Why this page exists

“100 videos for $9” rarely means the video you want.

Pricing pages count their cheapest, oldest model at the lowest resolution. Switch to the model you came for and the number collapses. So we made the same clip on every platform, with the newest models, and priced what you really get.

How we tested

We bought a plan on each platform and made the same clip, with the same prompt and settings, on every one. The credits charged come from those runs. Plan prices come from each pricing page on the day we tested. Unlimited offers are listed in notes but not priced per clip, because they slow down at busy times and expire. Our methodology.
