Replicate pricing overview

With Replicate, you only pay for what you use.

Pricing is typically based on usage per second, or per image, video, audio file, or token. Different models run on different hardware—such as standard CPUs, Nvidia T4 GPUs, or high-performance Nvidia H100 GPUs—and take varying amounts of time to process tasks.¹ As a result, each model is priced individually. You can find cost estimates under the "Run time and cost" section on each model’s page.

If your AI product powered by Replicate receives a lot of traffic, Replicate automatically scales up to meet the demand.² If there’s no traffic, it scales down to zero usage—so you don’t get charged at all.

What is the pricing currency for Replicate in Singapore?

Replicate charges all users, including those in Singapore, in USD.

• The only payment method available for users in Singapore is adding a credit or debit card to your account.
• At this time, Singapore users cannot link a bank account for billing purposes, as Replicate only supports U.S. banks.

It’s also not possible to pre-fund your account or maintain an account balance. Billing is strictly pay-as-you-go, based on your actual usage. To manage costs, you can set a spending limit to ensure you never exceed your preferred budget.

You might also encounter a couple of other scenarios where your business in Singapore gets billed for a business software in a foreign currency rather than SGD. By understanding these scenarios, you can take proactive steps to manage your billing effectively and avoid unnecessary foreign transaction fees.

💡Considerations for Cross-Currency Billing:
Centralised Payment Systems: If your business (eg. a Singapore subsidiary) uses a centralised payment system or corporate credit card based in another country, your subscription might be linked to this system, resulting in billing in the currency of the payment system rather than SGD. This can lead to additional currency conversion fees.
Initial Account Setup: If your subscription was initially set up by your business in another country before establishing a branch in Singapore, the account might still be billed in the original currency unless updated. This is another scenario where you might incur cross-currency charges.

Using a multi-currency account card like Wise Business Card allows you to save on costs by giving you access to mid-market exchange rates, with no hidden markups or foreign transaction fees.
