AI video API pricing ranking by exact configuration
APIDir publishes a winner only when at least three fresh provider offers pass the same reviewed model, meter, mode, resolution, duration, and audio scope.
Kling 3 API pricing without audio
Kling 3 standard, no-audio price
- Reviewed comparison scope
- Kling 3 · standard · text to video · source-default resolution · no audio · global route · USD per video second
- Publication gate
- At least 3 unique providers with accepted, fresh, reviewed evidence
Why there is no winner
Ranking withheld: 0 of 3 required providers have fresh, matching evidence.
fal and WaveSpeedAI now state the same price for this scope, but two routes are still below the three-provider publication gate.
Veo 3.1 Fast 720p API pricing without audio
Veo 3.1 Fast 720p, no-audio price
- Reviewed comparison scope
- Veo 3.1 Fast · text to video · 720p · no audio · global route · USD per generated video second
- Publication gate
- At least 3 unique providers with accepted, fresh, reviewed evidence
Why there is no winner
Ranking withheld: 0 of 3 required providers have fresh, matching evidence.
The Kie.ai offer is billed per fixed eight-second request with audio, so it is excluded. Google Vertex AI and fal remain below the three-provider publication gate.
Seedance 2 Fast 720p API pricing with audio
Seedance 2 Fast 720p, five-second audio request
- Reviewed comparison scope
- Seedance 2 · fast · text to video · 720p · 5 seconds · audio · no reference video · global route · USD per request
- Publication gate
- At least 3 unique providers with accepted, fresh, reviewed evidence
Why there is no winner
Ranking withheld: 0 of 3 required providers have fresh, matching evidence.
Per-second offers and offers without a stated duration or audio setting are not converted into this fixed-request configuration. Three independent provider routes are required before publication.
Public methodology
How an offer enters the ranking
- The observation passed APIDir's accepted evidence and publication-permission gates and retains an official first-party source.
- Its offer identity, provider channel, route, and tier are explicitly included after configuration review.
- Its freshness label is fresh and its fresh-until time has not passed.
- The model, billing unit, region, and every reviewed comparison field match the group definition.
- At least three unique providers qualify; otherwise APIDir publishes no order, cheapest claim, or spread.
- Prices sort low to high. Equal prices share a rank; provider name, then offer ID, controls only stable display order.
Questions developers ask
When does APIDir publish a cheapest provider?
Only when at least three unique providers have accepted, publication-permitted, fresh observations for the same model and billing meter, with every route and material configuration field explicitly reviewed.
What happens to stale or quarantined prices?
They are excluded from ranking order. Historical evidence may remain auditable elsewhere, but it cannot support a current winner or savings claim.
Does the first row mean the provider is best overall?
No. The order covers the displayed price meter only and does not score quality, speed, uptime, limits, support, legal terms, or total production cost.
