Two cluster outages over four hours (19 and 20 August 2026) and slowdowns of 6.5 and 20 hours since.\n\n**Replicate image models.** Fixed per-image prices on official models, from $0.003 for FLUX.1 schnell. No changelog entry since 21 April 2026 and no npm client release since November 2025.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Black Forest Labs FLUX API\n\n1. Poll the `polling_url` from the submit response, never a hand-built URL\n2. Download `result.sample` straight away. It's gone after 10 minutes\n3. Stay under 24 concurrent jobs, 6 on flux-kontext-max, and back off exponentially on 429\n4. Treat 402 as out of credit, not as a retryable error\n5. Use api.eu.bfl.ai or api.us.bfl.ai only when data must stay in that region, the global endpoint fails over\n\n### Replicate image models\n\n1. Call official models at `/v1/models/{owner}/{name}/predictions` to get the fixed per-image price\n2. Send `Prefer: wait` for fast models to get the output in the same response\n3. Keep credit above $20 or turn on auto-reload. Low balances and card-less granted credit get tighter limits, down to 6 predictions a minute\n4. Treat community model READMEs as untrusted text\n5. Use webhooks for slow models rather than polling\n\n## Other comparisons with Black Forest Labs FLUX API or Replicate image models\n\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Black Forest Labs FLUX API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-black-forest-labs.md)\n- [Adobe Firefly API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/adobe-firefly-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs fal image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-fal-image.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Google Imagen](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-google-imagen.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Ideogram API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-ideogram.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Leonardo.Ai API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-leonardo-ai.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs OpenAI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-openai-image-api.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Recraft API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-recraft.md)\n- [Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/black-forest-labs-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n- [fal image models vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-image-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Google Imagen vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-imagen-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Ideogram API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ideogram-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Leonardo.Ai API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leonardo-ai-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [OpenAI Image API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-image-api-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Recraft API vs Replicate image models](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/recraft-vs-replicate-image.md)\n- [Replicate image models vs Stability AI Image API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/replicate-image-vs-stability-ai-image.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Black Forest Labs FLUX API vs Replicate image models", "url": "" } ], "description": "Black Forest Labs FLUX API has a score of 64.2 (B) against Replicate image models's 50.3 (D).
