Choose a model variant before comparing per-image and per-megapixel prices.
Z-Image pricing: ModelRush variants vs fal Turbo
Key takeawayTurbo, Cherry Spicy and Cherry Rogue are different model choices. Compare their billing units and available settings, not just the smallest number.

Start creating

Open Z-Image Turbo for the standard Turbo workflow. For the Cherry variants, open Spicy or Rogue. Choose a size and review the displayed quote before generating. Cherry variants require adult eligibility, age confirmation and compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy.

Which Z-Image are you buying?

ModelRush exposes modelrush/z-image-turbo, separately from cherry/zimage-spicy and cherry/zimage-rogue. On October 5, 2026, the listed price was Turbo Standard at $0.017 per image and Turbo Prompt Extend at $0.033 per image, in Singapore. Cherry Spicy and Rogue were $0.006 per image in Beijing. These are dated examples; use the current pricing table below and the pre-generation quote for today's price. Each variant has its own settings and output style.

Compare fal's unit

The official fal Turbo page, checked October 5, 2026, lists $0.005 per megapixel for fal-ai/z-image/turbo. ModelRush's per-image price and fal's per-megapixel price need a matching output size, image count and billing/rounding rule before comparison. For example, a larger image changes a per-megapixel bill, while a per-image rate is tied to the selected option. Try the same prompt and dimensions to choose the output you prefer.

A useful first image

Describe one adult character, outfit, pose, setting and lighting. Use the same prompt and dimensions when comparing variants, and keep the output you prefer. Cherry supports one image per request, dimensions from 512 to 1536 in multiples of 64, and prompts up to 4000 characters. Adjust the prompt to refine the result.
For a multi-shot story, use Design shots and Papaya planning, then choose a video model. Compare LTX video options.
