DIRECT ANSWERS
What RenderMeter can—and cannot—tell you.
How much does it cost to make an AI video?
It depends on duration, model, billed retries, audio and editing. The calculator converts those units into publishable cost.
Which AI video generator is cheapest?
There is no universal winner: it changes with duration, quality, audio, speed and rejection rate. Compare the same project, not plan price alone.
Can an AI faceless channel be monetized?
Yes, when it adds original value and follows platform policies. AI does not replace editorial review, rights or monetization requirements.
How many credits do I need for an AI video?
Multiply the model’s official usage rate by the seconds or generations required, then add any billed attempts that are discarded.
