saveapi.org vs FastSaverAPI — same credit table, different model and coverage
FastSaverAPI and saveapi.org price a social request identically — 1.5 credits for a download, 5 for an Instagram story, 3 for Rutube, 0.1 for a link the source refuses — and sell the same four tiers of credits at the same dollar amounts. YouTube is where the tables part: info costs 2 on both, but a download is 15 there and 10 here. The other differences are in what the credits buy and how the plan works, and both are easy to check on the two pricing pages. This page is that check, with the date it was made.
Where FastSaverAPI is the better choice
If you need YouTube search, 1440p/2160p renditions or a Telegram file_id for audio, or anything around music recognition, FastSaverAPI has it and saveapi.org does not. YouTube itself is on both since 15 September 2026, up to 1080p here.
If you want a plan billed to you automatically every month, that is FastSaverAPI's model. saveapi.org can renew a pack too, but only from money you have already topped up — crypto cannot be charged on its own.
Where saveapi.org differs
- Five platforms FastSaverAPI does not list: Likee, Snapchat, Threads, VK and 9GAG — with a watermark-free rendition for Likee and TikTok.
- A YouTube download is 10 credits instead of 15, and the link answers in about 0.2 s with the stream starting within about half a second.
- You top up a balance and buy packs from it. Whatever arrives is credited in full, even an over- or underpayment or a coin sent on another network. A pack is valid for 30 days, credits are spent from the pack that expires soonest, and the free 1,000 never expire. Auto-renew is optional and only spends the balance — nothing is ever charged on its own.
- Errors carry a stable code (PRIVATE_CONTENT, MEDIA_NOT_FOUND, UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT…) rather than a detail string to match on, and the docs say which codes are worth a retry.
- The success rate and median latency on the front page are measured from the last 30 days of real traffic and hidden when the sample is too small — no uptime or SLA figure is claimed anywhere on the site.
What is the same
The social credit table, the four tiers, the dollar amounts, the rate limits and the free 1,000 credits with no card. Both return direct CDN URLs for social platforms and both stream YouTube through their own host, both charge 0.1 credits for a link the platform itself rejects, and both give the link check and account calls away for free. Migrating in either direction is a header rename and a response-shape change, not a re-architecture.
Questions before you build
- Is saveapi.org cheaper than FastSaverAPI?
- For social platforms no — the credit costs and tier prices are identical as of the date at the top of this page. For YouTube yes: a download is 10 credits here and 15 there, with info at 2 on both.
- Can I move from one to the other without rewriting my code?
- Nearly. Both take a URL and return JSON with direct media links. You change the base URL and the auth header, then read medias[] and error.code instead of download_url and detail.
- Does saveapi.org offer YouTube?
- Yes, since 15 September 2026: /v1/youtube/info lists every rendition with its exact size and /v1/youtube/create returns a signed streaming link for the one you pick, up to 1080p. Search, 4K and Telegram file_id are not offered.
