What a 3-minute AI music video costs on 5 tools (I build one of them)

MusicVideo AI — Sat, 14 Nov 2026 08:14:07 +0000

I build an AI music video tool, so I spend a lot of time on other people's pricing pages. The question every musician asks is simple: what will one video of my song cost?

So I priced one job, a 3-minute song turned into a full music video, on five tools: VibeMV, Neural Frames, Freebeat, Solmi and mine, MusicVideo AI.

The numbers

Tool	What a 3-minute video uses	Plan that covers it	Price of a 3-minute video
Freebeat	1,800 credits on its Fast Model (10 credits/s), up to 14,400 on Veo 3.1 (80 credits/s)	Basic: 1,990 credits for $4.99/week; Ultimate: 19,000 credits for $39.99/month	$4.51 (Fast Model) to $30.31 (Veo 3.1)
Neural Frames	1,152 to 6,372 credits, depending on the video model	Neural Knight ($39/month) for 2 models; Neural Ninja ($99/month) for all 7	$11.70 (Seedance Pro Fast) to $81.68 (Seedance 2.5)
Solmi	About 860 to 2,000 credits (its Plus plan makes "~3-7 full 1-min music videos" from 2,000 credits)	Plus: 2,000 credits for $35/month	About $15 to $35
VibeMV	520 credits (Base quality, 40 shots of about 4.5 s)	Hobby: 600 credits for $19/month	$16.47
MusicVideo AI	180 credits of video + 3 for the storyboard	Creator: 240 credits for $49/month	$37.36

Prices are each plan's share of credits for one video. Freebeat's prices were discounted on the day.

VibeMV's estimator at 3:00: 520 credits at Base quality, and Hobby (600 credits a month) is the best fit.

VibeMV's plans: Hobby is $19 a month for 600 credits.

Neural Frames at 3 minutes: $11.70 (Seedance Pro Fast) to $81.68 (Seedance 2.5) on monthly plans; a dash means the $39 Knight plan can't cover it.

MusicVideo AI's plans: Creator is 240 credits for $49 a month, and 1 credit is 1 second of video.

Freebeat's own price guide: the Fast Model is 10 credits a second, so 3 minutes is about 1,800 credits.

Solmi's plans: Plus is 2,000 credits for $35, which it says makes about 3 to 7 one-minute music videos.

What the numbers show

1. Most 3-minute videos cost $15 to $40. Solmi, VibeMV and MusicVideo AI all land in that range, and so does Freebeat if you pick one of its better models.

2. You can go under $5, but at 720p. Freebeat's fastest model makes a 3-minute video for about $4.51 inside its $4.99 weekly plan. That plan exports at 720p; 1080p starts on its $39.99 plan.

3. The best-looking models cost the most. The same 3 minutes is $30.31 on Freebeat with Veo 3.1 and $81.68 on Neural Frames with Seedance 2.5. If you want that look, budget for it before you start.

Read the line under the price

Four of the five have a sentence that matters as much as the number:

VibeMV: dance mode and regenerated shots cost extra.
Neural Frames: the prices cover video duration only, and scene images may add a small amount.
Freebeat: the estimate is an average of the past 30 days, actual cost may vary, and agent revisions use more credits.
MusicVideo AI: failed renders cost nothing, and you pay for a redo only when you choose one.

Regenerated shots are where the real bill grows, because AI video rarely gets every shot right the first time. When you compare tools, ask three things:

Can I see what the video will look like before I pay for video?
What happens to my credits when a render fails?
What does redoing one shot cost, compared with redoing the whole video?

Why I built mine around control

Many AI music video tools are built around one click: you get a whole video, and if a shot is wrong you pay to run it again. I wanted the opposite: you decide every shot before anything is rendered, and you can change any part without starting over.

Plan first. A storyboard shows one frame for every shot, timed to your song and playing over the track.
Change one thing at a time. Redraw a single frame, switch the look (four styles, or describe your own), or add a line of idea, and the rest of the plan stays.
Fix one shot, not the whole video. After it renders, remake just the shot you don't like, compare it with the old one and keep the better.
Export at 1080p. Every plan gives a 1080p MP4 with no watermark and your original audio.
Failed renders are free. A clip that fails is retried at no cost.

Here is a real one: our own song "Rewind to June" as a 21-second vertical clip in an anime look. Every shot is on screen, and the button shows the video's price before anything renders.

The storyboard for "Rewind to June": change any frame here, then make the video.

Which one fits your song

For a finished, high-quality music video you control shot by shot, pick MusicVideo AI. It exports a 1080p MP4 on every plan, including the cheapest, with no watermark and your original audio. You approve every shot on a storyboard before anything renders, and you can remake any single shot afterwards. A full 3-minute video costs $37.36 on the Creator plan.

The others fit narrower needs:

Lowest price, and 720p is fine: Freebeat's $4.99 weekly plan.
A steady monthly budget: VibeMV at $19 a month, or Solmi at $35.
One specific premium model: Neural Frames, which lets you pick from seven.

Which one have you tried, and what did your last music video cost you?
