Hey everyone! Some folks were asking about how OpenArt stacks up. Here's the shot breakdown:
On OpenArt the same film would have taken 5 hours and 45 minutes to generate the assets and it would have cost us $465.
So final results on price:
1. Higgsfield - $150.14
2. Google Flow - $249
3. Leonardo - $350.21
4. Freepik - $416.64
5. Krea - $457.14
6. OpenArt - $465.00
7. Firefly - $504.00
8. Artlist - $611.51

And Final results on time (low is better):
1. Google Flow - .93 Hours
2. Freepik - 3.1 Hours
3. Firefly - 3.2 Hours
4. Higgsfield - 3.5 Hours
5. Krea - 4 Hours
6. Leonardo - 5.3 Hours
7 - Artlist - 5.5 Hours
8. OpenArt - 5.75 Hours

Hope that helps! Our final recommendation is Google Flow with a pro subscription to Freepik for backup shots. Best balance of time and money in our opinion.

Thanks for spending all those credits to pull all the stats for us!

Great point on regional models. Omnely is the only place I’ve found that lets you toggle between Kling, Sora, and Veo 3.1 to get the best physics for each shot.

freepik is now called Magnific for anyone here in late June.

This is a real human. Listen to him!

North of $400 for a 2-minute film?! Those who see themselves doing faceless long-form on YouTube sure need to have bottomless pockets.

Thank you…great, valuable breakdown on time and cost…most helpful presentation.

Dang. That hook was all I was thinking about this whole video. Great breakdowns. Thanks for doing the credit cost comparisons. Very helpful

Thank you so much. Valuable and well paced video. As a side note: I got my feet wet with free image models (rate limit pain) and Grok. I was able to create an amateur book trailer video. Note 2: Since this video was recorded, Google lab products Whisk and ImageFX are consolidated in Flow now with zero credits for image generation (includes Nano Banana 2).

Great comprehensive video, thanks

This video was exactly what I needed right now. Thank you!

Super useful, thank you so much 🙏🏻

This is exactly what I have been trying to figure out past few days myself. Thanks for breaking it down for me!

Very helpful, thank you!

I tried Vidmuse for a couple music videos and I really liked how it treated the workflow much like a traditional film workflow: treatment, character design, storyboards, video. (you can even put the storyboards on a timeline and make sure the pacing is working)You have to let it chose the video engine on the first generation, but from there, you can go in and really dial in everything.  I'd love to see you guys try using it for a short film

Always the first to comment. Caleb, I never thought you looked like a mixture of Christoph Waltz and Ace Ventura, UNTIL NOW.. no I can't stop seeing it. Big hug from Argentina ! 🚀

Oh wow, I’ve been figuring this out myself lately. Thanks for making it so clear!

Thank you so much for this video!  Just getting into ai for our listings (the moving furniture around the roof effects) and was feeling overwhelmed with so many choices.  You've helped me better understand what is out there.

So many days looking and trying so many AI tools, thanks to your presentation Flow was my last try and OMG, it's simply brilliant compared to so many other I tried, Thank You.

Excellent video.
