    Linear per second

    What does a 30-second AI talking head cost?

    Between 30 and 720 credits. Lipsync bills per second of finished clip, and across the 21 lipsync models Versely runs the rate spans 1 to 24 credits a second — a 24× spread on the same 30 seconds. The script, the face, the voice and the language change none of it.

    Billed per second of finished clipper_second

    The formula

    credits = rate_per_second × seconds
    rate_per_second
    set entirely by the model, and on some models by the resolution band too — 1 to 24 credits across the catalogue. It does not move with script length, voice or language.
    seconds
    the length of the finished clip, which for lipsync is the length of the audio you feed it. Trim the audio and the bill falls in exact proportion.

    Worked example — A 30-second piece to camera on Sync Lipsync 2.0

    1. 1.rate_per_second = 4 credits
    2. 2.seconds = 30
    3. 3.4 × 30

    = 120 credits

    Why the same 30 seconds has a 20-fold price range

    Linear per-second billing is the easiest formula on Versely to predict and the easiest one to overpay on. There is no entry fee, no minimum block and no rounding: one second costs the rate, sixty seconds cost sixty times the rate. That makes the arithmetic trivial and makes the model choice the entire decision.

    The spread is what people miss. Every rate in the table below animates a face to speak, and every one is billed on the same rate-times-seconds shape — but the rates differ by 24×. On a single 30-second clip that is 30 credits against 720. Across five clips a week for a month it is 600 against 14,400.

    The same shape prices video extension and motion-control jobs, which is why a long extend can quietly become the largest single charge in an account: nothing in the formula caps it except the model's own maximum duration.

    Every cell is the rate multiplied by the duration — that is the entire formula. 26 rate rows across 21 models collapse into these 12 distinct prices.

    Where each model stops

    The catalogue publishes a floor and a ceiling per model. The ceiling is the rate times the longest clip it will render, so it doubles as a maximum-length check.

    What changes a lipsync bill

    Which model renders it

    The only lever that matters. Same 30 seconds, 30 credits or 720.

    Audio length

    Directly proportional. Cutting a rambling 45-second read to a tight 30 removes exactly a third of the bill.

    Resolution, on models that price it

    Several lipsync models publish separate SD and HD/4K rates, and the gap between them is often as large as the gap between two different models.

    Retakes

    Every retake is a fresh render at the full rate. There is no partial charge for a clip you throw away and no discount on the second attempt.

    What a lipsync charge does not cover

    • The voiceover itself — if you are generating the audio rather than recording it, that is billed separately per 1,000 characters of script.
    • Captions burned onto the finished clip, which are their own render with their own preset multiplier.
    • The face image, if you are generating that rather than uploading a photo.

    How many talking heads a month of credits buys

    A Monthly plan's 774 credits covers 25 thirty-second clips at the 1-credit rate, or 1 at the 24-credit rate. Same plan, same clip, 24 clips of difference.

    Plan sizes and what each grants are on the cost hub.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is a 60-second talking head exactly twice the price of a 30-second one?+

    Yes. Per-second billing is linear with no entry fee and no minimum block, so doubling the duration doubles the credits precisely. That is not true of the block-priced or base-plus-marginal models used for generated video.

    Why is one lipsync model 24 times the price of another?+

    Because the rate is a property of the model, not of your clip. The catalogue publishes per-second lipsync rates from 1 to 24 credits, and every one of them is billed on the same rate-times-seconds formula.

    Does the language of the script change the price?+

    No. Nothing in this formula reads the language — only the duration. A 30-second clip costs the same in Japanese as in English. Translating a finished video into other languages is a different job on a different formula.

    What is the longest clip I can render?+

    Each model publishes its own ceiling. The second table converts every published maximum back into seconds at that model's top rate, so the length limits are readable at a glance.

    Do I pay for a render that comes out wrong?+

    A completed render is charged whether or not you like it. The cheapest insurance is a short test on the same model first — at 1 to 24 credits a second, a five-second test is a fraction of the full job.

    Different job, different arithmetic

    These are not variations on the formula above — each one meters something else entirely.

    What does exporting in 4K instead of 1080p cost?

    credits = rate_per_second(resolution) × seconds

    It switches the per-second rate by resolution band, and the premium differs by model.

    What does a clip longer than five seconds cost?

    credits = base_first_5s + rate_per_extra_second × (seconds − 5)

    It charges an indivisible entry block, then meters only the seconds beyond it.

    What does a finished 30-second AI ad cost end to end?

    credits = (image_price × shots) + (video_rate × seconds) + ceil(chars ÷ 1,000 × 12) + (lipsync_rate × seconds) + export

    It sums four unrelated meters, so no single rate predicts the total.
