Stable Diffusion Pricing in 2026 — All Plans Compared
Free
Free (self-hosted, unlimited)
Starter
For individuals and small teams getting started.
Enterprise
For large organizations with custom requirements.
Is the Free Tier Enough?
Stable Diffusion offers a free tier: Free (self-hosted, unlimited)
The free plan works well for individual users and small teams getting started. If you need advanced features, more storage, or team collaboration, you will likely need to upgrade to the Starter or Pro plan. We recommend starting free and upgrading only when you hit a concrete limitation.
Which Plan Should You Pick?
Best if you are a solo user testing Stable Diffusion or need basic functionality without paying.
Best for freelancers and small teams (2-5 people) who need core features at Free (local) or ~$0.002/image (cloud GPU)/mo.
Best for organizations 50+ that need SSO, custom contracts, SLA guarantees, and dedicated support at Stability AI API pricing/mo.
