fal's pricing page publishes a "Model APIs Pricing" rate card by model and billing unit (for example "Nano Banana Pro" at "$0.15" per image) and states "Prices are per listed billing unit; units per $1 are approximate." Its docs add "fal uses a prepaid credit model. You purchase credits in advance and they are drawn down as you use the platform."
