If you are here, this is probably why
Stability's consumer products have been discontinued or reduced
You want production image models behind one API key without running your own inference
You want 28 image models from one API, not just one provider
You need image generation alongside video, voice, and music
The short version
Stability is a model provider, not a generation platform.
FairStack wraps many providers into one platform with one API.
28 image models -- FLUX.2 at $0.03/image, GPT Image 2 at $0.072/image, Ideogram V3 at $0.021/image, and more.
Plus 49 video + 8 voice + 18 music models.

When Stability AI may still be the better choice
We believe in honesty. Here is where they have an edge.
FairStack does not carry Stable Diffusion. If you specifically want SD 3.5 Large, SDXL or SD3 Medium, buy them from Stability or run them yourself
If you need to self-host models for privacy or compliance — Stability AI's open-source models can run on your own infrastructure
If you need to fine-tune Stable Diffusion with your own data — FairStack does not offer fine-tuning
