Best AI video generators in 2026
There are many video models now, and they differ a lot. One renders 30 seconds with sound, another makes a five-second clip for a few cents. Here is a comparison of the models on NeuralBox with prices from our catalog.
USD at the Basic rate: $5 = 150,000 tokens. Larger plans make tokens cheaper.

Which one for which job
First decide whether you need sound and how long the clip is. Then look at the price.
How not to overpay
Draft in a cheap model at low resolution. Once the scene works, rerun the prompt in a premium model.
Failed generations are refunded, so you never pay for a model error.
Bottom line
There is no single winner. Use Veo 3.1 for speech, Kling 4.0 or Seedance 2.5 for long scenes, and Seedance 2.0 Mini for tests. More on the AI video generator page.
