About GenCost
GenCost shows what AI video, voice and music tools really cost, in plain US dollars, with prices checked every morning.
Who runs GenCost
GenCost is an independent project run by Bitbooz, a creator who has made videos and content with AI tools for a long time. It started with a simple problem: every AI tool counts in its own credits, many show a crossed-out price or a first-month deal, and none of them tell you what one video clip actually costs. GenCost was built to answer that question honestly.
What you get here
- Every plan in real dollars, both the monthly price and the price when you pay yearly.
- The real cost of one video clip, worked out from each tool's own credits per clip, not from a guess.
- "Watch out" notes on hidden costs: watermarks, credits that expire, intro prices and commercial-use rules.
- Guides and comparisons whose prices update by themselves, so they don't go out of date.
How the prices are checked
Every morning GenCost reads each tool's official pricing page, using a real browser when a page needs one. Every number is checked against the text on the page before it goes live. If a page can't be read, or a number doesn't match, the last confirmed price stays and the tool shows when it was last checked. Prices that are not checked automatically are marked "Entered by hand". You can read the details on how we verify prices and see what changed in the price changes log.
Independent: no affiliate links
GenCost uses no affiliate links. We earn nothing when you sign up for a tool, so there is no reason to push one tool over another. The site is paid for by the done-for-you content packages on the order page, never by the tools we compare.
Privacy
If you sign up for a price alert, your email address and the tool you chose are stored with our host, Netlify, and used only to tell you when that tool's price changes. It is never sold or shared. To be removed, reply "stop" to any alert or email bitbooz@protonmail.com. The site uses Google Analytics to count visits.
Found a mistake?
Prices change often and pages sometimes show different prices in different countries. If you see a price that is wrong, email bitbooz@protonmail.com with the tool and what you see, and it will be checked and fixed.
