MergeRef never takes a cut. Cloud models bill you directly through your own key; the local engine bills nothing.

Connect the ComfyUI you already run

ComfyUI is not bundled with MergeRef. If it's already installed on your PC, MergeRef auto-detects it (Desktop, Stability Matrix or manual), launches it, and drives your own Stable Diffusion 1.5 / SDXL checkpoints, LoRAs, embeddings and ControlNet — zero API cost, nothing leaving your machine.

  • SD 1.5 · SDXL · local FLUX checkpoints
  • LoRA stacks, embeddings, ControlNet
  • Community node workflows, auto-installed
  • Unlimited generations, no per-image fee
About API keys

Keys are stored encrypted on your own device and are only ever sent to the provider you chose. MergeRef has no server in the middle — which is also why cloud usage never appears on your MergeRef invoice.
