Honest defaults
- Kling 3 — included in plans; a reasonable default for marketing and UGC if you do not need Google’s look.
- Veo 3 Fast — premium per video. Pick it when the brief is “Google cinematic” and the extra fee is acceptable. fal.ai may still be cheaper if you only run Veo at low volume.
- Seedance 2 — included; typically among the faster catalogue entries. Use it for iteration, then switch the model key for finals.
Same REST shape for all three: POST /generate then poll status. Cost at 100 / 1,000 / 10,000 videos: calculator.
