fal publishes Audio and 3D model API pricing, expands video/image tables to 10 endpoints
What happened
Between the Sep 30, 2026 and Oct 1, 2026 captures of fal's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Model API pricing rebuilt into per-endpoint tables: new Audio and 3D pricing tables published; Video/Image tables expanded to 10 endpoints (H3 Max, Kling v3, Seedance 2, Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2), Wan 2.5/Veo 3/Ovi/Seedream V4/Qwen samples dropped. Overlapping model prices and GPU rates unchanged. In detail: Model API pricing rebuilt into per-endpoint tables: new Audio (ElevenLabs, MiniMax, xAI) and 3D (Tripo, Trellis, Hunyuan, Meshy) pricing tables published; Video/Image tables now list 10 endpoints each (H3 Max, Kling v3, Seedance 2, Nano Banana 2/Pro, GPT Image 2) replacing the Wan 2.5/Veo 3/Ovi/Seedream V4/Qwen samples. Overlapping models unchanged (Kling 2.5 Turbo $0.07/s, Nano Banana $0.0398); GPU rates unchanged. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price revealed) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 20, 2026) lists Audio Model APIs at $0.1 per 1,000 characters (MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD) + $0.2 per 100 seconds (ElevenLabs Sound Effects v2), 3D Model APIs at $0.08 per generation (Hunyuan Motion 1B) + $0.01 per credit (Tripo H3.1), Serverless Compute at $6 per H200 GPU hour + $4 per RTX PRO 6000 GPU hour, Video Model APIs at $0.05 per second of video output (MiniMax H3 Max) + $0.07 per second of video output (Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro) and Image Model APIs at $1 per unit (GPT Image 2) + $0.5 per 100 megapixels (Z Image Turbo).
It lands 57 days after fal's previous change, "fal: H100 GPU list price increase ($3.99→$4.50/h)" (Aug 5, 2026). fal has been tracked since 2026-07-15.
