Why it costs less

Same official Vidu Q3 Turbo, lower price

The model and its output are the same; the cost of serving it is lower. How our inference works.

Official partnerships

Direct partnerships with the official model labs give us their lowest partner and channel pricing on official models like Vidu Q3 Turbo.

Our own inference engine

For open-source models, our own inference engine — GPU scheduling, warm pools and per-model tuning — lowers the cost of every output further.

Automatic routing

Every Vidu Q3 Turbo request is routed to the most cost-effective healthy channel, with live health checks and failover.

Spend less

Ways to pay even less for Vidu Q3 Turbo

Draft at 540p, deliver at 1080p

A second of 540p costs $0.0332 — 54% of the 1080p rate ($0.0616/s). Iterate on prompts and camera moves cheaply, then render the final cut with the same prompt.

Sound is already in the price

Vidu Q3 Turbo generates synchronized audio at no extra cost, so there is no separate charge for ambience, effects or dialogue.

Test with 1-second clips

You pay per second of output (1–16 s per clip). A 1-second 540p test costs $0.033; lengthen only the takes you keep.

Failed generations cost nothing

The price is held when you submit and refunded in full if a generation fails or you cancel it while it is queued. You only pay for outputs you get.

Volume pricing below these rates

Committed monthly volume unlocks rates below the public price list, plus invoicing and dedicated capacity.

There is no subscription and no monthly fee. Cheaper Gen. is prepaid: add credits from $10, spend them on any model in the API or the Studio, and failed generations are refunded automatically. The quote endpoint (POST /v1/quote/{endpoint}) is free, so you can price any request before you run it.
