How does Black Forest Labs pricing work?
The value metric is the generated image, priced on two axes: model and resolution. The headline is 'Pay as you go' with 'No subscriptions, no seat fees. Only pay for what you generate.', and the table under 'Price per' IMAGE prints five resolution columns for each model, from '$0.041/img' to '$0.607/img' for FLUX 3 Image and from '$0.008/img' to '$0.036/img' for FLUX 3 Image Klein. Resolution tracks compute, so the per-image price sits close to the underlying resource while reading as an output. Tabs for 'FLUX 3 Video', 'FLUX Video Tools', 'FLUX.2', 'FLUX.1' and 'FLUX Image Tools' keep a separate rate card for each model family.
The motion is self-serve on the API with sales above it. 'Get started' and 'Chat with us' open the page beside customer logos and "Trusted by the world's leading enterprises.", and a 'Try now' button sits on the rate table. An ENTERPRISE band, 'Building at scale?', offers 'Custom pricing, volume discounts, SLA guarantees, and dedicated support for high-throughput workloads.' Then 'Open Weights Licensing' shows five licenses, Builder and Platform with 'Purchase' and Professional, Enterprise and Synthetic Data with 'Contact Sales', before a one-question FAQ, a 'Pricing Calculator' and a closing 'Try Flux' beside 'Talk to Sales'.
Under the hood, Black Forest Labs runs two revenue lines from one model family. The API is metered per image with a rate table keyed by model and resolution, the shape that lets a price move with compute without the buyer doing token math. The licenses price the right to run the weights, packaged by '10K images / month' or '100K images / month', domains and '10 licensed users', with 'API + Weights combo pricing' on Enterprise and 'Rights to use outputs as training data' on Synthetic Data. Usage rights become a packaging dimension of their own. Worth borrowing: a calculator that returns 'Rate: $0.048 / image' and a total from model, resolution and count.
What does Black Forest Labs' pricing page do well?
- The hero states the model in one line: 'No subscriptions, no seat fees. Only pay for what you generate.'
- The rate table prints every model at five resolutions, '768 × 768' to '4K', so a buyer reads the exact price per image for the output they need
- A 'Try now' button sits inside the rate table, one click from the price to the product
- The 'Pricing Calculator' takes model, resolution and 'Number of Images' and returns the rate and 'Total Price:'
- Open Weights Licensing cards list volume, domains, users and rights, such as 'Fine-tuning & LoRA rights', in the same format for all five licenses
What does Black Forest Labs' pricing page reveal about its pricing strategy?
- Pricing per image by resolution keeps the meter close to compute while the buyer pays for an output
- FLUX 3 Image Klein, at '$0.008/img' and described as '5.6B parameters, runs on a single consumer GPU', prices a smaller model for volume work
- Open weights licenses priced by images per month, domains and licensed users form a second line beside the API
- 'Rights to use outputs as training data' on Synthetic Data makes usage rights a packaging dimension
- 'API + Weights combo pricing' on Enterprise points to contracts that blend hosted usage with self-hosted rights

Baseten
From $0.01/1M tokensBaseten layers a three-tier service ladder over published rate sheets. Basic is '$0 per month, pay as you go', and Pro and Enterprise carry 'Volume discounts available' with 'GET A QUOTE'. Underneath sit three meters: Model APIs per 1M tokens across 19 model rows with Input, Cache Input and Output columns, opening with joey-1 at $0.01 input, dedicated GPU and CPU instances billed 'down to the minute', and the same GPU grid for training.
Together AI
From $0.04/1M tokensTogether AI prices eight products on one page, each on the unit that drives its cost: per-token serverless rates across 29 chat models, reserved throughput in PTUs at $0.05 per minute, GPU hours banded by commitment length, post-training GPU hours billed per minute, sandbox vCPU and RAM hours, filesystem storage per GiB and fine-tuning per million tokens with a per-job minimum. The page shows its working throughout, from cached input rates inline to the stated assumptions behind the PTU estimator and the rule for counting fine-tuning tokens.
AssemblyAI
$0.15/hrAssemblyAI bills speech-to-text by the hour of audio, the unit a transcription team already uses, and the default view shows two rates: Universal-3.5 Pro at $0.21 /hr and Universal-2 at $0.15 /hr. A selector across eight APIs, grouped under TRANSCRIBE, UNDERSTAND and INTERACT, swaps the rate table, so each product is priced in its own unit, from audio hours to LLM tokens to input characters. The FAQ carries the billing mechanics in plain words, including the new Text-to-Speech API at $15 per 1M characters.
Cohere
$3.00/instance/hrCohere prices for the enterprise in three shapes: custom contracts for its North and Compass platforms, reserved capacity on Model Vault at $3.00 to $7.00 an hour or $2,000 to $4,300 a month per instance, and pay-as-you-go tokens behind a Production API key. A four-way toggle sorts the page by buying job, and the FAQ carries the billing mechanics, down to an invoice at month end or at $250 of outstanding balance.
