AI video pricing looks simple until you try to compare it. One provider charges per second, another per clip, a third in credits that change value with the plan. Resolution and audio can double the price of the same model, and the same model is often sold at different prices by the maker and by a reseller. These guides explain each of those traps with numbers that come from the tracker, so the figures in the text always match the price table.

Start with the pricing guides for the model family you are considering. Then read the guide on credits, which explains how a plan's credits turn into seconds of video, and the guide on cost per usable clip, which explains why the cheapest line on a price list is not always the cheapest clip you keep. If you build software, the API guide compares first-party APIs with resellers. If you only need a quick answer, the calculator gives a cost for your exact clip length and keeper rate.

Every guide follows the same rules: a direct answer first, sourced numbers with a check date, no star ratings and no invented testing. The pages compile published prices, limits and documented facts. The rules for derived prices, promos and unknown values are on the methodology page.
