Credit Costs by Model

The full per-model, per-resolution burn-rate table for video generation.

Each AI model burns credits at its own rate per second of finished video, and most models charge a different rate at each resolution. Multiply the rate by your clip's duration and you have the cost of the generation.

Every model is available on every plan. The only capability that varies by plan is 4K output, which requires the Studio plan or above.

A dash means the model does not offer that resolution, so it cannot be selected in the workflow. The Max resolution column is the highest the model can produce; rates in the columns to its left are what you pay for the same model rendered smaller.

These rates are pass-through pricing — they track what each provider charges us, plus a small margin, which is why they carry decimal places and why they change when a provider reprices. The Generate button always shows the cost of your exact configuration.

Keeping costs down

The spread between the cheapest and the most expensive configuration in the table above is more than an order of magnitude, so model and resolution choice dominates your credit spend.

  • Draft on a budget model. At each model's standard rate, Seedance 2 Mini is the cheapest in the catalogue, with Sora 2 Standard and Veo 3.1 Fast next. They are ideal for checking whether a script, character, and framing hang together before you spend real credits on the final render.
  • Drop the resolution while iterating. On models that offer more than one resolution, rendering smaller is dramatically cheaper for otherwise identical settings — the difference between 720p and 4K on the same model is the single biggest lever in the table.
  • Shorten the clip while testing. Cost scales linearly with duration, so a short test clip costs proportionally less.
  • Save the premium models for the hero cut. Veo 3.1 or Seedance 2 at 4K, a 30-second Seedance 2.5 run, and Sora 2 Pro are the most expensive configurations available. Reserve them for the version you are actually going to deliver.
