What you keep

Every capability you relied on.Zero migration friction.

Your existing ComfyUI workflows run on Runflow exactly as they did on ComfyDeploy. Same deploy experience, same environment control, same API surface.

⚡

Deploy in one-click

Deploy your workflow directly from ComfyUI in one-click. API endpoint live instantly — no Docker, no DevOps.

🧩

Any custom node, any model

FLUX, SDXL, ControlNet, IPAdapter, LoRAs. Full environment support — if it ran in ComfyDeploy, it runs here.

📈

Auto-scaling GPU

Scales to zero when idle, bursts on demand. RTX 4090 · A100 · L40S · H100 — billed by the second. Up to 29% cheaper than ComfyDeploy.

📋

Version history

Full workflow history, one-click rollback to any previous version. Iterate with confidence.

🔁

Dev → Staging → Prod

Full environment control. Test before you promote. No production surprises.

🔌

Clean REST API

Typed inputs matching your workflow parameters, auto-generated API docs, call from any language.

🌍

Parallel generation

Hundreds of parallel jobs on demand. No queues, no waiting — your team generates simultaneously.

🤝

Team collaboration

Share workflows, manage environments, and give your whole team access — no ComfyUI knowledge required.

What you gain

The three things ComfyDeploynever built.

ComfyDeploy shipped the deployment layer. Runflow ships the production layer on top — the capabilities that turn a deployed workflow into a reliable product.

🛡

Sentinel quality evaluation

Every output is scored across multiple quality dimensions before delivery. Bad outputs trigger auto-retry automatically. Your users only ever see passing results. Built into every Solution API. Add it as a node in any custom Runflow workflow.

Not available on ComfyDeploy

↩️

Auto-retries

If a generation fails technically or scores below your Sentinel threshold, Runflow automatically re-queues it. Set max retries and fallback behavior from the dashboard — zero code required. Failed outputs no longer ship silently.

Not available on ComfyDeploy

🔄

Loops

Run your workflow in a controlled loop — iterating until the output passes your quality threshold. Useful for batch processing, iterative refinement, and generating multiple variants. Not possible in ComfyUI or on ComfyDeploy.

17 pre-built Solution APIs.Ready to call today.

Not every team needs custom workflows. Background removal, AI headshots, virtual try-on, cloth transfer, and more. Each Solution API includes quality evaluation, auto-retry, and fixed per-image pricing.

Sentinel in action

Bad outputs never reach your users.Fully automated.

Other platforms tell you when a generation fails technically. Sentinel tells you when it fails quality — fully automated. Allowing you to fix it before your user sees it.

How to migrate

Three steps. Your workflowsare live on Runflow today.

Your ComfyUI workflows don't change. The deploy experience is identical. You're adding a production layer, not relearning a tool.

01

Create your Runflow account

02

Deploy your workflow in one-click

From within ComfyUI, deploy your workflow directly to Runflow in one-click. We parse your node graph, resolve all dependencies, and create your API endpoint. Same process you already know.

03

Enable Sentinel, retries, and loops

Turn on the production layer from the Runflow dashboard. Quality evaluation, auto-retry thresholds, and loop configuration — all no-code, all optional, all available from day one.

Runflow vs ComfyDeploy

Everything you had.Plus what was always missing.

Runflow is the only platform that allows you to create, deploy, and optimize your AI workflows at scale.

ComfyDeploy

Deploy and call API

The deployment layer — now open-sourcing

What it included

✓Deploy in one-click — deploy your workflow, get a live API endpoint instantly.

✓Custom nodes and models — full environment support.

✓Auto-scaling GPU — scales to zero, bursts on demand.

✓Version history — workflow versioning and rollback.

What was missing

✕No quality evaluation — bad outputs reached users silently.

✕No auto-retries — failed generations shipped. Your app handled recovery.

✕No loops — iterative generation wasn't possible on the platform.

✕Machine-tied — configurations are edited per-instance inside the cloud editor. 100 machines means 100 manual fixes.

✕No automated dependency resolution — missing models must be manually tracked down, downloaded, and re-uploaded per machine. Every new deployment is a manual debugging session.

✕Open-sourcing — commercial future uncertain.

Runflow

Deploy, optimize, scale

Everything above — plus the production quality layer

Same experience as ComfyDeploy

✓Deploy in one-click — same experience, deploy your workflow from ComfyUI in one-click.

✓Custom nodes and models — any workflow that ran on ComfyDeploy runs here.

✓Up to 22% cheaper — $5.42/hr on A100, $6.56/hr on H100. Billed by the second.

✓Version history — full versioning and one-click rollback.

Only on Runflow

✓Sentinel quality evaluation — every output scored before delivery. Auto-retry on fail.

✓Auto-retries — failed or below-threshold outputs never ship to users.

✓Loops — iterative generation built into the platform. No code.

✓Fleet-managed scaling — deploy once, configuration propagates. Version-controlled and rollback-ready at any scale — no per-machine manual fixes.

✓Automated dependency resolutionComing Soon — Runflow resolves model dependencies on deploy. No manual tracking, no per-machine re-upload.

✓Commercial roadmap — actively built, funded, and committed to this space long-term.

Pricing

Significantly cheaper.More GPUs. Billed by the second.

You pay for actual GPU runtime — nothing when idle. Scale to zero, burst on demand. Direct comparison against ComfyDeploy's published rates.

Case Study

From 40% to 87% gross margin in 12 months

BetterPic processes hundreds of thousands of AI inference jobs monthly — portraits, background removal, segmentation, and more. Runflow's orchestration layer handles GPU routing, automatic failover, and retry across datacenters, so their team ships product instead of debugging infrastructure. This is the platform we're now opening to everyone.
