AI Image & Video Generators Compared (2026): Pricing, Features and Our Test Runs

The facts at a glance

This table answers the basic questions per product: does it make images, video, can you pay in Rupiah or with local methods, is there a free tier, and is there an API. It is derived from the same data as the detailed tables below, so there are no new numbers here.

How we compared

Every row comes from the vendor's own pages: pricing pages, docs, or help centers, checked on 1 November 2026. The links are in the Source column so you can check them yourself. AI pricing moves fast, so the check date matters.

Prices are in each vendor's own currency, not converted. If the vendor lists dollars, we list dollars; if it lists Rupiah, we list Rupiah. Converting would add numbers the vendor never published.

We only show a per-image or per-video price when the vendor publishes one, or when it publishes both the plan price and how many outputs the plan includes. For the second case the arithmetic is in the notes below. Some vendor pages blocked our automated check; those values say "not published", never an estimate.

Table cells are quoted as the vendor states them.

We didn't score image or video quality. Taste is subjective, and one prompt doesn't represent a model. Anoman Studio sells at the model provider's price plus a margin, and shows the price before every run.

Arithmetic and notes from the vendor pages:

• Midjourney — Plans are sold as GPU time (Basic: 3.3 h of Fast GPU time a month), not per output.
• ChatGPT / GPT Image — Sora discontinued: app on 26 Apr 2026, API on 24 Sep 2026 (OpenAI Help Center).
• Gemini / Flow / Gemini API — Rupiah plans: AI Plus Rp75.000, AI Pro Rp309.000, AI Ultra Rp1.579.000 or Rp3.399.000 a month (gemini.google/id).
• Adobe Firefly — adobe.com plan pages blocked our automated check on 2026-11-01, so no price is shown. Images and video per Adobe's Feb 2025 announcement.
• Runway — API credits cost $0.01 each: Gen-4 Image Turbo 2 credits per image, Gen-4.5 12 credits per second (docs.dev.runwayml.com).
• Kling — Standard $8.80 ÷ 660 images = $0.0133; $8.80 ÷ 33 720p videos = $0.267, video length not stated (kling.ai).
• Higgsfield — $9 ÷ 60 Nano Banana Pro generations = $0.15 (higgsfield.ai/pricing). Prices exclude VAT.
• Ideogram — Video costs are shown in the app (Settings, Usage costs).
• Canva — Canva Pro Rp95.000/mo or Rp769.000/yr. Video generation not shown: canva.com help pages blocked our automated check on 2026-11-01.
• Pika — Starter $10 ÷ 27 Wan 3.0 720p 5 s videos = $0.37 (pika.art).
• Luma — Plus $30 for 10,000 credits = $0.003 per credit: Seedream 4.0 1K is 1 credit, Ray3.14 720p 5 s is 100 credits (lumalabs.ai).
• Videfly — Output counts per plan are given as approximate (±), so no per-output price is derived.
• Kreatif AI — Rp25.000 ÷ 10 product photos = Rp2.500 (kreatif.ai). 10 credits also equal 3 ad videos or 5 Studio videos; video length not stated.
• AIport (aiport.id) — Per-model IDR rates are shown in the dashboard after sign-up.
• Mivo — Images from 3 credits and video from 9 credits per second; Rupiah per credit is not shown on the page.

Image generators: prices and features

This table lists every product whose vendor pages say it makes images. Most tools sell credit or GPU-time subscriptions rather than a per-image price, so the per-image column often says "not published". That isn't an omission; the vendor just doesn't list one.

The Anoman Studio rows at the bottom are refreshed from our catalog every hour, so they don't go stale. The full list is on our model & price list, and calling them from the API is covered in the docs.

Video generators: price, length and audio

Video is harder to compare on price. Some vendors charge per second, some per clip, some through subscription credits, and resolution, length and audio all move the price. So read the per-video column together with the settings in brackets.

The Anoman Studio rows list no per-second price: video is priced per clip, and Studio shows the exact Rupiah price when you pick the model, length and audio.

What changed this year: Sora and the Veo preview

OpenAI discontinued Sora: the app and web experience on 26 April 2026, the API on 24 September 2026 (OpenAI Help Center). That is why OpenAI appears only in the image table.

On the Gemini API, Google's deprecations page lists the three Veo 3.1 preview models (veo-3.1-generate-preview, veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview and veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview) with a shutdown date of 22 October 2026 and gemini-omni-1.1-flash as the replacement (Gemini API deprecations). Google describes that as the earliest possible shutdown date, not a confirmed one.

Veo 3.1 itself is still listed on the Vertex AI pricing page (Vertex AI pricing). If your code still calls those preview model IDs, now is the time to migrate.

Paying from Indonesia: Rupiah, QRIS and the risky shortcuts

This is where a lot of frustration lives. Many global tools bill in dollars through international cards, and Indonesian debit cards don't always go through. The good news is that some vendors list Rupiah prices or accept local methods.

Our test runs: six video models, one prompt

On 29 October 2026 we ran the same prompt, a glass of iced coffee layered over milk, on six video models available in Anoman Studio. We revised the prompt once that day to avoid on-screen text, and all six rows below use the revised prompt.

The numbers are time from submit to job completed, one run per model (n=1). This is not a benchmark: provider queues, time of day and settings change the result, so yours will vary. Resolution and audio also differ between models, so the times aren't like for like. The order follows our manifest, not a ranking. Template samples are excluded.

We didn't measure ready time for images, so there are no image numbers here.

Here is a frame from the Kling 3 Turbo output. You can see the other samples in Explore inside Studio (sign-in required).

Indonesia's rules, and what Studio does

A few facts that matter for anyone making images or video with AI in Indonesia:

• Circular SE Menkominfo No. 9 of 2023 on Artificial Intelligence Ethics, issued 19 December 2023 (JDIH Komdigi).
• Grok — on 10 January 2026 Komdigi temporarily cut access to the Grok app, citing the risk of AI-generated fake pornographic content (Komdigi). On 1 February 2026 Komdigi announced a conditional restoration of access after X Corp submitted written commitments, and said access could be cut again if violations continue (Komdigi).
• AI content labels — on 17 October 2026 Komdigi said it is studying a ministerial regulation on labelling AI-generated content, so that AI developers label the authenticity of the video and digital media they produce (Komdigi). As of that report it is still under study.

What Anoman Studio offers

Images and video are generated at fal, outside Indonesia, under each model owner's terms. The Anoman gateway, account data and logs are in Jakarta.

Facts only, no quality claims:

• A Rupiah balance — top up with QRIS or Virtual Account, no credit card.
• Images and video in one place — several image and video models; the list and prices are on our model & price list.
• Explore and Recreate — browse a showcase made by our team in Explore (sign-in required), compare the same prompt across models, and run a showcase prompt again on the same model and settings.
• Price before every run — Studio shows the exact Rupiah price before you confirm.
• One balance with the API — Studio and Anoman's OpenAI-compatible API draw from the same balance. The image endpoint is in the docs.
• Bahasa Indonesia and English screening — prompts are screened in both languages before they run.

How to start

On the Free plan: up to 5 Fast images a day (50 a month) with a verified email, while the monthly free image budget lasts. One free video draft (Veo 3.1 Lite, 4 s, 720p, no audio) per verified account while the monthly free-draft budget lasts. Other video needs topped-up balance.

The steps: open studio.anoman.io, sign in with your Anoman account (or sign up), type a prompt, pick a model, check the price, and generate. Plan details are on the pricing and Studio pages.
