Stop guessing what AI video actually costs.

I compiled $/second rates across almost every major model and provider — sorted cheapest first, with notes on promos and resolution.

@_adishj I would like to experiment a lot and see what all is possible through this general video agent

[Newsman @shashankjourno]

@oneeyekeh Hey. I normally use H3 and I'm pretty happy with it, but I would love to try out your model. If possible, do send me some credits

If you want the raw comparison or have a model I missed, reply or DM. I’ll keep updating the sheets as rates move.

I spent time comparing AI video model prices across Kie, Fal, Runway, official APIs, RunPod, Pruna, Infer, and Reactor.
The gaps are bigger than most people assume.

Fal Seedance is token-priced, not a clean per-second rate
Sorted cheap-to-dear in the sheets. Useful if you’re testing models before committing volume.

[Newsman @shashankjourno]

Caveats that matter:
• Reactor bills while the GPU session is open, including idle time
• Some Pruna H3 rates are launch promos
• Cheaper Inference’s full catalog is login-walled

[Newsman @shashankjourno]

Few observations (appr, 9–10 Oct rates):
• Grok Imagine 480p on Kie: ~₹1.16/s
• Veo 3.1 Fast 720p on Kie: ~₹3.63/s vs ~₹9.67/s official
• Pruna H3 (MiniMax) Cost 480p: ~₹0.97/s (promo till 13 Oct)
• Reactor Helios: ~₹0.16/s — but that’s session time, not a finished clip
