Billing units, duration formats and audio pricing differ per model, there is no free tier, and a person must sign up in a browser and buy credit.\n\n**framefields.** A free Apache-2.0 library that renders video from TypeScript on the GPU, with lint and QA codes an agent can act on. It is fifteen days old, called beta, and its Claude Code install command names a plugin directory entry that was not found on 20 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### fal video models\n\n1. Submit to `queue.fal.run`, keep the `request_id`, then poll `status_url` or set `fal_webhook`. Never resubmit to check progress, because each submit is a new billable job\n2. Read `https://fal.ai/models/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e/llms.txt` before a call. `duration` is the string `\"5\"` on Kling, `\"8s\"` on Veo 3.1 and an integer on Wan 3.0\n3. Set `generate_audio` on purpose. It defaults to true and raises the Kling v3 Pro price from $0.112 to $0.168 a second and Veo 3.1 from $0.20 to $0.40\n4. Check `metadata.status` in `https://api.fal.ai/v1/models` before pinning an endpoint. Deprecated endpoints carry no removal date\n5. Use an API-scope key, never an ADMIN key. A new account runs 2 requests at once, so long video jobs queue behind each other\n6. The MCP relay has no server-side approval gate. Call `get_pricing` and get the owner's approval before `submit_job`\n\n### framefields\n\n1. Add the plugin with `/plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields` first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.\n2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing `skia.node`.\n3. Check with `comp.lint()` and `renderFrameGrid` before a full `renderVideo` encode.\n4. Call `process.exit()` after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.\n5. Preload vision models into `FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR` for offline or CI renders.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, fal video models or framefields?\n\nfal video models scores 68.9 (B) on agent readiness against framefields's 61.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. framefields leads on payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Are fal video models and framefields open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for fal video models. framefields is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-framefields.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-framefields.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"fal-video\", \"b\": \"framefields\"}`.
