Which AI turns a video into anime, and what does it cost?
Updated
Four practical options in 2026: DomoAI (from $13 a month, clips up to 10 seconds on the entry plans), GoEnhance (from $9.99 a month, up to 20 seconds on Standard), Runway (from $15 a month, Aleph 2.0 at 28 credits a second) and Viralance Restyle at 10 credits per started minute of source video on one-time packs. For short clips the subscription tools are fine; for anything over half a minute, per-minute billing is usually the cheapest route, since a 2-minute clip is 20 credits on Viralance ($6.00 on Mini, $3.62 on Business). All of them redraw the frames and keep the motion; prices below were checked on November 7, 2026.
The concrete numbers
- Viralance Restyle: 10 credits per started minute (minimum 10), output up to 720p, uploads up to 500 MB, original soundtrack kept. A failed job is refunded.
- DomoAI: Basic $13 a month ($9 billed yearly) for 600 credits; input up to 10 seconds on Basic and Standard, 30 seconds on Pro ($142, or $99 yearly).
- GoEnhance: Basic $9.99 a month ($8 yearly) for 600 tokens; 20-second input on Standard ($24.99), 60 seconds on Pro ($49.99).
- Runway: Standard $15 a month ($12 yearly) for 625 credits; Aleph 2.0 video-to-video is 140 credits per 5 seconds.
- To generate new anime clips from a prompt instead of converting footage, Hailuo 2.3 is the low-cost model for anime motion on Viralance (4 credits for 6 seconds).

Common follow-ups
What is the cheapest way to turn a long video into anime?
Per-minute billing. A 3-minute clip is 30 credits on Viralance Restyle ($9.00 on Mini, $5.44 on Business); tools that bill per second or cap input at 10 to 30 seconds need many separate jobs for the same footage.
Does the anime version keep my voice?
On Viralance, yes: Restyle redraws the picture and puts the original soundtrack back on the result.
What prompt gives a good anime look?
Name the style precisely: “90s cel anime, flat colours, bold outlines, painted backgrounds” works better than “anime”. Lower the style strength if faces drift too far from the original.
What resolution is the result?
Viralance Restyle returns up to 720p. Check each tool’s plan for its export resolution.
