Replicate free tier: quotas, limits and gotchas
Replicate Free Tier
How Amo and Pimi look
No free version – the official pricing page doesn't even list a trial quota, and I need to say that upfront. Chinese support is none, all English, hard enough just to read the price list. And private models are billed by 'total powered-on time,' including startup and idle waiting, not just actual compute time – that kind of billing can easily spiral out of control. H100 is US$0.001525 per second, about US$5.49 per hour – heavy use could genuinely give you sticker shock.
Fair point, but it does offer thousands of open-source generation models on demand without needing your own GPU — that's a lifesaver for developers without money for one, Amo! FLUX Dev is US$0.025 per image, so 100 images costs about US$2.5 — pay-per-use pricing that's totally transparent. GPU rates span six tiers from CPU Small to H100, covering both light and heavy usage, credit card accepted, and no regional restrictions.
So, do you need to pay or not?
Developers running open-source generation models: Pay-as-you-go is the most flexible, with FLUX Dev at US$0.025/image being very cheap. However, there is no free version, so it's recommended to test with a small amount before subscribing. Private models are also charged when idle, so remember to turn them off after use.

Watch out for this
它**沒有免費額度**，但按秒計費、不用就不收錢，所以偶爾用反而比月費訂閱便宜——生 100 張 FLUX Dev 圖約 US$2.5。真正要注意的是「私有模型」：專屬硬體連**閒置等待的時間都要算錢**，不只是實際運算。
