TokelyTHE COST OF BUILDING WITH AI
Compare AI video API costs
Compare supported video-generation variants by clip length, resolution and published billing unit. Explore Grok Imagine, Seedance, Kling, Veo and other enabled options.
THE SHORT ANSWER
Video API costs depend on duration, resolution, model version and reference inputs. Tokely prices supported fixed variants and executes video generation as an asynchronous task. Match those settings before comparing two offers.
Price the clip you will actually generate
A five-second clip and an eight-second clip are not equivalent offers. Match output resolution, length, mode and reference requirements. The table links each variant's configuration instead of dividing unlike jobs into a misleading universal ranking.
An accepted job is not safe to submit twice
After a supplier accepts a task, poll the existing task instead of resubmitting it because a response is slow. Tokely preserves accepted-task pinning and avoids fallback after an ambiguous acceptance. A documented reserve route does not prove every supplier is always available.

Questions before you switch
Are video responses returned like a text chat?
No. The supported video contract is an asynchronous media task. Follow the media documentation to submit, poll and retrieve its artifacts.
Does every video model have an active backup supplier?
No. Some enabled variants have only one compatible configured route. Model availability is not a promise of redundant suppliers for every variant.
