Every Versely video generator, sorted by what one complete generation costs in credits, cheapest first. The floor is 2 credits for PrunaAI P-Video.
Two things about this ranking are worth saying plainly. It sorts on the cost of a whole job, not on a headline rate — several of these models bill per second of output, so a small headline number can be a large bill. And it only includes models that generate video: Versely also runs background removers, upscalers and segmenters at 1 credit, but those operate on footage you already have and are not what anyone means by a cheap AI video model.
