Image, video and audio generation tools compared — subscription tiers, per-generation cost and free-tier availability

🖼️ Image Generation

Mostly credit or subscription-based rather than pure pay-per-image — Midjourney, Ideogram, Recraft-style tools bundle a monthly generation allowance. API-first tools (DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Flux) charge per image, typically $0.02–$0.08 depending on resolution and model tier.

🎬 Video Generation

The most expensive modality — priced per second of output rather than per clip. Consumer subscriptions (Runway, Luma, Pika, Kling) convert a monthly credit allowance into seconds of video; API access (Google Veo) charges directly per second, which adds up fast for longer clips.

🎙️ Audio Generation

Voice cloning/TTS (ElevenLabs) bills by character count; music generation (Suno, Udio) bills by song credits. Cheapest modality to get started in — most have a usable free tier, unlike image and video.

About this data: Unlike the AI Model Price Comparison page, there's no equivalent of OpenRouter or LiteLLM for image/video/audio generation tools, so this list is hand-curated from each provider's own published pricing page rather than fetched live. "From" prices are the cheapest paid entry point per tool (lowest subscription tier or per-unit rate) — actual cost per generation varies by resolution, duration and model quality within each tool. Updated manually as providers change pricing; if something looks stale, it probably is — flag it.
