How Much Does an AI Video Actually Cost? The Full Table

Short answer: a 4-second 720p clip costs 500 coins, which is EUR 2.99 at the entry coin price and about EUR 1.35 if you buy the largest package. The same four seconds rendered in 4K on the full model costs 4,400 coins, around EUR 17.51.

That nine-fold spread for identical length is the thing worth understanding before you spend anything, so the rest of this is the full table and where the money actually goes.

The per-second rates

Everything is priced per second of finished video. There is no render fee, no per-project charge, and no minimum beyond the 4-second floor.

• Turbo models (image-to-video and text-to-video): 125 coins a second at 720p, 150 at 1080p.
• Full models: 115 a second at 480p, 225 at 720p, 550 at 1080p, 1,100 at 4K.

The total is rounded to the nearest ten coins. Note the one counterintuitive row: the full model at 480p is cheaper per second than turbo at 720p, so if you want the more detailed model and can live with 480p, that is the bargain nobody looks for.

The whole table, in coins

Three common lengths across every combination:

• Turbo 720p: 4s = 500, 10s = 1,250, 30s = 3,750
• Turbo 1080p: 4s = 600, 10s = 1,500, 30s = 4,500
• Full 480p: 4s = 460, 10s = 1,150, 30s = 3,450
• Full 720p: 4s = 900, 10s = 2,250, 30s = 6,750
• Full 1080p: 4s = 2,200, 10s = 5,500, 30s = 16,500
• Full 4K: 4s = 4,400, 10s = 11,000, 30s = 33,000

The corner cases are the ones that surprise people: the cheapest clip you can make is 460 coins and the most expensive is 33,000. That is a factor of 72 inside one product, and it is entirely the two dials of resolution and length.

What that is in euros

Coins are bought in packages, and the per-coin price falls as the package grows - by about a third from smallest to largest:

• 500 coins for EUR 2.99 (0.60 cents a coin)
• 1,250 coins for EUR 3.99
• 3,250 coins for EUR 9.99
• 6,750 coins for EUR 19.99
• 14,000 coins for EUR 39.99
• 37,000 coins for EUR 99.99 (0.27 cents a coin)

So a 4-second 720p turbo clip runs from EUR 2.99 down to EUR 1.35 depending on how you bought the coins. A 30-second 720p turbo clip is EUR 14.93 at entry price and EUR 10.13 at the best rate. A 30-second 4K clip on the full model is about EUR 131 at entry and EUR 89 at the best rate - which is the number worth knowing before you pick 4K out of curiosity.

Coins never expire, and they are the same wallet the image generator draws from, so unspent coins are not stranded.

The cost nobody quotes: failed attempts

Per-second rates are only half the real price. The other half is what happens when a render fails - the vendor model rejects the content, a job times out, a result comes back unusable.

Here they are refunded in full, automatically, and that is checkable rather than a promise: across every video generation this product has ever run, the number charged and not refunded after a failure is zero. In the last week, every failure was the vendor model declining the content, and all of them were refunded.

It matters more than it sounds. A service 20% cheaper per second that charges for failures is more expensive than this one the moment your failure rate passes about one in six.

Where the money actually goes

Worth being straight about this: the per-second rate tracks what the render costs us, and the spread between models is not a margin decision. The full model at 4K is roughly nine times the vendor cost of turbo at 720p, which is why the price is roughly nine times too.

The practical consequence is that the expensive settings are expensive for a reason, and the cheap ones are not a degraded version being held back from you. Turbo at 720p is what most finished clips should be made at.

How to spend the least while finding out

Draft at 4 seconds, 720p, turbo. 500 coins. The only question worth answering early is whether the motion resembles what you had in mind, and length and resolution do not change that answer.

Only step up for something specific. Longer because the shot genuinely needs it, higher resolution because it is going somewhere the detail shows. Curiosity is a bad reason to multiply a bill by nine.

Start from an image, not from text. Image-to-video is far more predictable, so you waste fewer attempts. The difference is covered in the comparison post, and a full walk-through of making one clip is in this account.

One last thing that belongs in a costs post rather than buried in terms: clips are kept for a limited period and then deleted, so download what you want to keep. Commercial use is not a constraint - we claim no ownership of what you generate - but the storage window is real, and it is the part people are surprised by. The studio is at Fellowi Video, and the equivalent arithmetic for still images is in the image costs piece.
