Advantages
- The billing unit is explicit so per-clip and per-second rates remain distinct.

Disadvantages
- Retries and output settings can raise the actual cost.
- Resolution, audio, and clip-length options are not interchangeable.
Example workload cost
A 10-second output is about $0.8 at the stored per-second rate, before retries or settings-based surcharges.
This is an estimate from the listed rate, not a vendor quote. Actual charges can vary with model options, discounts, minimums, retries, and plan terms.
xAI lists $0.08/sec at 480p, $0.14/sec at 720p, and $0.25/sec at 1080p. Reference-image input may add a charge.
