Price comparison

Fal.ai logo 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.

Theta EdgeCloud logo Theta EdgeCloud Pricing

Both tiers bill by the hour against a prepaid organization balance, drawn down in credits.

Hosted machine types carry a published rate. A community node is priced by the operator running it, so rates for the same card vary by machine and by country.

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Plan figures take each provider's closest match to a common setup. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
