Question 1

What is NodeTool?

Accepted Answer

NodeTool is the open-source creative AI workspace. Every major model from every major provider — FAL, KIE, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, and more — is called with your own keys and wired into one node-based canvas. Image, video, audio, and text live on the same surface, with editing tools like masks, inpaint, outpaint, relight, upscale, layers, and compositing built in. Runs as a desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux, or in the browser via NodeTool Cloud.

Question 2

How is NodeTool different from ComfyUI?

Accepted Answer

ComfyUI is a Stable Diffusion power tool built for engineers. NodeTool is the full creative workspace — image, video, audio, and text on one canvas, with the editing tools creatives actually use. NodeTool also supports far more models across providers and media types, called with your own keys at provider prices.

Question 3

How is NodeTool different from Weavy or other closed SaaS canvases?

Accepted Answer

Closed canvases lock you into a credit system and a hand-picked list of models. NodeTool is open source. You bring your own API keys to every provider, pay providers directly at provider prices, and own your workflows and files. Cloud is just our managed hosting of the same open-source code you can run yourself.

Question 4

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

NodeTool Studio is free to download and use. NodeTool Cloud is a subscription for managed hosting. In both editions, you bring your own API keys to every provider and pay those providers directly at their list prices. NodeTool does not run models for you on its own servers, does not issue its own credits, and does not mark up model calls.

Question 5

What models does NodeTool support?

Accepted Answer

The latest models, including Flux, Seedance, Wan, Veo, Kling, Hailuo, Qwen Image, Whisper, ElevenLabs, and Suno, called through providers like FAL, KIE, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, Together, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, and HuggingFace. Models can also run on your own machine via MLX, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and LM Studio.

Question 6

Who is NodeTool for?

Accepted Answer

Independent generative artists, motion designers, AI-native illustrators, technical art directors, ComfyUI power users frustrated with the UX, and small creative studios, brand teams, and post-production shops working with AI every day.

Question 7

Is NodeTool open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both Studio and Cloud share the same AGPL-3.0 codebase. There is no closed-source layer and no "pro tier" hiding the good features. You can self-host any time.
