How costs are calculated: generation cost = (videos × duration × resolution multiplier × 1.2 overhead) × cost per second for each model. The 20% overhead accounts for clips you regenerate due to quality issues, standard in professional AI video workflows. Resolution multipliers: 720p = 0.8×, 1080p = 1×, 4K = 1.5×. Sora 2 costs use ChatGPT credit rates (16 credits/sec at 720p × $0.02). Veo 3.1 uses Google's published API rates. Subscription plan costs are separate, the plan cost shown is what you'd pay monthly to have enough credits. Pricing verified April 2026, check each tool's website for current rates.
