How we count
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. 9 models qualify, from $0.25 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.
A price below the lab's own is listed only when the provider says why.
- Maker's price
- What the lab that trained the model charges on its own API. Every other row is measured against it.
