Pricing
PaidFireworks AI's serverless inference is pay-per-token with postpaid billing and $1 in free starter credits, with per-model rates across Standard, Priority, and Fast tiers detailed in its documentation (e.g. GLM 5.2 at $1.40/M input and $4.40/M output tokens, MiniMax M3 at $0.30/M input and $1.20/M output tokens). Embeddings are priced by base model size, from $0.008 to $0.10 per 1M input tokens. Training is priced per 1M training tokens for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and direct preference optimization (DPO): LoRA SFT ranges from $0.50 (models up to 16B parameters) to $10.00 (models over 300B), with Full Param SFT and DPO costing roughly 2-4x more depending on model size and method. Reinforcement fine-tuning is billed per GPU hour at on-demand rates. The Serverless Training API charges separately for prefill, cached prefill, sample, and train tokens (e.g. Qwen 3.5 9B at $0.66-$1.995 per 1M tokens depending on operation). On-demand GPU deployments are billed per GPU hour: $7.00 for H100 or H200, $10.00 for B200, $12.00 for B300, and $18.00 for GB300, with region-restricted (US/Europe) deployments priced at 1.5x standard rates. Reserved and enterprise capacity pricing is available by contacting sales.
FreemiumPro: €12/month or €7/month (billed yearly at €84/year) for 500 credits/month. Ultra: €64/month or €44.66/month (billed yearly at €253/year per seat) for 2500 credits/month. Enterprise: Custom pricing. Limited free trial credits are available, with full credit balance unlocking after a paid plan subscription.

Fireworks AI Pros & Cons
Pros
- Founded by former core PyTorch engineers with deep inference optimization expertise
- OpenAI and Anthropic-compatible API simplifies migration from closed-model providers
- Proprietary FireAttention and FireOptimizer deliver strong throughput and latency gains
- Full spectrum of training options from guided runs to fully custom RL loops
- Proven at massive scale, processing tens of trillions of tokens daily for 10,000+ customers
- Backed by major investors and used in production by Cursor, Notion, Vercel, and Quora
Cons
- Pricing is spread across serverless, on-demand, and training pages, requiring some effort to estimate total costs
- Region-restricted deployments in the US or Europe cost 1.5x standard on-demand rates
- Reserved and enterprise capacity requires contacting sales rather than transparent self-serve pricing
- Reinforcement fine-tuning billed per GPU hour can be harder to predict than flat per-token pricing
- Primarily focused on open-weight models, so access to fully closed frontier models is more limited
