- Highly cost-effective compared to maintaining dedicated GPU infrastructure
- Often provides the earliest API access to new flagship models (e.g., FLUX.1, Kling)
- Strictly a developer platform requiring API/code integration; no native no-code GUI
- Costs can scale rapidly with high-volume, continuous generation workloads
- Less granular control over deep fine-tuning compared to self-hosting models
