A cheap AI video generator that shows you the math
Most AI video tools hide the real price behind credit bundles. Here's ours in dollars: cinematic clips on our own GPU farm from about $0.30, budget Seedance Lite clips with sound from about $0.80, and Seedance 2.5 with native audio from about $1.15 — on ordinary plans, no special tiers. Every generation shows its token price before you spend it.
Everything on this page runs on Actoria.ai — the AI video generator where your cast never breaks character.
The actual per-video math
Actoria's Premium plan is $99 for 1,200 tokens weekly (≈5,200 a month). A 5-second clip on our Wan 2.2 farm costs 15 tokens — about $0.30. A 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip with built-in sound costs 80 tokens — about $1.60 (10 seconds: 160 tokens, ~$3.20); budget Seedance Lite halves that at 40 tokens (~$0.80). The Basic plan is $8.99 per week for 400 tokens: up to 26 farm clips or 5 sound clips weekly (≈115 farm clips a month).
Prices are current as of August 2026 (Seedance is on promo pricing). Compare that with typical AI video subscriptions: entry plans at $10–30 per month that translate to $1.50–4+ per clip once you divide the credits — usually without sound.
Why it's cheap: our own GPU farm
The $0.30 clips aren't subsidized — they run on GPUs we operate ourselves instead of paying per-call markups to a chain of APIs. The farm renders cinematic 720p clips and refreshes frames between scenes; heavy lifting like the 2K upscale of finished films runs on the same hardware for a few tokens per second.
Sound clips use ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 — an external state-of-the-art model — which is why they cost more than farm clips. Even so, our $1.15–1.60 per generation is one of the lowest published Seedance 2.5 prices anywhere: below every developer API. You choose per scene: cheap and silent, or with native audio.
Cheap doesn't mean stripped down
The low price buys the full studio: actors with faces that stay consistent across scenes, multi-scene films chained from last frames, your own verified face and invited friends in the cast, scene sound, and 2K upscale of the final cut. The only thing missing is the credit fog.
No surprise burns
Every action shows its token price before you confirm. Frames are cheap to iterate, so you polish the shot before spending video tokens, and failed generations refund automatically. Subscription tokens last the paid period; token packs you buy on top never expire.

Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest way to make AI videos?
Subscriptions with honest per-clip math beat pay-per-call APIs for regular use. In Actoria a cinematic 5-second clip is 15 tokens (~$0.30 on either plan) — among the lowest per-video prices for original generated clips, not templates.
Is there a free AI video generator?
Signing up and setting up projects, actors and frames is free in Actoria; video generation itself needs a plan (Basic $8.99/week). 'Free' generators usually pay for themselves with watermarks, queues and your data; we'd rather show a real price.
How much does one AI video cost here?
A 5-second clip: 15 tokens on the farm (~$0.30), 40 with Seedance Lite sound (~$0.80) or 80 with Seedance 2.5 (~$1.60). A 10-second clip: 40, 80 or 160 tokens. A finished multi-scene film is the sum of its scenes plus a small stitch fee — always shown before you press the button.
Are there hidden costs?
No. Everything is priced in tokens and shown before spending: scenes, sound passes, 2K upscale (a few tokens per second of film). Failed generations refund automatically, and purchased token packs never expire.
Why are you cheaper than the big-name tools?
Two reasons: our default model runs on GPUs we operate ourselves (no per-call reseller margins), and we pass Seedance 2.5's current promo pricing on instead of padding it. Prices are dated on this page — August 2026 — so you can hold us to them.
