A simpler way to build with AI, without infrastructure complexity

ModelsLab helps teams generate images, videos, audio, chat, and 3D content through a single, unified API.
Compare how ModelsLab stacks up against Fal and Replicate — and why teams choose ModelsLab for faster, easier AI integration.

The iconic Eiffel Tower, depicted wearing a large, puffy blue jacket. The tower stands tall against a backdrop of a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds. The jacket envelops the tower, giving it a playful and whimsical appearance. The base of the tower is surrounded by fluffy clouds, further emphasizing the dreamy and fantastical nature of the image.

AT A GLANCE

!

Why this matters:

ModelsLab focuses on breadth + simplicity, while Fal and Replicate focus more on control and experimentation.

ModelsLab

Unified multi-modal AI APIs, fully managed

Generative media with custom deployment options

Running individual open-source models

WHAT EACH PLATFORM IS BUILT FOR

ModelsLab (Best for most teams)

ModelsLab is designed for teams that want multiple AI capabilities in one place, without managing GPUs, servers, or deployments.

  • Image, video, audio, chat, and image-to-3D APIs
  • Fully managed infrastructure
  • Single integration for many use cases

Fal is built for developers who want control over execution and deployment, especially for generative media workloads.

Replicate is built for developers who want to run specific open-source models , one model at a time.

What you do:

Call the API → get results → ship your product.

ADD MULTIPLE AI CAPABILITIES

Upload inputs. Generate outputs. That’s it.

Use the same platform to power multiple use cases:

  • Image generation
  • Video generation
  • Audio & voice
  • Chat & LLMs
  • Image-to-3D

Add Sources:

Everything works together inside one unified workflow.

AFTER (WITH MODELSLAB)

One platform. One API. Fully managed execution. Production-ready results.

Pricing Approach

ModelsLab

Dedicated server which process your request only with no rate limits, generate unlimited images, videos, audio, LLM and 3d.

Why this favors ModelsLab:
Predictable usage and simpler cost planning for real products.

Fal billing is based on the output generated, such as per image, per megapixel, or per second of video.

Pay-per-run, per model.

WHY TEAMS CHOOSE MODELSLAB

Fast generation

Consistent response times help teams iterate quickly.

24/7 support & help

Support is available when teams need assistance across time zones.

Built for production

Designed for real products, not just experiments.

DEVELOPERS LOVE MODELSLAB

We integrated ModelsLab into our product to handle image and video generation, and it’s been running smoothly in production. The APIs wereeasy to work with, and we didn’t need to spend time on infrastructure or GPU setup. Everything just worked in the background while our team focused on building features. On the rare occasion we needed help, support was quick to respond and resolved issues fast. Overall, ModelsLab has been reliable, easy to use, and a great fit for our workflow. We’re glad we chose it.

Michael Turner

Product Engineering Lead

We use ModelsLab across multiple workflows, including automation and content generation, and the unified API made integration straightforward.Performance has been consistent and predictable, and we haven’t had to worry about scaling or infrastructure management. That alone saved our team a lot of time. Any questions we had were handled quickly by the support team, which made ModelsLab feel production-ready from day one. We would confidently recommend it to other development teams.

Daniel Brooks

Senior Software Engineer

ModelsLab allowed us to move fast without dealing with GPU management or complex deployments.The platform is easy to integrate, performs reliably in production, and the support team has been helpful whenever we needed assistance. It’s been a solid choice for our setup.
