Affordable AI
video generator.
By Yuvraj SinghFounder, LeaxorUpdated
Leaxor is an affordable AI video generator because you pay per clip, not per month. A short draft costs $0.10 on Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 or Seedance 1.0 Pro. Kling, Veo 3.1 and Seedance sit on the same shelf of 23 models, and every price is listed below. Credits never expire, so a quiet month costs nothing.

What every AI video model costs
Here are all 23 clip models from 9labs, sorted cheapest first. Each price is that model's cheapest render: shortest length, lowest resolution, sound off. Longer clips and higher resolutions cost more. For the per-second breakdown, see what AI video costs per second.

1 credit = $0.10. “Sound” is the extra cost of the model's native audio track at the same settings; a dash means the model renders silent clips.
Cheap AI video, with the receipts
These are the six cheapest clips on our homepage reel, each from a single prompt with no editing afterwards. The price under each one is what that exact render costs today. None of them cost more than $0.60.
Why pay-per-clip is the affordable option, and when it isn't
A monthly plan charges you whether you render or not. Most people making video for a channel or a client work in bursts: twenty clips one week, none the next. Credits that never expire match how that work actually goes.
Clip prices are set at roughly what each model costs to run, plus enough to cover payment processing and renders that fail and get retried. There's no margin stacked on top, and you aren't paying for a tier of features you never open.
Now the honest part. If you render hundreds of clips a day on one model, an unlimited plan from that model's own maker can come out cheaper per clip. Pay-as-you-go wins when you use several models, or when your volume is uneven. Our AI video generator pricing comparison lays out how the other tools charge.
Uneven volume
You make a batch for a launch, then nothing for a fortnight. Nothing resets in between.
Several models
One balance covers 23 models. You don't need three subscriptions to try Kling, Veo and Seedance.
Small teams
Business teams share one wallet with a budget per member, and there are no seat fees.
Five ways to keep an AI video budget small
Most of the money in AI video goes on renders you throw away. These habits cut that down.
- 1
Draft on a cheap model, finish on a flagship
Test the idea on Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 or Seedance 1.0 Pro for $0.10. Once the shot works, render it once on Kling v3 or Veo 3.1.
- 2
Settle the look as an image first
An image costs 1–3 credits. Get the composition right as a still, then animate it with image to video, so motion is the only thing left to pay for.
How to make a video from an image - 3
Leave sound off unless you need it
On Veo 3.1 the native audio track takes the cheapest clip from $1.00 to $1.90. It's included at no extra cost on PixVerse V6, Flux 3 Draft, Wan 3.0, Wan 3.0 Prime, Flux 3, Seedance 2.5.
- 4
Render short, then extend
A 5-second clip that works is worth more than a 15-second one that doesn't. Extend the good one rather than gambling on length up front.
- 5
Pick the resolution you'll publish at
A vertical Short watched on a phone rarely needs 4K. Rendering at the size you'll post skips paying for pixels nobody sees.
A finished video for the price of a coffee
Clips are one job. The other is a whole video from a topic: script, illustrated scenes, animation, narration and burned-in captions, delivered as a vertical MP4. It's priced per video by quality tier, not per clip. See how it works on the AI video maker page.

Affordable AI video generator FAQ
What is the most affordable AI video generator?
For occasional use, a pay-per-clip generator is usually the most affordable, because you pay nothing in the months you don't render. On Leaxor the cheapest clip is 1 credit ($0.10) on Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 or Seedance 1.0 Pro, and 15 of the 23 models start below 50 cents. If you render every day at high volume, an unlimited plan from a single-model vendor can work out cheaper per clip.
What is the cheapest AI video generator without a subscription?
Leaxor has no subscription at all. Credits cost $0.10 each, the smallest top-up is 50 credits ($5.00), and credits never expire. A clip costs 1 credit to 13 credits at each model's shortest, lowest-resolution setting, and the composer shows the exact price before you generate.
How much does it cost to make an AI video?
It depends on the model, the length and the resolution. A few-second draft costs $0.10. The cheapest flagship clip is $0.30 on Kling v3, and Veo 3.1 starts at $1.00. A finished narrated video with captions costs $1.50, $3.00, $9.00 by quality tier. All fifteen clips on our homepage reel would cost 120 credits ($12.00) to render today.
Are cheap AI video models good enough to post?
Often, yes, for social clips, b-roll and drafts. The cheaper models give up resolution and length first, and they're less reliable on complicated motion and hands. A good habit is to find the idea on a cheap model, then spend flagship credits once on the version you'll actually publish.
Is there a free AI video generator?
Some generators offer a free tier with daily limits, watermarks or low resolution. Leaxor doesn't have a free tier or free credits. You pay for what you render, at prices set at roughly what each model costs to run plus payment processing, and credits for a render that fails on our side are refunded automatically.
Do the credits expire?
No. Credits stay in your account until you spend them, whether that's next week or next year. That's the main difference from a monthly plan, where unused generations usually reset at the end of the billing cycle.
