How Kie.ai charges
Kie.ai is an API reseller that bills in credits bought in advance, at $0.005 per credit on the base top-up, with no subscription. Its pricing page lists every model in credits and in dollars: most video models per second of output, Veo 3.1 as one flat price per video whatever its length, and a few per clip of a fixed length. Larger top-ups add 10% bonus credits, which lowers the effective price; the radar uses the base rate. Requests that send a video as input are billed on the input and output seconds together and are not compared here.
Every model on Kie.ai, against the other platforms
"Cheapest clip here" is the lowest price Kie.ai lists for a text-to-video clip of that model, in any
of its versions, at 5 seconds or the model's nearest length. Rank compares that exact spec (version, resolution, length,
audio) on every platform that prices it; prices less than half a cent or 0.5% apart count as a tie. Web subscriptions are compared at their best price on a monthly plan.
Price badges
For the models where Kie.ai has the lowest price on the radar. Each badge is drawn live from
the table above, so it stops saying "lowest" if that changes. Free to use; it links back to the comparison it comes from.
