RenderDrama’s per-second AI video ledger
An openly readable reference comparing published AI video-generation costs across channels, models, resolutions, and billing systems.
Field notes
RenderDrama organizes vendor pricing into a comparable ledger rather than treating every plan as directly equivalent. Its inclusion rule admits a per-second rate or a credit rate with a credit price, while monthly-only allowances stay out of the calculation. The page also tracks variables that can dominate a production budget: clip length, usable-take rate, and whether failed generations are billed. Individual figures are dated and linked back to vendor pages.
