First-party FLUX when you want BFL terms/quality without a reseller markup. Fal remains Depot media-gen default for multi-model catalogs. Strengths: Official FLUX.2 / FLUX 3 API (not only via Fal/Replicate resellers); Transparent credit = $0.01 card including video; EU lab with production FLUX weights.
Lock-in risk: higher = more lock-in (worse). Overall already inverts this dimension.
