Verdicts

fal video models

One key and one queue API reach 137 active text-to-video endpoints, each with a published price, an OpenAPI document and an llms.txt. 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.

HyperFrames

Local CLI with editable HTML project files. Hosted MCP remains beta.

Before you call either

fal video models

  1. 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
  2. Read https://fal.ai/models/<endpoint-id>/llms.txt before a call. duration is the string "5" on Kling, "8s" on Veo 3.1 and an integer on Wan 3.0
  3. 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
  4. Check metadata.status in https://api.fal.ai/v1/models before pinning an endpoint. Deprecated endpoints carry no removal date
  5. 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
  6. The MCP relay has no server-side approval gate. Call get_pricing and get the owner's approval before submit_job

HyperFrames

  1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.
  2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.
  3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
