Simple pricing
With Modal, you always pay for what you use, and nothing more. You never pay for idle resources — just actual compute time, down to the percentage.

CPU tasks
Modal measures the CPU utilization continuously in terms of the number of fractional physical cores. Each physical core is equivalent to 2 vCPUs.
Memory consumption is measured continuously. For both memory and CPU, you only pay for what you actually use, and nothing more.
Example: Cron job
You schedule a job to run once an hour for 15 seconds. This job uses 50% of one CPU core and 256 MiB of memory.
This job will cost $0.016/day for the CPU, and $0.001/day for the memory, adding up to $0.017/day, or $0.51/month.
GPU tasks
GPU tasks are charged a flat fee per hour. We don't charge extra for your additional CPU and memory usage; you get the entire machine.
Our GPU instances have NVIDIA T4 processors. Other server GPUs like A100s and multi-GPU options are coming soon!
Example: Stable diffusion
You run stable diffusion on a GPU. This will run for about 30 seconds to generate each image, which will cost about $0.0175/image.
