How much does the PixVerse V6 API cost? 720p at $0.0645 per second

PixVerse V6 is billed per second on HiAPI, and text-to-video costs the same as image-to-video: 360p is $0.036 per second, 540p $0.05, 720p $0.0645, and 1080p $0.129; with synchronized audio enabled, the four tiers become $0.05, $0.0645, $0.086, and $0.1645. A 5-second 720p silent video costs $0.3225, so $10 covers about 31 clips.

PixVerse V6 is now live on HiAPI. Open the text-to-video model page to generate directly; new users get 200 credits on sign-up. To start from your own image, go to the image-to-video model page and upload a first frame.

How much does one video cost?

Resolution	Per second (no audio)	Per second (audio on)	5 seconds, silent	5 seconds, with audio
360p	$0.036	$0.05	$0.18	$0.25
540p	$0.05	$0.0645	$0.25	$0.3225
720p	$0.0645	$0.086	$0.3225	$0.43
1080p	$0.129	$0.1645	$0.645	$0.8225

The unit price depends only on output resolution and the audio toggle, and text-to-video and image-to-video cost the same. Billing is per successfully produced video; failed tasks are fully refunded.

The model page displays credits: 360p is 72 credits per second, 540p 100 credits, 720p 129 credits, and 1080p 258 credits; with audio on, the figures are 100, 129, 172, and 329 credits respectively. 2,000 credits = $1, so the estimated cost shown on the page can be checked directly against this table.

How much does a first test cost?

Budget	720p silent	720p with audio	1080p silent
$10	About 31 5-second clips	About 23 5-second clips	About 15 5-second clips

Start with 540p, 4 seconds, audio off to make drafts at $0.20 each; once the motion and composition are settled, upgrade to 1080p. Reworking the same prompt for two or three rounds still costs less in total than one final clip. Go to the model page and run your first one →

How do you work out a monthly budget?

Based on 5 seconds per clip:

Clips per month	720p silent	720p with audio	1080p silent	1080p with audio
100	$32.25	$43	$64.50	$82.25
1,000	$322.50	$430	$645	$822.50
10,000	$3,225	$4,300	$6,450	$8,225

Producing 1,000 5-second 720p silent videos a month costs $322.50; upgrading the same volume to 1080p with audio costs $822.50. Swap in your own monthly output to estimate your bill.

How do you choose resolutions to save the most?

• Draft at 540p first. A 4-second clip costs $0.20, and motion, composition, and camera movement are all settled at this tier.
• Upgrade to 1080p only once, for the final cut. A 5-second silent clip is $0.645; if you need sound effects and dialogue, turn audio on for $0.8225 per 5 seconds.
• Leave audio until the last step. 720p silent and with audio differ by $0.0215 per second, and on batch production this toggle directly raises the total price.
• Crop the first frame before image-to-video. This route has no aspect_ratio; the frame follows image_url, so submit a vertical image for vertical video and save a rerun.
• Submit each task only once. After you get the taskId, poll for it or receive the result via callback.url; resubmitting creates a new task and bills you twice.
• Pick a tier based on the publishing platform. For vertical mobile video, use 720p with audio at $0.43 per 5 seconds; go to 1080p only if you need a large screen or a second crop.

The coastal push-in shot below is 16:9, 5 seconds, 720p, with audio on, costing $0.43:

A cinematic slow dolly push-in across a windswept coastal cliff at golden hour. Tall grass ripples in the sea breeze, waves crash against dark rocks far below, warm low sunlight rakes across the scene. The camera glides forward steadily toward the cliff edge, revealing a wide ocean horizon. Shallow depth of field, gentle lens flare, realistic film grain, soft natural ambience of wind and distant surf.
