Choose Fireworks AI for a very large catalog, for speed work on dedicated GPUs, and for fine-tuning. Choose Munito AI when the request has to run in a named EU region today, when you want the same prices with a published DPA, or when the platform has to run inside your own perimeter.
Prices and models checked on 2026-11-07. Prices change, so check them at the source.
At a glance
| Munito AI | Fireworks AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | EU, US or global | Not stated; US-only costs 50% more |
| EU region | Yes, the api.eu host | Not offered as a serverless region |
| Prompts kept | No | "Zero data retention by default" |
| API formats | OpenAI and Anthropic | OpenAI |
| OCR | PDFs and images, per page | Through vision models, per token |
| Decision models | Yes | No |
| Your own cloud | Yes, today | Private preview, Enterprise only |
| On-premises | Yes, today | Private preview, Enterprise only |
| Fine-tuning | No | Yes |
Fireworks states zero data retention by default, which answers half the question. The other half is location, and the serverless price page names no region. A region-restricted deployment costs 1.5x, and US-only serverless carries a 50% premium on the models that offer it, so geography is a paid option rather than a default.
Prices
Standard tier, per million tokens, input / output, both in USD. Munito AI in the EU.
| Model | Munito AI, EU | Fireworks AI |
|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 | $0.30 / $1.20 | $0.30 / $1.20 |
| GLM-5.3-Flash | $0.15 / $0.50 | $0.15 / $0.50 |
| Qwen3.8-27B | $0.20 / $2.70 | Not listed |
| DeepSeek-V4-Flash | $0.11 / $0.28 | Not listed |
| Gemma 4 12B | $0.11 / $0.33 | Not listed |
The two shared models cost the same to the cent. An EU region is not a premium here, and it is not a 1.5x line item either.
How to switch
Both speak the OpenAI API:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.eu.munito.ai/inference/v1",
api_key="munitoai_...",
)
Each response names its region in the munito-region header, so a single call proves where the work ran.
Where Fireworks AI is stronger
- A much larger catalog, including frontier open models and many families we do not carry.
- Fine-tuning, which we do not offer. If you need a tuned model served, that decides it.
- Dedicated GPUs billed per second, with no charge for start-up and a scale to zero after an idle hour.
- Speed engineering, which is the company's reputation and shows on latency-sensitive workloads.
- Reserved capacity at lower hourly rates on a yearly term.
Where Munito AI is stronger
- A named EU region at the standard price, not a 1.5x region restriction and not a premium.
- Your own cloud or on-premises, available now. Fireworks Sovereign is in private preview for Enterprise; ours is a deployment you can ask for today. See Enterprise.
- The Anthropic Messages API beside the OpenAI Chat Completions and Responses APIs. See Compatibility.
- A DPA that applies with no signature, at legal.munito.ai/dpa, and a published sub-processor list by region.
- OCR billed per page at $0.0044, not per token through a vision model.
- Decision models: pplx-decider-v1.2 and Cygnet answer yes or no, choice and score questions through the Decisions API.
What a security review will ask
The retention answer is good on both sides. The location answer is where they part: ask Fireworks to confirm in the contract which region serves your traffic and what the region restriction costs at your volume, and compare that with a default EU host at the list price.
Then ask both for the DPA, the sub-processor list and the exit terms. Ours are linked above, and the security review guide collects the rest. Our SOC 2 audit and ISO 27001 certification work are in progress.
