What Segmind meters on its price page
Segmind's page prices the machine rather than the output: an hourly figure for a dedicated endpoint, the same figure restated per second, and a per-run price banded by inference steps. A second of video has no price here at all. As of 2026-09-22.
| What is metered | As the page prints it |
|---|---|
| A dedicated endpoint | Nine dollars an hour, also printed as $0.00310 a second |
| One named model per run | Three dollars under 150 steps, six from 150 to 500, nine above 500 |
| Per-model prices | Reached by searching for a model rather than printed on the page |
| A second of finished video | Absent from the page |
Inclusion rule. Figures on the pricing page and what each is attached to. A price reachable only by searching the catalogue is recorded as not printed here. Order. The largest unit first, down to the unit that is missing.
1Where Segmind sits in this column
| Channel | What the page meters |
|---|---|
| fal | Seconds on most models, a whole clip on one |
| HeyGen | Credits, as one currency for everything |
| Magnific | Credits against named durations |
| Novita AI | Seconds on one family, whole clips on two |
| Replicate | Run time, with two models by the second |
| Segmind | GPU time, plus a price per run |
| Synthesia | Credits, converted into minutes |
Inclusion rule. Channels whose price page meters in something other than one second of delivered video. A channel printing money against a second is already comparable and belongs on the ledger instead. Order. Alphabetical by channel name.
2A per-second figure that prices the wrong second
There is exactly one per-second number on this page and it measures GPU occupancy, not delivered footage. Three-tenths of a cent a second looks like the cheapest rate in the register and is not a rate in the same sense as any other figure here.
The distance between the two meanings is a throughput figure nobody publishes. If a model returns six seconds of video for thirty seconds of machine time, the real cost is about one and a half cents a second of output; if it needs three minutes, it is nine. Neither number is on the page.
3Banding by inference steps prices effort rather than result
Three dollars under a hundred and fifty steps, six up to five hundred, nine beyond it. Step count is a quality dial, so this is a rare case of a published price that moves with how hard the buyer asks the model to try.
It is legible and it is not comparable. Two buyers running the same model at different step counts pay different amounts for the same output length, and no other page in this register bands a price this way.
4A catalogue behind a search box is a price that is not published
The page states that per-model prices are found by searching for a model. That may be convenient for a platform with thousands of entries and it means the figure a buyer needs is not on the page that claims to carry the prices.
This register records what a public page states, so the channel sits outside the ledger despite having prices behind that box. Moving it in would take one published table of video models and their rates, which is a smaller change than it sounds.
- What Segmind publishes instead of a rateGPU time by the hour and by the second, plus a per-run price for one model, and no figure per second of video
- The only per-second figure on the page$9.00 an hour, printed also as $0.00310 a second, for a dedicated H100 endpointand it prices GPU time
- A per-run price banded by inference steps$3 under 150 steps, $6 from 150 to 500 steps and $9 above 500 steps, stated for Flux-Pro
- Where the video model prices sitPer-model prices are reached by searching for a model rather than printed on the page
