How a rate gets into this ledger
A channel appears when it publishes a per-second rate, or a credit rate together with a credit price so the conversion is arithmetic. Monthly allowances are not converted. Every figure carries the source it came from and the day it was taken. As of 2026-09-12.
| Form the price takes | Accepted | What has to be public for it to count |
|---|---|---|
| Credit rate with a credit price | Yes | Both halves, on pages anyone can read |
| Credit rate with no credit price | No | The credit price is missing, so there is no rate |
| Currency per second | Yes | The figure and the resolution it belongs to |
| Monthly allowance only | No | A quota is not a rate unless the unit is stated |
| Price behind a sign-in | No | Nothing readable in public to record |
Inclusion rule. The five forms a price takes across the channels looked at for this ledger. A form nobody uses is not listed, and no form is accepted on the strength of a screenshot. Order. Accepted forms first, then refused; alphabetical within each.
1What counts as a published rate
A rate per second of output, stated by the vendor on a page anyone can open, is the first case and the simplest. The second case is a rate in credits published next to the price of a credit: the multiplication is arithmetic and introduces nothing. Both go in.
A monthly plan with an allowance of credits does not go in. Turning it into a rate requires assuming how much of the allowance gets used, and the resulting figure describes the buyer rather than the product. A vendor selling only that way is absent from the ledger, which is a statement about what is published and not about the vendor.
2The one conversion this site makes
Where a vendor publishes a credit rate and a range of credit prices, the dollar figure uses the lowest credit price in that range and is written as an approximation. The lowest price is the one reached by buying the largest pack or an annual plan. Any other choice would need its own justification, and the low end has the advantage of being a figure the vendor itself uses when it converts.
Ranges published by a vendor stay ranges. A band of $0.09 to $0.39 is recorded as that band, not as a midpoint, because a midpoint is a number nobody is charged and it flatters a wide band against a narrow one.
3What is deliberately not in the price
Three things move the real cost of a finished minute and none of them are in any published rate. The first is the share of generations that are usable, which no channel publishes. The second is the maximum clip length, which decides how many generations a beat takes and which only two channels publish beside their rates. The third is whether failed or refused generations are billed, which is recorded as not published almost everywhere.
Those are kept out of the headline figure and given their own columns or pages. Folding them in would produce a single number that looks more useful and is less checkable.
4Dates, and what is out of scope
Prices carry two stamps: the day a figure first entered this ledger and the day it was last checked against the seller. A check that confirms the same number still advances the second stamp, because a rate that has held for a month and a rate nobody has looked at for a month print identically otherwise.
Where several channels resell one model family under their own labels, each figure is recorded against the channel whose page prints it, under the label that page uses. Several channels here price the same family and the figures differ; that is several sellers' prices rather than one price with errors in it. What is refused is pairing a rate read under one seller's label with a model named under another's, which is how a ledger ends up comparing two things it has given one name.
5The production behind the price
Price aside, what goes into the seconds behind “Method” is described in SceneMixer's guides:
Typically 60–120 seconds, always 9:16 vertical, ending on a hook. SceneMixer's episode outlines are generated with that pacing, and setting a project to 9:16 makes every segment vertical (the default is 16:9).

Sixty to a hundred and twenty seconds is the working range for short drama, and that is what the outline paces for. A 90-second episode is typically seven segments of about fourteen seconds stacked together.
