Rates are normalized cost-per-second; per-clip billing schemes assume your clip length divides evenly into the provider's billing increments. Verify final pricing on the provider's page before committing volume.

How the number is built · live dataset
What the calculator does
It normalizes four incompatible billing schemes to one comparable number, then ranks every tracked provider at your exact clip length and volume — cheapest first, never by payout.
What it compares
- Per-clip, per-token and credit prices are all converted to USD per second so schemes are directly comparable — see the methodology for the formulas.
- Every option is re-ranked instantly at your numbers; identical rates that differ only by mode (text→video / image→video) are merged into one row.
- Rankings compare like-for-like: resolution, tier and audio are labeled and never silently mixed.
- verified rates were checked on the provider's own page; reported rates are from a credible secondary source.
