fal.ai: prices per generation and a no-code alternative

fal.ai is an API for developers: models are called from code, and each result is paid from a prepaid USD balance. For example, Nano Banana Pro costs $0.15 per image, and Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro $0.35 per 5 seconds. In Mixer AI the same models run without code: in Studio, the node-based Canvas, the Telegram bot, or from ChatGPT and Claude via MCP.
