The official Step Plan comparison states that Flash Mini supports all flagship models with intelligent routing. Exact model availability may vary as StepFun updates its flagship catalog. The subscription uses a dedicated Step Plan access channel rather than the ordinary API billing channel.
Includes 400M Credits per month. Credits are the plan's unified usage allowance, are issued monthly, and do not roll over after the usage period. The plan is described as having no time-window or request-frequency cap, but usage stops when the monthly Credit allowance is exhausted unless additional Credits are purchased.
Lower allowance than Flash Plus, Flash Pro, and Flash Max. Does not include the priority API rates or priority technical support advertised for higher tiers. Studio creation credits are limited to an additional amount equivalent to 40% of the plan quota. Credits expire at the end of the applicable monthly period and are not shared with the standard pay-as-you-go API balance.
Official global pricing is advertised from USD 6.99 per month. Alternative quarterly and yearly billing options are available; regional CNY pricing is also offered on the China platform.
