ComfyUI

Description

ComfyUI, from Comfy Org, is an AI creation engine for visual professionals who want control over every model, parameter, and output. It uses a node-based canvas where users connect models, processing steps, and outputs so every decision is visible and every step is inspectable. Users can start from a community template or build a workflow from scratch to generate images, video, 3D, and audio.

The project began in January 2023 as an open-source tool that was the first to chain multiple AI models into a repeatable workflow, and it has grown into a professional standard for visual AI. It is powered by an ecosystem of 60,000+ nodes, thousands of community workflows, and support for the latest models, including recent releases such as Seedance 2.5, LTX 2.5, Wan Animate 2, and MiniMax H3.

Comfy is available in several forms: Comfy Desktop to run ComfyUI on your own hardware for free, Comfy Cloud to run the full power of ComfyUI from anywhere, Comfy API to turn workflows into production endpoints, and Comfy Enterprise for organizations. Comfy Cloud runs on high-end GPUs, includes 900+ pre-installed models, supports popular community custom nodes, and lets users import their own models and LoRAs from CivitAI or Hugging Face on eligible plans. Partner Nodes let users run proprietary models such as Nano Banana Pro from within a workflow, drawing on the same credit pool.

Comfy Cloud uses usage-based pricing with a free tier of 5 GPU runs and no credit card. Paid plans (Standard, Creator, Pro) offer monthly credit pools spent on active GPU runtime and Partner Nodes, with longer runtimes and more concurrency on higher tiers, plus a Team plan with a shared credit pool and Enterprise options. Users are charged only for active GPU time, and top-up credits stay valid for a year.
