Ranked, cheapest first
Every figure is provider list x 1.25 for a 16:9 frame, read from the repo tables on 2026-10-13. Kling 3 always renders 1080p; Omni Flash, H3 Max and Wan list their own 1080p tier.
| Rank | Model | Sume $/s | 10 s job |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | kling-3 (silent) | $0.1400 | $1.40 |
| 2 | gemini-omni-flash-1.1 | $0.1875 | $1.88 |
| 3 | minimax-h3-max | $0.2000 | $2.00 |
| 4 | kling-3 (audio) | $0.2100 | $2.10 |
| 5 | wan-3.0 | $0.2500 | $2.50 |
| 6 | seedance-2 | $0.8505 | $8.51 |
| 7 | seedance-2.5 | $1.4216 | $14.22 |
Caveats on the ranking
Cheaper per second is not cheaper per shot when the model cannot make the length you need. Omni Flash stops at 10 seconds, Kling 3 and Seedance 2.0 at 15, H3 Max at 15, while Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 go to 30.
H3 Max renders natively at 480p and 768p, and its 1080p is a refinement from 768p, as the Video Router notes say. Seedance 2.0 Fast and Mini do not offer 1080p at all.
The 15-second case: a 15-second 1080p job is $2.10 on Kling 3 silent, $3.00 on H3 Max, $3.75 on Wan 3.0 and $12.76 on Seedance 2.0.
