The short answer
Start with the input you have, the result you want and your budget. These are the differences that affect that choice.
- These tools produce different results. Choose the operation you need first; a lower price does not make one a substitute for the other.
- Both are listed as Uncensored. Compare the examples and content-test details on each model page for the scenes you want to create.

Current price
Price at the same setting
A start price answers a different question than the one you have. These are the tiers both models publish, matched setting for setting, in US dollars per billed unit with no conversion step in between.
These two bill on different tiers, so there is no row to line up. Each one's own published tiers are listed here instead.
Relight: $0.03 / output images
Shadow Remover: $0.03 / output images
What one ordinary job costs
- Relight: $3 for one hundred images.
- Shadow Remover: $3 for one hundred images.
Arithmetic on the published rates at each model's own default setting, not a quote. The console prices your actual settings before a request is accepted.
About this comparison

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.
Relight
Uncensored
This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
Shadow Remover
Uncensored
This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
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. aspect_ratio, image_url, output_format, seed
- Only Relight accepts: prompt.
- Shadow Remover accepts no field the other one lacks.
- Relight requires image_url, prompt.
- Shadow Remover requires image_url.
- 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 spicyapi/relight-v1/edit and spicyapi/shadow-remover-v1/edit, 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, Relight or Shadow Remover?
Which is cheaper, Relight or Shadow Remover?
These tools produce different results. Choose the operation you need first; a lower price does not make one a substitute for the other. Prices may change; check the estimate shown for your actual settings before submitting.
How long can a single request run?
Relight allows 30 minutes per task and Shadow Remover allows 30. Those are ceilings rather than typical times — most requests finish far sooner — but they are what your own client timeout has to survive.
