Hermoso renders through 22 text models on one account and one credit balance. You can name a model, or leave it out and get a sound default — the same catalog is available from the app, the MCP server and the CLI.

One account and one credit balance covers every model. Each render is priced before it runs and settled at its exact cost, and the current price per model is shown in the app beside the button that spends it — so it is never out of date. See pricing for what a credit is worth, or every model we offer.
Frequently asked questions
How many text models does Hermoso support?
22 as of this build, read from the live catalog rather than a list kept by hand.
Do I need a separate subscription for each model?
No. One account and one credit balance covers every model in the catalog; you are charged the exact credit cost of the render you make.
