How do you get the lowest cost per AI video?
On Viralance, the lowest cost per video comes from short drafts: a 5-second Grok Imagine (480p) or Vidu Q3 Turbo (540p) clip is 2 credits, about $0.36 on the Business pack or $0.60 on Mini, and a 4-second 720p VEO 3.1 Lite clip with native audio is 3 credits. You pay only for the clips you make, the exact cost is shown before every run, and failed generations are refunded automatically. Viralance is not the cheapest per clip for everyone: if you generate a lot every month, a model's own app or a fully used subscription usually costs less per clip. Pay-per-video wins when your use is light or irregular, because credits never expire instead of resetting each month.
The concrete numbers
- Drafts: Grok Imagine 5s at 480p (2 cr), Vidu Q3 Turbo 5s at 540p (2 cr).
- Lowest-cost 720p with native audio: VEO 3.1 Lite at 3/4/5 credits for 4/6/8 seconds.
- Draft short and at 720p, then re-render only the winner on a premium model; a 6-second 720p VEO 3.1 Fast clip is 8 credits.
- Credit price ranges from $0.30 (Mini pack) down to $0.18 (Business pack).
- Pay only for what you use: the exact credit cost appears on the Generate button before every run. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, and failed generations refund their credits automatically.
- Credits never expire, so a quiet month wastes nothing. Many subscription tools reset unused monthly credits at renewal.
Common follow-ups
Is Viralance the cheapest AI video generator?
Not per clip for every user. A model's own app (for example Google Flow, Kling or PixVerse) or a fully used monthly subscription can cost less per clip if you generate a lot every month. Viralance makes a different trade-off: no subscription, one-time packs from $9, credits that never expire, 20+ video models on one balance, and automatic refunds for failed generations.
When does pay-per-video beat a subscription?
When your use is light or irregular. A subscription bills every month, and on many plans unused credits reset at renewal. Ten 4-second VEO 3.1 Lite clips are 30 credits (about $9.00 at Mini pack rates), and whatever you don't use stays on your balance. If you make only around 10 videos a month, or work in bursts, paying per clip can cost less in total than a plan you don't use up. At steady high volume, a subscription usually wins per clip.
What does one video actually cost in dollars?
It depends on model, length and resolution. On the $9 Mini pack a credit is $0.30; on the $299 Business pack it is $0.18. So a 3-credit VEO 3.1 Lite clip is ~$0.90 on Mini or ~$0.54 on Business, and a 6-second VEO 3.1 Fast clip (8 credits) is ~$2.40 or ~$1.45.
Are these prices with or without a watermark?
Videos made before your first purchase carry a small Viralance watermark. Any paid pack removes it from all your videos, past and future.
Is there a full price table?
Yes — the pricing page lists every pack, and each model page shows per-configuration credit costs. The Generate button always shows the final cost before you spend.
Pay-per-video AI generation. 20+ models, one-time credits from $9, credits never expire.
