# ComfyUI online without installing or a GPU

ComfyUI is an open-source app: you build a graph of nodes, but you run it on your own computer with a suitable GPU and install Python, models and nodes. The official Comfy Cloud costs from $20 a month. If you need results rather than your own setup, Mixer AI has the Canvas node board: it runs in the browser and you pay per generation.

## Canvas in action

Canvas in Mixer AI: a node graph in the browser, nothing to install. A Canvas graph: six character and location references, a prompt and a Seedance 2.5 node build a 30-second MMA trailer.

## What ComfyUI needs on your own computer

- Windows, Linux or macOS on Apple Silicon (M1–M4).

- An NVIDIA GPU from the 20 series up, an AMD GPU with ROCm, or Apple Silicon; it can run without a GPU, but slowly.

- Python (3.13 recommended) and PyTorch; models and custom nodes are downloaded separately.

- There is a Comfy Desktop app for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon and Linux.

## An image-to-video graph with nothing to install

Open Canvas. Sign in to Mixer AI and create a Canvas project — nothing to install.

Add an image node. Choose an image model such as Z-Image or Nano Banana Pro and describe the frame.

Add a video node. Choose Wan 3.0 or Kling 3.0 and connect the first node's result to it.

Run. Each node's price is shown before the run; you pay only for the nodes you run.

## Models familiar to ComfyUI users

## FAQ

Can I run ComfyUI online without a GPU?

Yes, in the cloud: the official Comfy Cloud costs from $20 a month. If you do not need your own setup, the Canvas node board in Mixer AI runs in the browser with pay-as-you-go billing.

Which GPU does ComfyUI need?

According to the ComfyUI docs: NVIDIA 20 series and newer, AMD with ROCm, or Apple Silicon. Memory needs depend on the model and are not listed in the docs.

Can I load my own LoRA or custom nodes in Canvas?

No. Canvas works with Mixer AI catalog models. If you need your own weights and nodes, ComfyUI fits better.

How much does Comfy Cloud cost?

According to the pricing page as of 26.10.2026: Standard $20, Creator $35, Pro $100 a month; billed yearly — $16, $28 and $80 a month.

Does Mixer AI need a subscription?

No. You top up the balance and pay for each generation at the model's price.
