Price comparison
Fal.ai Pricing
Fal.ai uses a usage-based pricing model, ensuring you only pay for the compute you consume. It offers two main structures:
- GPU Pricing: Billed per second for deploying custom applications on their GPU fleet.
- Output-Based Pricing: For models hosted by Fal.ai, billing is based on the output generated, such as per image, per megapixel, or per second of video.
Hyperbolic Pricing
Hyperbolic sells GPU capacity three ways:
- On-Demand: billed hourly against prepaid credits, with the rate locked at instance creation.
- Reserved: terms from one week, paid up front, with longer terms priced lower.
- Private Cloud: dedicated clusters under a custom contract.
Storage volumes are billed hourly by provisioned size. On-demand rates are refreshed weekly to track supplier rates.
