NodeTool Cloud is in alpha — run workflows in the browser, on your own keys.NodeTool Cloud is in alpha. Try it →
Free to download. You pay providers, not us.
NodeTool Studio is free and open source. NodeTool Cloud is free while it is in alpha, and a hosting subscription follows at full release. In both, you bring your own API keys and pay each provider their list price. No credit packs, no token markups, and no curated list of models you are stuck with.

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 run models on its own servers, does not issue its own credits, and does not add a markup. A Cloud subscription pays for hosting the workspace, nothing more.
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 their list price. NodeTool never adds a markup, never sells its own credits, and never runs models on its own servers. Your keys, your bill, your data. You will sometimes see this written as BYOK.
Read more →How much does NodeTool cost?
NodeTool Studio, the desktop app, is free and open source. NodeTool Cloud is free while it is in alpha. At full release a subscription covers hosting, at a price announced before anyone is charged. In both editions you bring your own API keys and pay each provider their list price directly, so what a run costs is whatever the provider charges for it. Local models through Ollama, MLX, or llama.cpp cost nothing per call.
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?
Studio, unless you cannot install software. Studio is the desktop app: free, open source, running on your machine, with local models through MLX, Ollama, and GGUF, and it is the finished edition — the one to use for work you are being paid for. Cloud is the same workspace in the browser, with nothing to install and no graphics card needed, and your keys still go straight to the providers. It is in alpha, so expect breaking changes and occasional downtime. The workflows are the same either way and move between the two.
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.
