Free to download. You pay providers, not us.
NodeTool Studio is free and open source. Current Cloud alpha access is free, and future Cloud pricing has not been announced. In both, provider charges are separate: you connect your own supported provider accounts and pay those providers directly.

Use your subscription
Run NodeTool on the AI plan you already pay for.
Sign in with ChatGPT or Claude, and the agent runs on your subscription. Your ChatGPT and Gemini plans also generate images, and Gemini generates video. No API key, and no pay-per-call bill for those runs. They count against your plan's own limits.
| Plan | Chat and agent | Images | Video |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | |||
| Claude | |||
| Gemini |
Subscriptions run in Studio, the desktop app. Gemini also needs the NodeTool Chrome extension in the browser where you are signed in.
What is the difference between Studio and Cloud?
Studio is the free desktop app and runs on your machine, local models included. Cloud is the same open-source workspace in a browser tab, free while it is in alpha. Both call providers with your own keys. For work you are being paid for, use Studio: it is the finished edition.

How does bringing your own keys work?
You add your own API keys for the providers you use, such as FAL, KIE, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Replicate. Every request goes straight to those providers and you pay them their published prices. NodeTool does not issue its own credits or add a provider-price markup. Cloud access and pricing can change during the alpha, so check the Cloud page before relying on a particular plan.
The same model, priced twice
NodeTool bills you nothing per generation — you hold the keys and pay each provider its list price. Set a workload and compare it with the same models bought as Figma Weave credits.
- 750 images / month$0.035 / image
Stills, variations, and every reroll you throw away.
- 24 clips / month$0.0175 / second
A provider bills the second, a credit plan bills the clip — so the length matters to one side and not the other.
- 120 minutes / month$50 / 1M characters
Narration minutes, billed by character (~950 per minute). Figma Weave has no voice model, so this line has nothing to compare against.

The same models on Figma Weave
$45.00/ month
3,744 of 4,000 credits. Against $29.61 for the same images and clips on your own keys.
4 credits an image, 31.01 a clip, derived from Figma Weave's own table. It prices a clip, not a second, and does not publish clip length.
The picker holds the 10 models Figma Weave sells that Kie or AtlasCloud also serves, so both columns price the same model. Its other 13 are left out because neither provider carries them. Prices via genspend.io, updated 2026-08-23. Figma Weave plans read 2026-08-24. Local models through Ollama, MLX, and llama.cpp cost nothing per call.
Frequently asked questions
What does "bring your own keys" mean for me?
It means you connect your own provider accounts and pay each provider directly at its published price. NodeTool does not add a credit system or a provider-price markup. The provider still receives the requests you send to its models. You will sometimes see this written as BYOK.
Read more →Can I use my ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini subscription?
Yes, in Studio. Sign in with ChatGPT or Claude, and the agent runs on that subscription instead of an API key. With the NodeTool Chrome extension, NodeTool also uses the ChatGPT or Gemini tab you are signed in to: ChatGPT generates images, and Gemini runs chat, images, and video. Those runs count against your plan's limits, so you get no pay-per-call bill for them. Every run shows up in your ChatGPT or Gemini history.
Read more →How much does NodeTool cost?
NodeTool Studio, the desktop app, is free and open source. Cloud pricing and access can change during alpha, so check the Cloud page before use. In both editions, provider charges are separate: you connect your own provider account and pay that provider directly. Supported local models in Studio have no provider charge per call, but they use your hardware and electricity.
Read more →Does NodeTool mark up model pricing?
No. There are no credits and no markup. You bring your own API keys and pay each provider their list price directly. You can also run local models with Ollama, MLX, or llama.cpp in the desktop app for no per-call cost at all.
Read more →Studio or Cloud — which should I use?
Use Studio for real projects. It is the desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It works with online AI providers without a graphics card, and it can run supported AI models on your own computer if the hardware is strong enough. Cloud runs in your web browser and is in alpha, an early test version, so use it to try NodeTool. Moving projects between Cloud and Studio may not cover everything during the alpha, so check that the move you need works before you rely on it.
Read more →Can I run models locally?
Yes. NodeTool Studio runs open-weight models on your own hardware through MLX (Apple Silicon), Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and LM Studio. Nothing leaves your machine unless you call a cloud provider yourself.
