No tool has enough evidence for a tier yet. Tools will be scored and tiered by the method set out below, from dated price checks of each vendor's own pricing page.

What matters most to you?
Pick what matters most to you to see the weights and order you would get. The chosen criteria count double, then all weights are scaled to add up to 100 (shown rounded). Your pick changes only this view. It doesn't change any tool's tier or score.
This needs JavaScript. The stated weights are under How we score.

No tool has a tier yet, so there is nothing to reorder.
Video tools we track (26)
PProvisional: not yet tiered
No tool has enough evidence for a tier yet, so every tool below is Provisional, listed A to Z, with the reasons our scoring script found. Each shows its score so far, where missing data counts 0, so it is not a ranking. A tool whose price is under review shows no score until our data is corrected.
Scores so far count missing data as 0, so they are not a ranking.
Paid links in this table are marked Paid link. We earn a commission if you sign up through them. Columns follow the order of the list above; commission never sets the order.
Video tools side by side: tier, entry price, free plan, price check date and link
Monthly cost of video generation tools from each vendor's listed plans that state how many seconds of video they include. For each tool we show its lowest-cost paid plan that covers that usage. Each plan's seconds are for the one model named next to it, and models differ. Free plans, free trials and one-time credits are not counted. Tools are listed A to Z. This table is for your own comparison and isn't used for scores or tiers.
This calculator covers video generation tools only. Avatar, editing and captions tools are scored on this page but are not included in the calculator.
Paid links: Burncaps, Higgsfield, invideo AI, Submagic, Synthesia. We earn a commission if you sign up through them. This table uses only each vendor's listed prices and links to their own pricing page, and the lowest cost is plain arithmetic, not a recommendation. See our affiliate disclosure.

Not found: Fliki prices by credits for minutes of audio or video, not by seconds of video in a plan.
US dollars a month at each vendor's listed prices for monthly billing, before any tax, from the dated price checks linked in the table. A plan counts only up to the seconds of video it includes; we list no rate for more. "Not found" means our data has no plan from that vendor that includes that many seconds, so the tool is left out of the lowest cost.
Product, plan and model names (such as Gen-4.5) belong to their owners and are used only to identify each option.

How the tiers work
We earn a commission when you sign up through a paid link. It never affects our data, scores or order.
Each tool gets a score from 0 to 100 for video, from 7 criteria: value for money 38, user sentiment 16, output quality 10, ease of use 7, reliability and support 7, free plan and entry price 15, pricing transparency 7.
Value for money is not applied to video yet. It adds no points to any score, and every tool is Provisional.
Planned, not yet applied: value for money for video will be the monthly cost of 600 generated seconds of video on monthly billing, using each vendor's cheapest standard plan that includes them. It will be turned on once at least 5 video generation tools state on their pricing page how many seconds of video each plan includes. As of our latest data check, 2 do: Hailuo AI and Runway. The cost table above shows only Runway, because Hailuo AI's price is under review.
Price under review: Hailuo AI. Our recorded prices for it are being corrected, so we show no price and no score so far for it on this page until then. This is about our data, not about Hailuo AI's pricing page.
Prices come from our dated checks of each vendor's pricing page, and each one links to that page. List prices only: promos, coupons and credits are never treated as prices.
We don't show or use ratings from G2, Capterra or Product Hunt without their permission, so user sentiment, output quality, ease of use and reliability show "not found" for now.
A criterion with no data scores 0; the other weights are never scaled up to fill the gap. A tool needs data for 80% of the weight, ratings from 2 sources with 10+ reviews each, and 30+ reviews from the last 12 months, or it shows Provisional with the reason and no tier letter.
Scores are calculated without affiliate data: the build fails if removing or changing a tool's paid-link status would change any score.
A price check older than 30 days at our latest data check pauses the tool's score until it is re-checked.
Scores are computed by a script from the input files. There is no field to set a score by hand: the build fails if the tier input file has one.
