Tracked but not publicly priced
These platforms are not omitted. They are excluded from cost ranking until official public unit pricing is clear enough to calculate a fair estimate.
- Stability AI Video: Official pages describe Stable Video licensing and Brand Studio credits, but no public video-specific per-second or per-generation unit price was available.
- Higgsfield: Official pricing pages show subscription credits, but exact public per-model video credit burn was not fully disclosed in accessible official pages.
