Apps that mix media
One API key and one credit balance cover video, image, music and chat models, so you skip a separate account with each provider.
Cost-conscious developers
The pricing table shows each model's rate next to the official or Fal price, and many rows sit well below the official API.
Video generation at volume
Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 are priced per clip or per second, with no subscription to keep up.

You pay only for successful generations from a prepaid balance, which suits testing several models before picking one.
