Our take
Pick Replicate if developers who want one HTTP call per model without standing up GPUs. Pick Roboflow if cV teams who will stay on Free ($0 / 10 credits/month) while they self-host Inference, then buy Core at $39/month when cloud train + API credits run out. Skip Replicate if people who want a canvas studio (Leonardo) or a local node graph (ComfyUI).
