The open-source escape hatch: unlimited retries for the price of a GPU.

Free to self-host under an open license; the real cost is GPU time (roughly $0.50 to $1.00/hour for a rented 24GB+ card). Hosted API versions exist at budget rates.

Best price-to-quality ratio for character motion, with optional native audio.

fal.ai rate of $0.07/sec with audio off; enabling native audio doubles it to $0.14/sec ($0.70 per 5s clip).

Best prompt adherence and physics at the top of the market, with 4K output.

Gemini API standard tier, $0.40/sec at 1080p with audio. 4K and multi-reference inputs lock the clip to 8 seconds.

Longest coherent single takes of any closed model, up to 25 seconds.

API rate of $0.30/sec at 720p up to $0.50/sec at 1024p+. 25-second clips require the Pro app plan's storyboard mode.

Multi-shot generation inside one clip, unusual at this price point.

Volcano Engine / BytePlus API, about $0.07/sec at 1080p ($0.03/sec at 720p). Newer Seedance versions price higher.

Standout stylized and anime motion; strong value on dynamic action.

MiniMax API bills per clip: $0.49 for a 6s 1080p clip (normalized here to 5s). 10-second clips are 768p only.

Strong scene logic and dialogue audio; the app ecosystem is where it shines.

API rate of $0.10/sec at 720p. 15-second clips are an in-app limit; the API caps single generations at 12 seconds. OpenAI has announced an API sunset for late September 2026, so treat API access as transitional.

Veo quality with audio at a price you can afford to iterate on.

Gemini API fast tier, $0.12/sec at 1080p with audio. Same model family, lower fidelity, roughly a third of the standard price.

Only model shipping true HDR output, with a reasoning pass on the prompt.

Luma API, about $0.24/sec for 1080p SDR. HDR output roughly doubles the price; draft mode is far cheaper for look development.

Fast, playful iteration and effects templates aimed at social formats.

Credit-based estimate: 40 credits per 5s 1080p clip on the $28/mo, 700-credit Standard plan ($0.04/credit). 480p drafts cost about a third of that.

Cheapest way into the Runway ecosystem for previz and animatics.

Runway developer API, $0.05/sec (5 credits/sec in-app). The workhorse tier for previz volume.

Precise motion control and the most mature editing toolchain around the model.

Runway developer API, $0.12/sec (12 credits/sec in-app). Output is 720p native; upscaling is a separate pass.
