A monthly plan price buys access, not a quantity
A plan price is the price of access for a month. Nearly every channel here publishes one, and on almost none of them does it convert into a price per second, because what the month buys is stated in credits, in a count of videos, or in nothing at all. As of 2026-09-12.
| Channel | What the monthly figure is attached to | Can a rate be reached from it |
|---|---|---|
| Luma | Plans carrying a monthly credit allowance | No; the price of a credit is missing |
| Pika | Plans carrying a monthly credit allowance | No; credits attach to features, not seconds |
| Morph Studio | Plans monthly and annual, usage described in videos | No; no duration is attached to the count |
| invideo AI | Plans sold per seat | No; the credit quantities are printed as approximate |
| CapCut | A paid tier whose figure appears inside the app | No; nothing is readable without signing in |
| Dreamina | An annual plan the per-second figure sits on | Yes; the rate is printed beside the plan |
| Runway | Plans whose credits reset, separate from API credits | Not from the plan; the developer page carries the rate |
| Kling AI | A subscription listing queue and concurrency benefits | Not from the plan; the developer page carries the rate |
Inclusion rule. Channels publishing a recurring price for access. Listed whether or not the same vendor also publishes a rate elsewhere, because the question is what the plan figure alone supports. Order. Channels where the recurring figure is the sole published price first, then those publishing a rate elsewhere.
1The figure is real; the unit is what is missing
Nothing is being withheld here. Luma, Pika, Morph Studio and invideo AI all print their plan prices plainly, monthly and often annually. Reaching a rate needs three things — a price, a quantity and a unit — and a plan reliably supplies the first while leaving the other two to a sentence elsewhere that often does not exist.
Morph Studio shows it most clearly: four plans, a credit allowance on each, and usage described as a number of videos. A count of videos is a cost figure only if the videos run the same length, and generated clips do not. The plan is simple to budget against and impossible to set beside a metered channel.
2Where a plan price sits happily beside a usable rate
Three channels show the shape is not the obstacle. Dreamina attaches a per-second figure to a named plan billed annually, so plan and rate arrive together. Runway sells plans and keeps the rate on its developer page, where a buyer building against an API will look for it. Kling AI splits them the same way, subscription benefits on one page and developer packages on another.
The conclusion this ledger draws is narrow. Publishing a plan price is not what stops a channel publishing a rate, since several do both. A channel that publishes only the plan has made a decision about how it wants to be compared, and recording that decision is more useful than guessing the number it leaves out.
3A plan price describes the buyer, not the second
Plans sold per seat point at a team producing continuously, where the live question is how many people need access rather than how many seconds get generated. invideo AI prices that way. Costing one season against it means deciding how many months the season occupies, which is a scheduling assumption wearing the clothes of a price.
The other thing a plan carries is a reset. Whether an unspent allowance survives the end of the month changes the real cost of a quiet month considerably, and on most sites here it is answered on a different page from the plan figure — when it is answered at all. That question has its own entry on this ledger.

Price aside, what goes into the seconds behind “Plan prices” is described in SceneMixer's guides:
