Beatra or each model's API: which fits your agent?

Beatra puts image, video, music, and speech models behind one install, one sign-in, and one credit balance, and your agent uses them from the conversation. Calling a model's API directly gives you that model's full parameter set, with an account, key, and bill for each provider. Single-purpose Skills each cover one task; the Beatra Skill covers every task and works alongside them.

When a direct API fits better

Call a model's API directly when you need every parameter that one model offers, or a contract with that provider. To build your own app on Beatra, use the Beatra REST API.

Questions

Can I use Beatra alongside other Skills?

Yes. Your agent picks the right Skill for each request, and the Beatra Skill works next to the others you have installed.

How is Beatra priced?

Installing is free. Renders use Beatra credits from one balance, and new accounts start with free credits. The price of each model is in the live model list.

Can I choose the exact model?

Yes. Name the model in your request, or let the agent pick one. The live model list shows every model with its limits.
