Pricing / credit note
Use the comparison as credit guidance, not a guarantee that every setting will have the same final estimate.
The final Veyloom estimate appears in the generation workspace before task creation.
Higher duration or resolution choices can raise credits when supported by the selected public configuration.
Known limitations
- Model behavior can change as upstream provider availability is updated, so short validation renders are recommended before larger projects.
- Credit estimates depend on selected duration, resolution, and generation mode rather than a single universal model price.
- Audio support is model-specific and should be checked on the selected model before publishing a final clip.

FAQ
Which should I choose between Grok and Sora 2?
Choose based on workflow fit, speed tier, audio support, duration options, resolution, and the credit estimate shown before generation.
Are the credits fixed for every prompt?
No. Credits can change with model, mode, duration, resolution, and output count when those settings are supported.
Should I test before a final render?
Yes. Run a short draft first when model behavior, motion stability, or audio support is critical.
