Flux.1 Pro
Flux.1 Pro is Black Forest Labs' 2024 commercial image SKU, not the live flagship. Rechecked 2026-08-17: bfl.ai now leads with FLUX 3 (video, audio, image soon, action-prediction). Current stills sit on FLUX.2 ([pro] / [flex] and open-weight [dev] / [klein]) at bfl.ai/models/flux-2. bfl.ai/pricing is pay as you go for generation, plus open-weights license rows. Drop leftover surpasses Midjourney V6 and DALL-E 3 as an audited 2026 crown. DALL-E 3 is already deprecated.
Compare FLUX 3 if you wanted the live multimodal model, Flux.1 Dev if you wanted the 2024 open-weight sibling, and GPT Image 2 if you wanted OpenAI stills.
Key Features
- Previous stills SKU: Flux.1 Pro was the 2024 paid image model. Do not treat it as the current BFL homepage model.
- Live stills are FLUX.2: The FLUX.2 page we opened sells production image generation and editing, multi-reference control, and 4MP photorealism claims. Recheck that page for [pro] vs [flex] vs [dev].
- FLUX 3 is multimodal: Homepage image generation is marked soon. Video is priced from the calculator we opened at $0.17 / second in one HD/FHD example. That is FLUX 3 video, not Flux.1 Pro.
- Open weights are a license, not this Pro API: Pricing lists Builder / Platform / Professional / Enterprise / Synthetic Data rows for FLUX.2 weights. Do not invent a Flux.1 Pro seat.
Use Cases
- People who still have an August 2024 Flux.1 Pro bookmark and need the catalog corrected.
- People comparing leftover Flux.1 Pro vs FLUX.2 / FLUX 3.
- People who should stop citing DALL-E 3 as the rival to beat.
Limitation: We did not find a public Flux.1 Pro per-image dollar on the 2026 pricing calculator we opened. Do not invent one.
Pricing
bfl.ai/pricing on 2026-08-17. Flux.1 Pro is not the featured row.
| Piece | Price | Notes from those pages |
|---|---|---|
| Flux.1 Pro | Previous SKU | Not the homepage lead. Recheck the dashboard if you still have an old key. |
| FLUX 3 video (example) | $0.17 / second | Calculator example: 5s HD/FHD = $0.85. Recheck the live widget. |
| Open weights | License rows | FLUX.2 [klein] / [dev] packs. Contact or purchase on that page. |
If a leftover blog still calls Flux.1 Pro the 2026 champion over Midjourney and DALL-E 3, treat this table as the source.
Getting Started
- Open bfl.ai and FLUX.2 before you buy a Flux.1 key.
- Recheck FLUX 3 if you wanted video and audio.
- Recheck Flux.1 Dev if you wanted the 2024 open-weight sibling.
- Do not paste a Midjourney/DALL-E 3 win into a 2026 deck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Flux.1 Pro still the BFL flagship?
No. The live catalog we opened is FLUX 3 and FLUX.2.
Did it officially beat Midjourney and DALL-E 3?
That leftover claim is out. DALL-E 3 is deprecated. Recheck current benches yourself.
Where is the per-image Pro price?
Not on the public calculator we opened. Do not invent it.
Alternatives
- FLUX 3: Live multimodal BFL model.
- Flux.1 Dev: 2024 open-weight sibling.
- GPT Image 2: OpenAI's current stills model.
Tips
- Quote FLUX 3 / FLUX.2 as the live catalog.
- Call Flux.1 Pro a previous SKU.
- Recheck the pricing calculator before you treat $0.17/s as an image price.
Conclusion
Flux.1 Pro is a 2024 BFL stills SKU, not the 2026 flagship and not a Midjourney/DALL-E 3 crown. Start at bfl.ai, then decide whether FLUX 3 or FLUX.2 already covers the model you need.
