most recently in May 2026. For the official feature comparison and any promotional credits or annual discounts, follow the link to https://www.melius.com/pricing. For the per-generation cost, use the Scopeful calculator on this page. Last verified May 2026.
How do Melius’s credits work?↓
Melius uses a credit allotment on most paid plans. The Creator plan, for example, includes 20,000 credits per month. Each generation consumes a fixed number of credits that depends on the model and resolution, so a simple text-to-image at 1K may cost a small number of credits, while a high-resolution video generation can consume hundreds. Unused credits may roll over on some tiers and expire on others, so check the plan details before relying on credit carryover. The Scopeful calculator on this page converts credits to a real US dollar figure for any model + resolution + volume combination, so you can see the per-generation cost in advance. Representative figures from the calculator: $0.0036 per FLUX.1 Schnell 1K image, $0.0036 per ElevenLabs Scribe v2 minute. Last verified May 2026.
Does Melius offer API access?↓
Yes. Melius exposes an API alongside its web UI. API access is often gated to specific paid tiers; see the plan table for which plans unlock API calls. API access is the most cost-efficient way to run Melius at volume, since per-call pricing is usually lower than the equivalent credit cost on a subscription. Most Melius plans still gate API access to specific tiers, so check the plan table on this page to see which tier unlocks it. For an apples-to-apples cost comparison between the API and the subscription, use the Scopeful calculator on this page, which prices both the subscription plan and the per-call API for the same model and volume. Last verified May 2026.
What is the cheapest way to run Melius at 100 seconds per month?↓
The cheapest verified per-second figure on Melius, calculated by Scopeful from the reference plan rate and the model's credit cost, is $0.0036 for FLUX.1 Schnell 1K image. That is the floor for that specific model and resolution. The plan that unlocks it, and the volume at which it stays the cheapest option, depends on the workload: the cheapest plan is not always the cheapest per-second once you account for monthly credit allotments and overage rates. For a 100-seconds-per-month workload, the Scopeful calculator on this page returns the exact per-second cost across every plan that covers it, plus the total monthly bill. Pricing was verified by hand, most recently in May 2026; re-verify before you commit. Last verified May 2026.
How does Melius's pricing compare to Fuser Studio on the FLUX.1 Schnell 1K image workload?↓
For comparable subscription access, Melius starts at $18.00 per month, while Fuser Studio starts at $5.00 per month. The plan-floor numbers are the entry point, not the per-generation cost: the cheaper entry plan is not always the cheaper tool once you account for credit allotments, included generations, and per-call API rates. The fairest comparison is per-output, not per-subscription, and that is what the Scopeful calculator on this page returns. For the FLUX.1 Schnell 1K image workload, Melius and Fuser Studio both produce a per-image or per-second figure calculated by Scopeful from the same reference plan rate, so the comparison is apples-to-apples. Pricing was verified by hand, most recently in May 2026; re-verify before you commit. Last verified May 2026.
