How much does Banana cost?

Banana publishes 2 tiers, from Free for Scale up to $0.0005/per-second for Starter. The cheapest paid tier is Free.

Does Banana have a free plan?

Not on the record we hold: Banana is listed as usage-based. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

What is the difference between Scale and Starter on Banana?

Starter costs $0.0005/per-second against Free, and adds a10g gpu, basic support.

Does Banana charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Banana prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare Banana against before paying?

Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Banana to make a useful price comparison.

Banana pricing

Banana publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: $0.0005/per-second
Model: Usage-based
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Not on record

Banana plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Banana pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Scale	Free	2	Entry tier
Starter	$0.0005/per-second	2	+$0.0005/per-second, 2 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Scale

Free

The entry tier. It covers volume discounts, dedicated support.

What the product covers

The full Banana feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

Core

GPU inference
Auto-scaling
Docker deployment
Low latency

Integrations

REST API
Python SDK

Platform

Cloud support
Api support

People bring Banana in for historically, serverless gpu inference for machine learning models, migration reference for teams that ran models on banana before the 2024 shutdown. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Banana are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Banana

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and $0.0005/per-second, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Banana against the tools that do have one before committing.

Banana runs on cloud, api, and is published by Banana Dev of San Francisco, California. The full record is on the Banana review.
