Pricing FAQ
Short answers about live quotes, credits, refunds and engine availability.
How is AI video pricing calculated?
AI video pricing depends on the engine, duration, resolution, audio setting and workflow. The comparison table shows preset total prices for common scenarios, and the app shows the exact live quote before generation.
Which AI video engine is cheapest?
The cheapest engine depends on the scenario. A 5s 720p draft, an 8s 1080p premium clip, a 10s 1080p video and 4K output can all have different winners. The table highlights current-generation options first and lists older budget routes separately when available.
Which engine is cheapest for 10s 1080p video?
Check the 10s 1080p column in the video pricing table. Engines that do not support exact 10s 1080p are marked clearly instead of being forced into a fake comparison.
Why is there an 8s 1080p column?
Some major engines, including Veo routes, are limited to shorter durations such as 4s, 6s or 8s. The 8s column makes those engines comparable without pretending they support 10s.
Why is 4K shown separately?
Some routes are built for 4K output and should not be compared as if they were standard 1080p engines. The 4K column shows native or dedicated 4K pricing when available.
Can I see the exact price before generating?
Yes. Open the app for live pricing before you generate. You can preview the exact price as a guest before launching a render.
Do failed generations cost credits?
No. Failed generations are refunded automatically. Credits are charged only when a generation completes successfully.
Do I need a subscription?
No. MaxVideoAI uses pay-as-you-go credits. You can compare prices, choose the right engine per job and generate without a required subscription.
Why are some cheaper engines not highlighted first?
Some previous-generation routes may be cheaper for simple tests, but MaxVideoAI highlights current-generation engines first because they are usually better choices for new projects. Older budget routes are still listed separately when available.
Are image, audio and tools priced the same as video?
No. Video, image, audio and tools use different pricing rules. Image generation is usually priced per image, audio by duration or mode, and tools by output type or resolution.
Why does the table show total prices instead of cost per second?
Most users compare the full cost of a render, not raw per-second rates. MaxVideoAI shows preset total prices for common scenarios such as 8s 1080p, 10s 1080p and 4K output. Per-second or provider-level rates can vary by engine, duration, resolution and rounding, and the app shows the exact live quote before generation.
How often do prices change?
Prices may change when providers update rates or when MaxVideoAI adds new engines. The pricing page shows current preset comparisons, while the app always shows the live quote before generation.
