FAQ
Video model pricing, answered
- How much does Veo 3.1 cost per second?
- Veo 3.1 costs $0.40 to $0.60 per second with audio; Veo 3.1 Fast costs $0.10 to $0.35 per second with audio; Veo 3.1 Lite costs $0.05 to $0.08 per second with audio, depending on the provider and resolution. Turning generated audio off is cheaper on most providers; the table shows both.
- What is the cheapest AI video generation API?
- At the prices we checked, HeyGen Video 1 · 480p on Sume is the cheapest at $0.01 per second. With generated audio included, the cheapest is PixVerse V6 · 540p · audio on on fal.ai at $0.045 per second. Cheaper models usually mean lower resolution or less motion control, so compare a few clips before committing.
- Why does the same model cost more on one provider than another?
- Platforms such as Higgsfield, fal.ai, wiro.ai, Sume and Replicate resell first party models and set their own margins. Resolution, generated audio and promotional discounts also change the rate. The table puts each provider in its own column, one row per model, resolution and audio setting, so the gap is easy to see.
- Can I still use Sora through an API?
- No. OpenAI's model pages say the Sora 2 API was shut down on September 24, 2026, and fal.ai lists its Sora endpoints as deprecated, so Sora is not in this comparison.
- Do these prices include sound?
- Each row says whether its price is with audio on or off. Rows marked with a music note include generated audio. Turn on “Audio on only” to see only those.
- How often are the prices updated?
- Every price links to the page it came from. This list was last checked on October 29, 2026. Providers change prices often, so confirm on the source page before a large run.
- How does Raytake use these prices?
- Raytake is a Mac app that makes short videos through chat. It shows the price of each model before anything runs, makes still frames first so you only pay to animate the scenes you approve, and stops at a spending cap you set for each video.

every video you make
Raytake picks a model, shows what the clip will cost, and waits for your approval before it spends anything.
