AI model pricing, per model

Every model Forge AI can run, and what one generation costs at the provider’s own rate: video from about $0.01 to $0.68 per second, images from $0.01 to $0.16, lipsync from $0.06 per second and upscaling from $0.05. You pay fal.ai, Kie, Google AI Studio, ElevenLabs or OpenRouter directly on your own key, so nothing on this page carries a platform markup.

The tables below are generated from the same cost tables the app prices a graph with, so a node’s estimate and this page can never disagree. Rates are what the provider charges at the time of the update above, and superseded models stay runnable even when they leave the picker.

Veo on Kie, by resolution

Kie bills Veo per video rather than per second, so a 30 second render costs the same as an 8 second one. Resolution is the only thing that moves the price.

What a finished ad costs

A typical 15 second UGC ad: one character image on Nano Banana 2 at $0.08, one product composite at $0.08, a 15 second render on Kling 2.6 Pro at $0.08 a second for $1.20, a voice track, and an optional SeedVR upscale at $0.06 a second for $0.90. That is roughly $2.30 all in, and dropping the upscale or moving the render to Kling 1.6 Standard at $0.02 a second takes it under $0.60.

Questions

What is the cheapest AI video model?

Minimax video-01-live at about $0.01 per second of output, then Kling 1.6 Standard at $0.02 and Kling 1.6 Pro at $0.04. On Kie, Grok Imagine Video 1.5 starts at about $0.008 per second at 480p.

How much does Veo 3.1 cost per video?

On fal, Veo 3.1 text to video is a flat $1.60 per video and image to video is $0.40 per second. On Kie the Veo tiers are flat per video: Lite $0.15, Fast $0.30 and Quality $1.25 at 720p, rising to $0.75, $0.90 and $1.85 at 4K.

Does Forge AI add a markup to these prices?

No. You connect your own fal.ai, Kie, Google AI Studio, ElevenLabs or OpenRouter key and the provider bills you directly at its published rate. Forge AI never sells credits and takes no cut of a generation.

How much does a finished AI ad cost?

Roughly $0.30 to $5 in provider spend for image generation, voice, lipsync and the video render combined. A 15 second Kling 2.6 Pro render at $0.08 a second is $1.20, and the character image behind it is a few cents.

Which model should I use for a talking head ad?

Generate the character on Nano Banana 2 or GPT Image, animate with a lipsync model, and pick by rate: InfiniteTalk at $0.06 a second, Kling Avatar at $0.115, Fabric at $0.15, Hedra at $0.20.
