Every model Fireworks AI prices, with its score
Prices are US dollars per million tokens, read from Fireworks serverless pricing docs (linked from fireworks.ai/pricing) on the date above. The score is our 100-point rating of the model, the same on every host. “vs maker” compares this host’s output rate with the model maker’s own API.

Questions
How much does the Fireworks AI API cost?
Fireworks AI bills per million tokens, with separate input and output rates for each model. On October 20, 2026 its output rates ran from $0.20 on NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B to $22.50 across 18 paid models. Input is usually cheaper than output, so a long prompt with a short reply costs less than the output rate suggests.
Which models can you run on Fireworks AI?
18 text models are listed, and 10 of them match a model we score. The highest-scoring is Qwen3.8 Max at 81. The table on this page has every model with its input, output and cached-input rate, the context window, and the date we read the price.
Is Fireworks AI fast?
In our paid September 1, 2026 run, Fireworks AI returned a median of 2.72 seconds on DeepSeek V4 Flash and 5.94 seconds on GLM-5.2, over 450 requests per model. That is one workload on one date, so check your own prompts before you rely on it.
What are the alternatives to Fireworks AI?
OpenRouter lists 9 of the same models and charges less output per token on 4 of them. DeepInfra and Novita AI also overlap. Price is only part of the choice: speed, rate limits and which model snapshot a host serves differ too.
