Video generation models
Video is the most expensive and fastest-moving category, and it bills per second of output rather than per clip. Maximum clip length, resolution, and whether synchronized audio is included vary enough that the per-second rate alone rarely decides it.

Per-second pricing adds up fast
A single 30-second spot can cost more than a month of a mid-tier LLM. Budget for iteration: usable output usually takes several generations, so multiply the sticker price by your expected retry count.
Audio is the new differentiator
Generating synchronized dialogue and sound effects alongside the picture removes an entire post-production step. Check whether audio is bundled or billed separately.
Expect version churn
Video models are re-versioned faster than any other category, and pricing frequently changes with them. Treat any figure here as a starting point and confirm before committing to a production budget.
