What a second of AI video costs, channel by channel

Which channels attach a number to parallel generation

How fast a production can go is invisible in almost every rate here. Four channels say anything about it: one prices extra capacity by the month, one gives a figure per package, one gives a figure for every membership tier, and one describes a ratio without a base. As of 2026-10-13.

Four answers, ranked by how usable they areOne channel prices extra concurrent sessions by the month, which makes throughput a budget item. One gives a figure for every membership tier. One gives a figure per developer package and an adjective on its consumer product. One describes a ratio with no base.Most usable at the topA figure and a priceFive sessions free, each further one at about $2,080 a month.The only published price for throughput.A figure per tierThree at once free, then five, eight, ten, fifteen and twenty onthe paid tiers.A figure per packageTwenty concurrency, on the page that also carries validity androllover terms.A ratio with no baseOne tier described as twice the concurrency of the tier below,with neither quantified.Batch work is where a parallel limit decides a delivery date

Inclusion rule. Channels whose public pages address how many generations may run at the same time. Silence is the norm across the register and is not listed channel by channel. Order. Most quantified first.

1Throughput is where a seller's spare capacity lives

Publishing a concurrency figure converts a flexible operational choice into something buyers will hold a seller to, which is why almost nobody does it. The result is that a rate reachable one job at a time and the same rate reachable twenty at a time look identical in a price table.

For batch work that difference is the whole schedule. A set of character sheets, a set of scene plates and every segment of an episode are all naturally parallel, and the limit decides the wall-clock time of a delivery rather than its cost.

2One channel prices it, which makes the trade explicit

Five concurrent sessions free and each further one at about two thousand and eighty dollars a month is the only published price for throughput here. Against a generation rate of a few cents a second, that figure dwarfs the footage cost for all but continuous industrial use.

Read with the same page's off-peak halving, it becomes a single choice: pay for concurrency at full rate, or queue overnight at half. Almost nowhere else in the register is that trade published on one page.

3The same vendor can answer twice, differently

One vendor lists twenty concurrency against its developer packages and describes unlimited concurrent tasks on its consumer membership. Those are not contradictory; they bound different things. Twenty parallel workers is a capacity, and unlimited submission into a finite pool is a queue promise.

A production that needs a number has one available, on the page that also carries package validity and rollover terms. A production reading the consumer page has been told it will not wait behind free users and nothing more.

Each figure is read from the vendor page linked in the ledger, checked 2026-10-13. How a figure qualifies is on method; what a rate leaves out is on limits and unspent credits and parallel generations. Nearby: Length in minutes, Credits with no price, Who built the model.
