About this comparison
Controls and limits
Every row here is read from the JSON Schema the endpoint validates against, so it matches what the API will really accept rather than a feature list written by hand.

Do low-filter models allow every request?
Content policy, side by side
Two separate facts sit behind these labels. The first is what we do, which is nothing: no platform content filter, and no maturity flag to set on a request. The second is what each model does on its own, and that is the only part that varies between these two.
PixVerse V6
Filtered
This model refuses requests beyond its own limits outright. Measured, not assumed — models we have not measured carry no label at all.
PixVerse V6 Effects
Filtered
This model refuses requests beyond its own limits outright. Measured, not assumed — models we have not measured carry no label at all.
Use these content labels to shortlist models, then open each model page for available examples and content-test details.
The label never changes your obligations. Age, consent, real-person likeness and the law where you operate stay with you, and SpicyAPI does not inspect each request.
Can I swap the model ID without changing the request body?
Request body, field by field
The task lifecycle is shared; the body is not. Each endpoint publishes its own JSON Schema and the API validates against that, so this is the list to reconcile before a switch.
- 4 fields appear in both request bodies under the same names. generate_audio, prompt, resolution, seed
- Only PixVerse V6 accepts: duration_seconds, image_url, last_image_url, shot_type.
- Only PixVerse V6 Effects accepts: image_urls, preset.
- PixVerse V6 requires image_url, prompt.
- PixVerse V6 Effects requires image_urls, preset.
- Both reject unknown fields outright, so a parameter left over from the other model comes back as a validation error instead of being quietly ignored.

Compare
Moving from one to the other
The model identifiers are pixverse/v6/image-to-video and pixverse/v6-effects/image-to-video, and both go in the same field of the same request.
Both run the same way: submit the task, then poll it or take the callback. Queueing and retry logic carry over unchanged.
Both use the same submit-and-track flow, but their required inputs may differ. Check each model page before switching.
One key, one balance, one set of spend caps. Both bill to the same account in US dollars, and the per-key daily, monthly and lifetime limits apply to whichever one you call.
Questions developers ask
Which is cheaper, PixVerse V6 or PixVerse V6 Effects?
Which is cheaper, PixVerse V6 or PixVerse V6 Effects?
At no audio · 720p the two cost exactly the same, so price is not the deciding field here. Prices may change; check the estimate shown for your actual settings before submitting.
How long can a single request run?
PixVerse V6 allows 60 minutes per task and PixVerse V6 Effects allows 60. Those are ceilings rather than typical times — most requests finish far sooner — but they are what your own client timeout has to survive.
