fal adds FLUX 3 Max video model at $0.085/sec
What happened
Between the Oct 19, 2026 and Oct 20, 2026 captures of fal's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Model API pricing adds FLUX 3 Max video, FLUX.1 schnell and new audio models (Seed Audio, Lyria 3 Pro, Inworld TTS); ElevenLabs TTS and sound-effects rows no longer listed. In detail: New FLUX 3 Max video model (post-trained by fal) added to Model API pricing at $0.085/sec ($0.425 per 5-sec video) and promoted in the site banner. Model API tables also expanded from 10 featured endpoints to 17-24 models per category with new price-per-output columns; ElevenLabs TTS rows dropped from the featured Audio list (ElevenLabs is still listed as a provider). Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. The current page 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 one day after fal's previous change, "fal doubles Flux 3 Image edit price to $0.048 per megapixel" (Oct 19, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "fal adds Flux 3 Image editing at $0.024 per megapixel to Model API" (Oct 12, 2026), "fal hikes GPU rates up to 33%, adds GB200 tier and Nano Banana 2/Pro models" (Oct 5, 2026) and "fal: H100 GPU list price increase ($3.99→$4.50/h)" (Aug 5, 2026). fal has been tracked since 2026-07-15.
In the same window Together AI, Runwayml, Huggingface, Anthropic and Modal also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
