Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: avatar videos combine per-second video generation with per-character speech, so length hits both meters. In practice the biggest savings come from keeping videos short and scripts tight, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by adding per-second avatar video cost to the TTS cost of the script. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
Frequently asked questions
What are the cost components?+
Video generation per second plus speech synthesis for the script.
How do I keep it affordable?+
Short clips and concise scripts reduce both meters.
Are these prices up to date?+
Yes. The model prices behind this calculator are refreshed and reviewed daily, so your estimate reflects current provider rates rather than a stale snapshot.
