I benchmarked 14 talking-head models, compared 4 Russian TTS engines, and calculated GPU costs across 5 platforms. Here's the full interactive infographic.
Key Numbers
- $0.09 per minute of video
- 3-4 vertical videos per day
- $11/mo for a complete single-blogger pipeline
- $40/mo for 5 bloggers in parallel
The Pipeline
5 steps from idea to publication:
- Script — Claude / GPT-4 (~10 sec)
- TTS → Audio — Silero v5 on CPU ($0)
- Talking Head — EchoMimic V3 (~$3/mo)
- B-roll — Wan 2.1 1.3B (~$2/mo)
- Assembly — FFmpeg on CPU ($0)
What's Inside the Infographic
- Benchmark table of 9 talking-head models (from Wav2Lip to HeyGen)
- 4 TTS engines compared for Russian voice quality
- GPU platform comparison (RunPod, Vast.ai, SaladCloud, Modal)
- 3 budget scenarios ($11 / $74 / $40)
- Quality/Cost matrix of top-5 configurations
- Launch roadmap
Building this for SBORKA, our career club. Need to scale content without scaling the team.
