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.
Runcrate Pricing
