Lab costs vary by model, duration and settings; compare the displayed estimate before you run. A fixed historical per-clip figure is not a current quote.

The map

Model Best for Cost posture
Seedance 2.0 Product ads, UGC-style, volume testing Varies; check Lab estimate
Kling 3.0 Motion-heavy shots, materials, motion copy Mid — pay for fidelity
Veo 3.1 Photorealistic lifestyle, scaled winners Premium
Wan 2.7 Image-to-video, stylized segments Flexible
Gemini Omni Real-world realism, consistent avatars, up to 4K Cheapest (~$1.58/10s at 720p)

The workflow that protects your budget

  1. Explore on Seedance 2.0 — ten angles, ~$25
  2. Identify the hook that holds past second one
  3. Upgrade the winner on Kling 3.0 or Veo 3.1
  4. Assemble extras in one workspace: Suno music, Kling AI Avatar lip sync, HeyGen v2 translation
