Video is where HiAPI's Black Friday saves the most: at the $500 level, every second costs about 77% of list. From Nov 24 to Nov 30 (PT), video spend earns up to 20% back and top-ups get up to 10% bonus credit, and video spend climbs the tiers fastest. Across the models below, a second costs from under 3 cents (Seedance 2.0 Mini, 480p) to 86 cents (Veo 3.1 in 4K with audio).

Here's each model, per second and per clip, at list and Black Friday prices.

Watch it: a 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip, $1.02 at list, about $0.78 on Black Friday

This 5-second Seedance 2.5 clip (720p, 16:9, no audio) is $1.02 at list price, or about $0.78 at the Black Friday rate.

Prompt: "Cinematic 5-second motion graphic, deep charcoal background with soft warm orange light. Glowing orange particles stream in and assemble into a stack of three translucent glass cards floating in space; the camera slowly orbits as the cards tilt and catch the light. Abstract tech feel, smooth, elegant, no text, no people, no logos."

Get the most seconds out of Black Friday week

  • Draft cheap, finish on the good model. Iterate prompts on Seedance 2.0 Mini or Veo 3.1 Lite at 720p (6 cents a second or less), then render the keepers on Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0 or Veo 3.1. Every draft second still counts toward spend-back.
  • Turn audio off when you'll replace it. On Veo 3.1, audio roughly doubles the 720p price ($0.29 → $0.57). If music or voice-over goes on later, skip it.
  • Watch the $300 and $500 lines. Video spend crosses spend-back tiers quickly: 100 Veo 3.1 Fast clips (8 s, audio) are $200. If you're near $300 or $500 on Nov 29–30, a final batch can move your whole week up a tier.

FAQ

Does every video model count toward spend-back? Yes. All image, video and audio models count, including the Kling, Veo and Seedance APIs.

Is there a separate price for Black Friday? No. List prices stay the same; the saving comes from bonus credit and spend-back. That's why the "BF" column depends on how much you top up.

When is spend-back paid? December 3, to your HiAPI balance.
