Replicate

Run open-source AI models via API, pay-per-use

OtherPaidLLM-drafted

Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.

Replicate hosts thousands of open-source AI models — image (Flux, SDXL), video (Wan, Hunyuan), audio (ElevenLabs alternatives), language (Llama). One API, pay per second of compute. Saves you from running GPUs yourself.

Editor's verdict

Best for builders who want to use open-source AI models without ops — pay-per-second is fair, model coverage is excellent. fal.ai is the main competitor and slightly faster on inference for many models; pick by which models / pricing fits. For a single-purpose product (just SD, just LLM), going to a specialized host is often cheaper.
