In general a better option, in the early days of AI video I tried to generate a video of a golden retriever using Google's AI Studio. It generated 4 in the highest quality and charged me 36 bucks. Not a crazy amount but definitely an unwelcome suprise.
Fal.ai is pay as you go and has the cost right upfront.
Vertex AI Studio setting a default of 4 videos where each video is several dollars to generate is a very funny footgun.
100% agreed. Same reason that I use the OpenRouter API for most LLM usage.
