Modal
Serverless compute platform for GPU inference, model training, batch processing, and containerized Python workloads. It bills resource consumption by execution time and provides a monthly included compute allowance on its Starter plan.
Data status: partially_verified · Checked: 2026-10-16
Good fit if
On-demand CPU, memory, GPU, volume, and network resources with scale-to-zero behavior for supported workloads.
May not fit if
Compute, GPU, memory, storage, egress, region multipliers, and non-preemptible execution have separate rates; shared endpoint tokens are not covered by Starter compute credits.
Features and benefits
- On-demand CPU, memory, GPU, volume, and network resources with scale-to-zero behavior for supported workloads.
- Starter plan has no monthly platform fee and includes $30 monthly compute credits, subject to eligible compute categories.
Limitations
- Compute, GPU, memory, storage, egress, region multipliers, and non-preemptible execution have separate rates; shared endpoint tokens are not covered by Starter compute credits.
- The Team plan adds a $250 monthly platform charge plus compute; actual totals depend on requested resources and runtime.
Pricing
Starter compute credits
0 USD · free
Starter has $0 platform fee and includes $30/month compute credits. Compute above the allowance and excluded token-priced shared endpoints can incur charges; this is not unlimited free use.
