AI Video Cost Calculator
Plan prices lie a little: what matters is what one finished video costs after rejected generations burn your credits. Tell us what you make and how much of it, and we rank 27 priced tools by estimated cost per finished video — not by headline price.

Tools compared for this video type
How we calculate: cost per video = estimated monthly cost ÷ videos per month. For credit-based tools, rejected generations still burn credits, so we budget monthly cost = entry plan × retakes and total generation seconds = seconds per video × videos per month × retakes. Flat subscription and minutes plans are costed at their entry plan — typical volume at this level usually fits, but heavy use can need a higher tier.

Estimates from public entry-plan pricing, checked Nov 2026. Credit systems differ per model, resolution and clip length — a 1080p generation can burn several times the credits of a 540p one, and minutes plans count finished minutes differently. Treat this calculator as a comparison estimate to shortlist tools, and confirm the final price on the tool's own pricing page before you pay. Prices change; if you spot a figure that has moved, the tool's website is the source of truth.
