How to choose
Compare FLUX 3 and FLUX 3 Max by key specs, pricing, controls, and a scorecard across 10 criteria.
Which FLUX 3 should you choose?
Choose FLUX 3 Max for a new text-to-video or image-to-video project with optional generated audio and clips from 5 to 20 seconds. It is the fal post-trained variant of the Black Forest Labs model. Keep standard FLUX 3 when you need the video extension workflow offered on its page. Max supports 720p output and 1080p through upscaling. Compare identical durations and settings in the price cards below; the quote shown before generation is the amount you approve. Published fal speed figures measure model inference, not your full waiting time on MaxVideoAI. Standard FLUX 3 and Draft also support 1–10 timed keyframes. FAST Edit belongs only to standard FLUX 3 at 720p and inherits source timing, framing and audio. Enhance needs your own eligible native Draft and a qualified paired cache; a public MP4 or Draft Extend result cannot supply it. Enhance has a separate quote and does not transfer to Max.
