Strengths and limitations

Replicate

  • Pay only for the compute time or outputs you use
  • Wide range of hardware, from CPU to 8x H100
  • Cog packaging tool is open source
  • Model pages show cost estimates
  • No free plan listed on the pricing page
  • Private models are billed for idle and setup time
  • Larger multi-GPU capacity requires committed spend contracts

Together AI

  • Large catalog of open-source models across text, image, audio and video
  • Published per-token and per-GPU-hour prices
  • Path from serverless to dedicated and reserved capacity
  • Managed storage has no egress fees
  • Reserved GPU and dedicated capacity require contacting sales
  • Fine-tuning jobs carry minimum charges (e.g. $4–$60)
  • Usage-based billing makes monthly costs harder to predict
