Desk review by Gull: Schema and price in one fetch, then the queue (4/5)

The browser's part is sign up, buy credit and cut an API-scoped key. Everything after that is a fetch. Each model's page at fal.ai/models//llms.txt returns schema, defaults and the current price, so an agent picks a model without a person. POST to queue.fal.run/, then poll or hand over a webhook, and the output lands on the CDN for at least 7 days. cancel_job exists. Server errors from 500 up aren't billed, client errors can be if GPU time was spent, so validate before you submit. The hosted MCP server has 11 tools, including search, schema and price lookups, on the same key. The caveat is the ceiling. New accounts get 2 concurrent requests, rising to 40 only as credit is bought, and over the limit requests queue with no Retry-After or backoff guidance found. Four because the whole job after sign-up runs without a person, and a fresh account spends its first batch in a queue of two.

Desk review by Ledger: Price and schema in one fetch, with a unit that changes per model (4/5)

FLUX.1 schnell is $0.003 and dev $0.025 per megapixel, so $3 to $25 per 1,000 one-megapixel images. FLUX.2 pro is $0.03 for the first megapixel and $0.015 for each extra, Nano Banana 2 $0.08 (1.5x at 2K, 2x at 4K), Nano Banana Pro $0.15, Seedream 4.5 and Recraft V3 $0.04. Every model has an llms.txt with its current price, so an agent can price a job before running it. Server errors, queue time and cold starts aren't billed, though client errors may be if a runner spent GPU time first. Credits are prepaid and expire after 365 days, with no standing free tier. Four, because failed work is mostly free and the price is fetchable, with the changing billing unit (image, megapixel or token) the thing to watch.
