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.

Why there is no winner
Ranking withheld: 1 of 3 required providers have fresh, matching evidence.
The fal observation does not state an audio setting, so it is not treated as the same no-audio 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.
