## Calculator results are estimates, not quotes

**The calculator does arithmetic on rates that providers publish. It cannot see your account, your plan or your bill.**So what you actually pay can be different from what you see here.

An **estimate**here means a number worked out from a published rate and your inputs. It is not an offer, an invoice or a promise from us or from any provider.

Your real cost can differ from the estimate because:

- a provider changed its price after the check date shown next to the rate;
- your plan, region, promotion or credit bundle has its own rate;
- a provider bills per clip or in credits, and we converted that into a price per second;
- features like audio, upscaling or longer clips cost extra;
- your real discard rate is higher or lower than the number you entered.

You can read how each conversion works on [How It Works](/how-it-works/), and the rate we used for each model on the [pricing page](/pricing/). If the two disagree with the provider, the provider is right.

Don't rely only on this site to make a buying, budgeting or contract decision. Check the provider's official pricing first.

03

## Third-party models, names and links

**This is an independent site. We are not part of, endorsed by or paid by any AI video provider we list.**

Model and company names, such as Seedance, Hailuo, MiniMax, Veo, Kling, Runway, Luma, Pika and Sora, belong to their owners. We use them only to say which model a price refers to. We don't use their logos.

When you leave this site through a link, you are on someone else's website. Their terms, prices and privacy rules apply there, not ours. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for what they show or charge.

Some models, like Sora, are listed as discontinued. We keep them for reference only and leave them out of totals. See [Alternatives](/alternatives/) for models that are still running.

04

## How you may use the site

**Use the calculator for your own planning, at work or for personal projects. Share a link to it freely.**A few things are not allowed:

- Scraping the site at a rate that slows it down for other people.
- Trying to break into, overload or disrupt the site or the systems it runs on.
- Copying whole pages or the full rate table and passing them off as your own.
- Using the site to break any law.

Quoting a figure with a link back to the page is fine. So is citing a page in an article, a forum post or an AI answer, as long as you name aivideocostcalc.com as the source.

### Your content

The calculator only needs numbers: clip length, resolution, clip count and discard rate. You don't upload videos or images. How we handle visit data is covered in the [Privacy Policy](/privacy/).

### Our content

The text, layout, tables and code on this site are ours unless a page says otherwise. Rates belong to the providers who published them. We only collect and convert them.

05

## No warranty and limits on liability

**We provide the site “as is”. We try hard to keep it accurate, but we can't promise it is always correct, complete or online.**

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss that comes from using the site or relying on its numbers. That includes money spent on generation, missed budgets, lost profit and data loss. The site is free, and you choose whether to act on what it shows.

Some places don't allow some of these limits. If that's true where you live, the limits apply only as far as your local law allows. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have by law.

### Ads

The site is funded by ads, which may be served by third-party ad networks. Ads never change a calculator result or the order of models. Clicking an ad takes you to the advertiser's site, under their terms.

### Changes to the site and these terms

We may change, pause or remove features, rates or pages at any time. When we change these terms, we update the effective date at the top of this page. If you keep using the site after that, you accept the new version.

### Contact

Questions about these terms, or a rate you think is wrong: write to [contact@aivideocostcalc.com], or use the [Contact](/contact/) page.

## Common questions about these terms

**Short answers to the questions people ask most. The sections above have the full text.**

**

### Is the AI video cost calculator free to use?

**

Yes. It's free, needs no account and has no usage limits for normal use. Ads pay for the site.

**

### Will I pay exactly what the calculator shows?

**

Not always. The result is an estimate based on published rates and the check date shown next to each one. Your plan, region, extras and real retry count can change the final bill. Confirm the rate with the provider before you pay.

**

### Are you connected to Google, ByteDance, MiniMax, Runway or the other providers?

**

No. This is an independent site. We use model names only to say which price belongs to which model, and we don't use their logos.

**

### Can I quote your numbers in an article or a client proposal?

**

Yes, with a link to the page and the check date. For a client proposal, check the provider's current price first, because rates change often.

**

### What do I do if I find a wrong price?

**

Email contact@aivideocostcalc.com with the model name and a link to the provider's pricing page. We check it and fix the entry.
