AI video generator prices: real cost per clip

A price tracker for AI video generator prices across official APIs, app plans and resellers, with the cost per clip. Every price shows its source and the date it was checked.

Illustration of the price spread of one 8-second AI video clip: a film strip above eight bars, from $0.16 for Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast to $3.20 for Veo 3.1, about 19 times apart

Last checked . Prices are re-checked every week (planned: Wednesdays). Each row shows its own check date; a row older than 14 days is out of date.

Cheapest right now

Lowest listed price per second among active and preview models, by output quality. Shut down models, secondary sources and plan tiers that are not the cheapest for their model are left out. Prices are USD and change often, so check the date on each card.

The cheapest line is not always the cheapest clip. A model that costs half as much per second but needs three tries to get a usable result is more expensive. That is what the calculator below measures.

Cost per usable clip

Pick a model and a route, set how long each clip is and how many of your generations you keep. The default keeper rate of 50% is an assumption you can edit, not a measurement. Open the full calculator to compare all routes and plan a monthly budget.

What is tracked

Some prices are not published, for example Kling and Vidu credits per video in the app. Those cells stay empty instead of carrying a guess. The rules are on the methodology page.
