What a second of AI video costs, channel by channel

What two sellers charge for LTX-2.5

Two channels here publish a figure against LTX-2.5, and the pair is unusually instructive. The maker gives a band of nine to thirty-nine cents a second without saying what moves it; the reseller gives nine and twelve cents against two named variants. As of 2026-09-22.

Inclusion rule. Channels in this register publishing a figure against LTX-2.5. Two is below the usual threshold for a page here; this family earns one because the two figures disagree in shape rather than in size. Order. The maker first, then the reseller.

1What the seconds buy

Price aside, what goes into the seconds behind “LTX-2.5 across sellers” is described in SceneMixer's guides:

Measured across every job that finished successfully on scenemixer.com in the thirty days to 20 September 2026: analysis of a whole book runs about 2 minutes 49 seconds at the median, one episode's storyboard 1 minute 54 seconds, one video segment 3 minutes 20 seconds, and compositing an episode 3 minutes 52 seconds.

3A resale can publish structure the source withholds

The maker's band spans more than four times and attributes the spread to settings it does not list. The reseller prints two variants at nine and twelve cents, which lands inside the bottom third of that band and attaches each figure to something nameable.

That inverts the usual assumption that the maker's page is the authoritative one. For this family the reseller's table is more usable, and the maker's band is the document that leaves a buyer guessing which end applies.

4What the band's upper end probably is

If the reseller's Fast and Pro variants at nine and twelve cents correspond to the lower part of the maker's range, the remaining spread up to thirty-nine cents belongs to settings neither page names: resolution, duration, or something else. This register will not fill that in.

The honest position is that a band is one figure and a range is not a rate. The ledger carries the band as published and the two variant figures as published, and does not reconcile them, because reconciling them would mean inventing the mapping.

5Why two sellers is enough for a page here

Everywhere else in this layer a family earns an entry once at least three channels price it, because the point is the spread. This one earns it on a different basis: the two figures are not really the same kind of statement.

A reader comparing a band against a grid is the situation this whole register exists to make visible. Leaving the family out because only two sellers price it would drop the clearest example of it.

Every figure is read from the page linked on that channel's own entry, checked 2026-09-22. What counts as a published rate is on the method page; the channels in full are on the ledger. Other families: Wan, Kling. All of them: one model, several sellers.
