If you want to run AI models yourself but don’t want to rent a GPU, Modal’s Starter plan has a $0 monthly fee and includes $30 of compute credits each month, billed by the second. I did the math using the prices on its official website to see how long $30 would last.
✅ $30 gets you roughly
1️⃣ 50 hours on a T4 GPU
2️⃣ 27 hours on an A10; according to the official example, generating 1,000 images on an A10 costs about $0.49
3️⃣ 12 hours on an A100 80G, or a little over 7 hours on an H100
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
Usage beyond $30 is billed as you go, so it’s best to set your own spending limit
Starting September 1, its Shared Endpoints will be billed by token and won’t count toward the $30
After a container finishes running, it stays up for 60 seconds by default, and that time is billed too
I haven’t confirmed whether you need to add a card when signing up
It seems great for experimenting with open-source models and generating images in batches. Where do you usually find free compute?
