API price guide
AI video API pricing
The same clip priced on every API that sells it, from the model maker's own API to the resellers. Each price links to the provider's page and shows the day we checked it.

"-" means the provider doesn't sell that model or option, or publishes no price for it. Per-second prices are multiplied to the clip length. The model maker's API is BytePlus ModelArk for Seedance, Kling's own API for Kling and Google's Gemini API for Nano Banana. There is no Veo cell there: Google'sdeprecations pagelists the Veo 3.1 preview models on the Gemini API as shut down on October 22, 2026. Notes on each price (list prices, temporary discounts, prices paid in a provider's credits) are on the model price pages linked in each row.
How to read the table
Each row is one clip you would actually make: a model, a length and a resolution. A per-second price is multiplied to that length; a per-clip price (BytePlus's own examples) is shown as it is. Audio, a video input and 4K change the price on most models, so the row says which option it shows.
Higgsfield also sells these models on its website, paid in plan credits rather than per clip. That is a different kind of price, so it has its own page: Higgsfield pricing compared.
Every option, per model
The price pages list every resolution and option on every provider:
Questions
- What is the cheapest AI video API?
- It depends on the model. For Seedance 2.5, Sume and Replicate match ByteDance's own price, $1.156 for a 5 s 720p clip. kie.ai is cheapest for Kling 3.0 and 4.0 in our table, and PiAPI for Veo 3.1. Check the row for the model you need: no provider is cheapest for everything.
- Why does the same model cost different amounts?
- Providers buy from the model maker and add their own margin, sell some models at cost to win users, or run limited-time discounts. Some bill per second, some per token, and some per clip, which also changes what you pay for odd lengths.
- How often are these prices updated?
- Prices that come from an official pricing API (Sume's) are re-read every week, and the date next to each changes when they are. Prices from providers without a pricing API are checked by hand and keep the date we last read them; we do not scrape their pages.
- Does Glidezo get paid by these providers?
- No. We have no affiliate links on this page. Glidezo's own online skills run through Sume, so we have a reason to watch its prices, and we list it like every other provider.
