klingai.com/api-pricing (Kling), lumalabs.ai/api (Luma), heygen.com/api-pricing (HeyGen),
platform.stability.ai/pricing (Stability AI), minimax.io/api (MiniMax/Hailuo),

Estimated entries (~) — Seedance 2.0, PixVerse V6, Pika 2.2, Wan 2.7, Kling 1.6, Veo 3.1 Lite,
Luma Ray Flash 2, GPT Image 1, Haiper 2.0, Seedream 4.0:
official direct API requires account registration or Chinese payment methods, or pricing is
derived from Replicate-published GPU run costs or third-party API published tiers (July 2026).
These are marked with "~est." in the comparison card.
Seedance 2.0: Volcengine API (官网) requires Chinese account and payment method — direct access
not available internationally without a Chinese account. Estimated comparison vs ¥5.00/5s clip ≈ $0.70.
ElevenLabs comparison: NeoPortal charges a flat $0.003 per TTS API request regardless of text length.
ElevenLabs API charges $0.30 per 1,000 characters ($300/1M chars). Comparison basis: a typical
200-character TTS request = ElevenLabs $0.060 vs NeoPortal $0.003 per request = 95% cheaper.
Note: NeoPortal's per-request flat rate is most advantageous for short requests (up to ~100 chars);
at 1,000 chars the comparison narrows to ~33% savings. Shown at position #4 rather than #1 for this reason.
Runway Gen-4 Turbo pricing is verified from the official Runway API Standard tier ($0.25 per 5s clip).
