Some of the most talked-about names are models, not subscriptions: you pay for them inside another tool.
Seedance
ByteDance's video model. You don't subscribe to Seedance itself: you use it inside other tools, and the price per clip differs a lot between them.
Wan
Alibaba's open video model, offered by several hosts and through APIs. Price depends on where you run it.
Kling 4.0
Kuaishou's newest video model, open to everyone since October 15, 2026: 3 to 30-second clips with sound made together with the picture. Also on Higgsfield, Runway and APIs, at very different prices per clip.
Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash
Google's newest video model (November 5, 2026): clips up to 15 seconds with sound, and you can extend them to 30. On the Gemini API it costs $0.07 per second at 720p, about $0.35 for a 5-second clip. In the Gemini app it is rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers.
GPT Image 2.6
OpenAI's newest image models, Flare (fast) and Sunburst (November 4, 2026). Besides still images they make animated GIFs, editable SVG vectors and PNGs with a transparent background. In ChatGPT on all plans; on the API about $0.03 to $0.05 per 1024x1024 image, from low to high quality.
