Novita AI pricing

What one ad costs

A 6-second MiniMax H3 clip at 768P costs $0.48. The same clip at 2K costs $0.78. Ten hook variants at 768P come to $4.80. Whether H3 clips bought here can run in ads in the US, the EU, the UK or South Korea is unclear: see the licence note.

On a rented GPU there is no price per image to quote. You pay the hourly rate for the minutes the card runs. A two-hour session on the RTX 4090 costs $0.66 on demand or $0.34 on spot, plus storage.

Novita GPU prices per hour, on demand and spot

On-demand cards run until you stop them. Spot cards cost about half, but Novita can take them back (see the one-hour rule).

Two Novita pages disagree on the RTX 4090 spot rate. The GPU page table lists the RTX 4090 spot rate at $0.17. On 12 November 2026 the spot page banner prices it “from only” $0.18 an hour. This page uses the table’s figure.

Memory decides which models fit on a card, so check a model’s size against the memory column before comparing rates.

What storage adds

Storage bills apart from the GPU, by the GB and by the day. Novita’s GPU pricing docs list three kinds:

• Container disk comes with 60 GB free, then $0.005 per GB a day.
• Volume disk costs $0.005 per GB a day.
• Network volume costs $0.002 per GB a day.

A 120 GB network volume comes to $0.24 a day. Over 30 days that is $7.20, whether a GPU runs or not.

When Novita’s billing starts and stops

The meter starts before you generate anything. Billing begins “when the instance is successfully created and enters the pulling state”, while it downloads its software image. It stops “when the instance is stopped”.

Billing Structure of On-Demand Pricing

Computing resources Cost = Instance Unit Price × Billing Duration × Number of Cards. Billing duration is accurate to the second and settled hourly. The billing start time is when the instance is successfully created and enters the pulling state, and the billing stop time is when the instance is stopped.

Container disk Pay-as-you-go. Supports 60GB free quota, charges for the excess based on capacity and usage duration. Unit price for the excess capacity: $0.005/GB/day.

Volume disk Unit price: $0.005/GB/day.

Network volume Unit price: $0.002/GB/day.

Time is “accurate to the second and settled hourly”. A large software image is billed GPU time while it downloads. So start from a template that already holds your tools, such as Novita’s official ComfyUI template. Stop the instance the moment a batch ends.

Novita AI API pricing for video

Novita’s pricing page prices video models per second of output.

Two charges sit on top. Input video is billed as well when you edit an existing clip. Input images beyond the first five cost $0.04 each.

The same H3 clip on every other provider is priced in Open source video model API prices. Novita also sells language-model APIs priced per million tokens, on the same pricing page.

Spot instances: the one-hour rule

The spot page promises “Default 1-hour protection, 1-hour advance termination notice”. For the first hour the card is yours. After that, Novita can reclaim it with an hour’s warning.

That makes spot a fit for a batch of stills you can rerun. A render is protected for 1 hour, then reclaimable on 1 hour’s notice, so one that runs beyond about two hours is at risk. Save outputs to a network volume as you go.

Refunds and unused credits

Credits you load are spent or lost. Section 7 of Novita’s terms, updated 5 August 2026, says “All fees are non-refundable”, and section 8 adds that Novita “does not offer refunds for unused credits”.

Purchases and payment

All fees are non-refundable and exclusive of any applicable taxes, which the Customer is solely responsible for paying.

The exceptions are a verified outage that leaves the service “materially unavailable for an extended period”, a duplicate or incorrect charge, and refunds the law requires. Claims go to support within 30 days of the charge. Load a small balance first. What a new account gets free, and why no promo code exists, is in Novita AI promo code and free credits.

Novita beside Runpod and the other GPU clouds

Runpod’s RTX 4090 costs $0.34 an hour on Community Cloud and $0.89 on Secure Cloud, read 13 November 2026. At list price on those read dates, Novita’s on-demand card sits a cent under Runpod’s Community Cloud rate.

Novita AI vs Runpod sets every card and rule side by side. Runpod pricing has Runpod’s full table, Runpod alternatives lists the other clouds and cloud GPU prices holds every rate we track. Novita AI covers its terms for ad work.
