Use tool ↗About RunDiffusion
RunDiffusion boots private cloud instances of open-source image software (ComfyUI, Automatic1111, Fooocus and the Kohya trainer) so you can use them without a local GPU or a Python environment to babysit. Alongside those sessions it now sells Runnit, a board-based workspace where image, video and training workflows are assembled from prebuilt nodes and paid for in tokens. A documented REST API covers starting generations, managing boards, retrieving past results and querying token spend.

Pros & cons of RunDiffusion
The pragmatic pick when you want ComfyUI or Automatic1111 running in ten minutes on hardware you do not own and do not want to configure. If you already have a 16GB+ GPU, or you are happy with RunPod's raw containers, everything above that is a convenience premium.
Pros
- sessions arrive preloaded with models and extensions, removing the worst part of self-hosting
- covers training as well as generation, which most hosted rivals skip
- the REST API exposes generations, boards, library and token spend for cost tracking
- a free daily token allowance lets you try the platform before paying
Cons
- token metering makes cost per image harder to predict than hourly GPU rental
- the platform is mid-pivot toward the Runnit board interface, so the classic session product is now one tier among several
- list prices are permanently displayed as discounted, which obscures the real renewal rate
- the Photoshop, Miro and Revit plugins are still private beta
Best for
- running ComfyUI or Automatic1111 from a laptop with no usable GPU
- training LoRAs and checkpoints through Kohya without a local setup
- small teams who want a shared preloaded model library instead of everyone downloading weights
Not for
- anyone who already owns capable local hardware
- workloads that want per-second raw GPU billing, since this is subscription plus tokens
- production inference at scale, where a dedicated inference API costs less per image
Watch out: Tokens are allocated per month against your tier and do not carry over, so an idle month buys nothing while a heavy project can drain the allowance mid-run.
