Replicate vs Together AI: tool pricing compared
Updated 2026-11-10 · listed A to Z, not ranked
Replicate runs open-source and proprietary machine learning models through an API. Some public models bill by input and output (per image, per token, per second of video); most bill by the time they run on a given hardware type, priced per second.
Together AI hosts open-source and partner models behind a serverless API, rents GPU clusters, and runs fine-tuning jobs. Serverless inference bills per 1M tokens (with cheaper cached input on many models); GPUs bill per GPU hour.
