| Pricing |
Model APIs generally charge for successful outputs using endpoint-specific units. Custom Serverless runners are billed per second while alive, including setup and idle/keep-alive time, not only active requests. fal uses prepaid credits purchased in U.S. dollars; displayed prices exclude taxes. Check the selected endpoint or deployment before funding a workload. |

| App Available? | Accessible through web playgrounds and APIs for integration into applications. Standalone native-app availability was not verified. |
Check one workload before scaling
Choose the model, resolution and billing unit, then test material you have permission to process. Inspect the output and recorded usage before increasing volume. Keep API credentials on your server rather than in public browser code, and account for idle runner time when deploying a custom endpoint.
