Modal cost questions

How is Modal billed?

Modal is billed per metered unit of usage. See the table above for each dimension and its rate, and the official pricing page for plan minimums and included allowances.

Why is my Modal bill higher than expected?

The per-unit rate is only one of the four numbers that set your bill. The others are how much your app uses Modal, how often, and across how many users. Long prompts, retries, multi-step agents, and uncached repeated context all multiply the rate. PrePrice models that usage from your code so the number is real, not a guess.

Where do these Modal prices come from?

From Modal's official pricing page (modal.com), verified June 14, 2026 and re-checked on a schedule. Pricing changes often, so confirm the live rate before you commit.
