Billing
At Hugging Face, we build a collaboration platform for the ML community (i.e., the Hub) and monetize by providing simple access to compute for AI.
Any feedback or support request related to billing is welcome at [email protected]
Cloud providers partnerships
We partner with cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to make it easy for customers to use Hugging Face directly in their cloud of choice. These solutions and usage are billed directly by the cloud provider. Ultimately, we want people to have great options for using Hugging Face wherever they build ML-powered products.
Compute Services on the Hub
We also directly provide compute services with Spaces, Inference Endpoints and the Serverless Inference API.
While most of our compute services have a comprehensive free tier, users and organizations can pay to access more powerful hardware accelerators.
The billing for our compute services is usage-based, meaning you only pay for what you use. You can monitor your usage at any time from your billing dashboard, located in your user’s or organization’s settings menu.
Available payment methods
Hugging Face uses Stripe to securely process your payment information.
The only payment method supported for Hugging Face compute services is credit cards. You can add a credit card to your account from your billing settings.
You also have the option to link your Hugging Face organization to your AWS account via AWS Marketplace. Hugging Face compute service usage will then be included in your AWS bill. Read more in our blog post.
Billing thresholds & Invoicing
When using credit cards as a payment method, you’ll be billed for the Hugging Face compute usage each time the accrued usage goes above a billing threshold for your user or organization.
On the 1st of every month, Hugging Face edits an invoice for usage accrued during the prior month. Any usage that has yet to be charged will be charged at that time.
For example, if your billing threshold is set at $100.00, and you incur $254.00 of usage during a given month, your credit card will be charged a total of three times during the month:
- Once for usage between $0 and $100: $100
- Once for usage between $100 and $200: $100
- Once at the end of the month for the remaining $54: $54
Note: this will be detailed in your monthly invoice.
You can view invoices and receipts for the last 3 months in your billing dashboard.
Enterprise Hub subscriptions
We offer advanced security and compliance features for organizations through our Enterprise Hub subscription, including Single Sign-On, Advanced Access Control for repositories, control over your data location, and more.
The Enterprise Hub is billed like a typical subscription. It renews automatically, but you can choose to cancel it at any time in the organization’s billing settings.
You can pay for the Enterprise Hub subscription with a credit card or your AWS account.
Upon renewal, the number of seats in your Enterprise Hub subscription will be updated to match the number of members of your organization.
PRO subscription
The PRO subscription unlocks additional features for users, including:
- Higher free tier for the Serverless Inference API and when consuming ZeroGPU Spaces
- Ability to create ZeroGPU Spaces and use Dev Mode
- Ability to write Social Posts and Community Blogs
- Leverage the Dataset Viewer on private datasets

Similarly to the Enterprise Hub subscription, PRO subscriptions are billed like a typical subscription. The subscription renews automatically for you. You can choose to cancel the subscription at anytime in your billing settings: https://huggingface.co./settings/billing
You can only pay for the PRO subscription with a credit card. The subscription is billed separately from any pay-as-you-go compute usage.
Note: PRO benefits are also included in the Enterprise Hub subscription.
