Which lab shows up most in this ranking?

Google trained 4 of the top 10 models here.

How is this ranked, and how current is it?

Every row is the cheapest price for that model that we can hold beside the others: the lab's own, a price below it with a published reason, or a price at or above it. A price that buys a different task, or a resolution the list price does not state, or a unit we will not convert without publishing the assumption, is shown on the model's page and ranked nowhere. Prices are read daily from 7 providers' public catalogs, against a market median of $0.435 per 5-second clip. Last refresh: 17 Sept 2026.

Cheapest AI video generation.

prices as of 17 Sept 2026 · re-ranked daily · 10 qualifying models · prices are per 5-second clip

Every video model sold by 2 providers or more, at the cheapest price we can hold beside the others. Two providers is the floor that keeps this list from being decided by one catalog's number. 10 models qualify, from $0.125 a clip. Where a lab prices several variants of one model the same, one of them stands for the rest. Prices are for one 5-second clip at 720p and the model's default frame rate, without generated audio, on the standard queue.

Today's pick is Pixverse 6 at Fal, $0.125 per 5-second clip, read on 17 Sept 2026.
