AI video and image tool alternatives, priced per second
Each guide prices every route in one unit — cost per second of video, or cost per image — from the live rate card that bills the render, generated 28 July 2026. Vendor figures are cited to the vendor's own page with the date we read it, and each guide names the case where staying on the incumbent is the right call.

More guides are in progress; each ships only once every figure on it is either billed by this site's own rate card or cited to the vendor's page with a read date. Already know you want the head-to-head instead? The comparison pages cover that side.
