AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
You buy Friendli Suite through a contract plan at one of three fixed commitment levels: $5,000, $10,000, or $20,000. Each plan sets a prepaid amount you draw against as you run AI inference. The plans share the same structure and differ only by the committed dollar amount you select. If your usage goes beyond your plan's committed amount, the Additional Usage Fee covers that overage. This lets you pick a commitment that matches expected demand while still allowing room to scale past it.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the committed amount in each plan actually pay for?
Your committed amount funds AI inference you run through FriendliAI. You draw against it as you generate output. Inference can be billed per token for model API usage or per GPU time for dedicated compute, depending on how you deploy.
What happens when my usage goes past my plan's committed amount?
The Additional Usage Fee covers any inference beyond your committed amount. You keep running without stopping at the limit. Overage accrues under the usage fee dimension rather than requiring you to move to a different plan.
Do I pay for GPU time that sits idle between inference requests?
For on-demand dedicated inference, you pay for the compute you use, billed per second, with no extra charges for start-up time. Serverless model API usage bills per token, so you pay only for processed input and output, not idle time.

Friendli AI – Optimizing AI Performance, Scalability, and Operational Efficiency
Reviewed on Oct 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Friendli AI is its focus on fast and efficient AI model inference, helping applications generate responses with low latency and optimized resource utilization. It supports scalable AI deployment and makes it easier to integrate AI capabilities into business workflows, improving automation potential, productivity, and overall operational efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area for improvement is making model deployment and configuration more intuitive, especially for users without a strong technical background. Clearer documentation, simpler integration options, and more transparent pricing and performance comparisons would make Friendli AI easier to adopt and manage for different business needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Friendli AI helps optimize AI model deployment and inference, enabling faster response generation and more efficient use of computing resources. This can reduce latency, support scalable AI-powered workflows, and improve the efficiency of automation initiatives. It helps businesses explore AI solutions that reduce manual effort, streamline operations, and enhance overall productivity.

Fast, Reliable Inference with a Great Dashboard and Helpful Docs
Reviewed on Oct 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the inference speed they provide. We mainly fine-tune several models for our document extraction, so inference needs to be fast, and this platform has been reliable, quick, and works well for us. The dashboard also has a very good user interface, and the support documentation helped us get set up without spending a lot of time at the beginning. Integration with other platforms, mainly Hugging Face, was smooth as well. I also really like their AI-based inference optimizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their pricing model isn’t very transparent, since it’s charged per endpoint and per GPU hour, so the overall cost can add up quickly. Also, the advanced settings for modifying our AI models took some time to understand and figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main challenge for us was finding a reliable, fast platform where we could host our AI models. Previously, we ran our models on other platforms, but they came with several issues. With this platform, any modification is quick, and it’s reliable, which helps ensure our main pipeline runs fast and consistently. It has also improved our processing time overall.

Flexible Friendli AI Deployment Across Hardware, Containers, and Serverless APIs
Reviewed on Oct 20, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We can deploy Friendli AI with our own hardware, containers or serverless APIs. This creates flexibility for where we choose to use the product and keep the deployment as close as possible to the use case. Onboarding is made easier since we don't have to buy brand new hardware.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can use a bit more polish. It is getting there but I think as the product continues to mature, the UX will come along with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Friendli is helping us with integrations throughout the entire organization. We have a lot of data points and this is really helping to tie it all together.
