Does the cheapest way to pay change with volume?
One line per channel: an API is a straight line; a subscription is the cheapest plan that covers the month, so it climbs in steps and stops past the largest plan (extra credit packs are not counted).
At 10 videos a month, each channel costs:
- Volcengine Ark · API$3.75/moCheapest
- fal · API$7.74/mo
- Runway API$8/mo
- Luma · Subscription$30/mo
- 1–1,000 videos a month: Volcengine Ark · API is cheapest

How much Seedance 2.0 Mini video the credits buy
On Luma
| Resolution | Audio | Billing | Credits per second | Plus 10,000 credits | Pro 40,000 credits | Ultra 150,000 credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | With audio | Per second 26 credits | 26 | 385 s ≈38 clips of 10s | 1538 s ≈153 clips of 10s | 5769 s ≈576 clips of 10s |
| 720p | With audio | Per second 55 credits | 55 | 182 s ≈18 clips of 10s | 727 s ≈72 clips of 10s | 2727 s ≈272 clips of 10s |
Rates come from Luma's official pricing page; seconds are the plan's credits divided by the rate. That is the ceiling if you do nothing else — credits also go to images, voice, upscaling and more, so the real total is lower. Where a model has several rows, the vendor prices clip lengths separately — the per-second rates really differ; it is not a typo. Models without an exact official rate we could find are left out; we don't estimate for them.
This model is included in plans on InVideo AI, Higgsfield, Krea, but we found no exact official rate for it there, so no durations are listed — we don't estimate on a vendor's behalf.
How the status is checked
Whether a model still runs is checked separately from prices: prices change monthly, but a model can disappear between two price syncs, quietly making every page that mentions it wrong. So each model record has its own confirmation date and review deadline; overdue records are flagged, never assumed to still be running.
Last confirmed on Sep 17, 2026; due to be rechecked by Oct 17, 2026.
