How to use this chart
Start with price only to shortlist models, then use quality, audio, retake risk and use-case fit to choose. The cheapest model is not always the cheapest project if it needs too many retries.
FAQ
Which model is cheapest in the chart?
Budget models such as Vidu, Wan and Runway Gen-4 Turbo are lowest in this snapshot, but check current prices before choosing.
Does audio support matter?
Yes. Native audio can reduce separate voice and sound steps, but it also means failed generations include audio costs.
Why does the chart link to calculators?
Because the right model depends on your seconds, scenes and retake multiplier.
