ComfyUI Pricing 2026: Free Locally, Comfy Cloud Compared

The software costs nothing. The GPUs do. What each Comfy Cloud tier includes, how the credit pool converts into actual renders, and the two limits — model import and runtime — that decide your tier more often than credits do.

Are you renting VRAM, or renting a product?

Comfy Cloud sells 96GB cards and a node graph you already know. A bundled creative subscription sells finished output. Those are different purchases at similar monthly prices — decide which one you actually want before comparing the numbers.

Prices read off Comfy's monthly/yearly toggle in August 2026; the yearly toggle advertises up to 20% off, and Team quotes a 10% ($70) saving. Video counts are Comfy's own estimate on the Wan 2.2 image-to-video template at default settings. Team's credit allocation is selectable (42.2K, 84.4K, 147.7K, 295.4K, 527.5K) — check the current tiers on comfy.org/pricing.

Understanding Each Plan

Local ComfyUI — $0

Download the desktop app and run every workflow on your own hardware. No seat, no credit, no cap on runtime. The only limit is your VRAM — and on a consumer card, that limit arrives sooner than most people expect once video models enter the graph.

Where it stops:

Models that need more VRAM than your card has
Running several heavy jobs in parallel
Proprietary models — those need Partner Node credits

Standard — $20/month, or $16/month billed yearly

4,200 credits, roughly 380 five-second videos, and access to the 900+ pre-installed model library. The entry tier, with one hard constraint that matters more than the credit count: you cannot bring your own models.

30-minute cap on any single workflow run
Top-up credits available at any time, and they roll over
Pre-installed library only — no CivitAI or Hugging Face imports

Creator — $35/month, or $28/month billed yearly

Comfy’s own “most popular” tier, and for good reason: it is the cheapest plan that lets you import custom models and LoRAs from CivitAI or Hugging Face. For anyone with a trained style, this is the real floor.

7,400 monthly credits — roughly 670 five-second videos
Custom model and LoRA importing
Still capped at 30 minutes per run

Pro — $100/month, or $80/month billed yearly

21,100 credits and, uniquely, a one-hour runtime ceiling instead of thirty minutes. If long renders are your bottleneck rather than volume, that single line is what you are buying.

~1,915 five-second videos a month at the benchmark settings
1-hour maximum workflow runtime
Custom model importing, parallel job execution

Team — $700/month, or $630/month billed yearly

A seven-fold jump from Pro, and it is not primarily about credits — it is about several people drawing on one balance without stepping on each other. Comfy quotes a 10% ($70) yearly saving here rather than the 20% on lower tiers.

147,700 credits by default; selectable from 42.2K up to 527.5K
Invite members, concurrent workflow runs, shared credit pool
Role-based permissions; shared workflows and projects listed as coming soon
Enterprise sits above it for custom member counts and features

What the Pricing Page Doesn't Tell You

Standard is a different product, not a smaller one

No custom model import means no LoRAs, no fine-tunes, no CivitAI checkpoints. Anyone who came to ComfyUI specifically to run their own weights will find Standard unusable regardless of credit balance — Creator at $28 billed yearly is the honest entry price for that user.

Team does not raise the runtime cap

The one-hour job limit is a Pro feature, and Team — at seven times the price — is back to thirty minutes. If your team’s bottleneck is long renders rather than concurrency, Team is a downgrade on the axis you care about. Check this before scaling up.

The video count is one specific benchmark

“~380 videos” assumes Wan 2.2 image-to-video at 81 frames, 18fps, 640x640 with a 4-step sampler. Move to a higher resolution, a longer clip or a heavier sampler and the real number falls fast. Treat those figures as a unit of account, not a forecast.

Partner Node credits work locally too

This one cuts in your favour. Credits bought against a cloud plan can be spent on proprietary models — Nano Banana Pro and similar — from a local ComfyUI install. A cheap Standard subscription can therefore function as a credit account for an otherwise entirely local setup.

Which ComfyUI Plan Should You Pick?

Stay local (free) if:

Your card handles the models you actually use
You render one job at a time and time is not scarce

Choose Standard ($20/mo, $16 yearly) if:

The 900+ pre-installed library covers your workflows
You mainly want 96GB of VRAM occasionally, not constantly

Choose Creator ($35/mo, $28 yearly) if:

You have your own LoRAs or fine-tunes — this is the cheapest tier that allows them
Roughly 670 short videos a month is enough headroom

Choose Pro ($100/mo, $80 yearly) if:

Single runs regularly exceed thirty minutes
You need sustained volume rather than occasional bursts

Choose Team ($700/mo, $630 yearly) if:

Several people need to run workflows concurrently against one balance
Role-based permissions are a requirement, not a nice-to-have

Not sure? Ask two questions in order: do I need to import my own models, and does a single run take more than thirty minutes? The first answer picks Creator over Standard; the second picks Pro over everything. Credit volume is the tiebreaker, not the decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ComfyUI free?

Yes. ComfyUI itself is free and open source — you download the desktop app, run it on your own GPU and pay nothing, forever. The pricing everyone actually searches for is Comfy Cloud, the hosted service that runs the same workflows on rented GPUs. Those are two separate decisions: the software is free, the compute is not.

How much does Comfy Cloud cost?

On monthly billing, Standard is $20, Creator is $35, Pro is $100 and Team is $700 a month. Billed yearly those drop to $16, $28, $80 and $630 a month respectively — $192, $336, $960 and $7,560 for the year. Enterprise is a conversation. There is also a free trial of 5 runs on real GPUs with no credit card.

How many credits does each Comfy Cloud plan include?

Standard includes 4,200 monthly credits, Creator 7,400, Pro 21,100 and Team 147,700 at its default tier. Comfy translates those into roughly 380, 670, 1,915 and 13,405 five-second videos, benchmarked on the Wan 2.2 image-to-video template at default settings — 81 frames, 18fps, 640x640, 4-step sampler. Change the model or the resolution and that ratio changes with it.

Do unused Comfy Cloud credits roll over?

The monthly subscription pool does not roll over, but purchased top-ups do — Comfy states that unused add-on credits carry to the next month automatically for up to one year. That is a meaningful distinction for spiky workloads: buying a top-up in a busy month is not use-it-or-lose-it the way the base allowance is.

What hardware does Comfy Cloud run on?

Blackwell RTX 6000 Pro cards with 96GB of VRAM. That number is the real argument for the cloud tiers: 96GB comfortably runs models that will not fit on a consumer card, so the comparison is not 'my GPU versus theirs' but 'the models I can run versus the models I cannot'. You are billed only for active GPU time — building a workflow costs nothing.

Which Comfy Cloud plan lets me import my own models?

Creator, Pro and Team. Standard does not — it is limited to the 900+ pre-installed model library. If your workflow depends on a specific LoRA or checkpoint from CivitAI or Hugging Face, Standard is not a cheaper version of the plan you need, it is the wrong plan, and Creator at $35 a month (or $28 billed yearly) is the actual entry point.

What is the workflow runtime limit on Comfy Cloud?

Every run is capped at 30 minutes on Standard, Creator and Team; Pro raises it to one hour. Jobs that exceed the cap are cancelled automatically. Long batch renders and heavy video jobs are exactly the workloads that hit this, so if a single run routinely takes more than half an hour the runtime cap — not the credit count — is what pushes you to Pro.

Do Partner Nodes like Nano Banana cost extra?

They draw from the same credit pool as your GPU time rather than being billed separately, and the amount depends on the model and parameters you set. Usefully, those credits work across both Comfy Cloud and local ComfyUI — so a local installation can still call proprietary models against a cloud subscription's balance.
