Vidu pricing and quotes

Quotes are estimates. Use the accepted receipt and settled Task charge for reconciliation.

Complete price matrix

Every Vidu credit is billed at 2 OmnAPI credits. At OmnAPI’s $0.002 public quote benchmark, that is $0.004 or 80% of Vidu’s $0.005 dollar list price; your effective cash cost depends on the credit package you purchase. Direct pricing is separate from the Music Video API. Always use /quote; video rates vary by model, resolution, duration, and off-peak selection.

Example: viduq3-turbo, 720p, 5-second image-to-video uses 55 Vidu credits and quotes 110 OmnAPI credits at the standard rate.

OmnAPI credits = ceil(Vidu provider credits) × 2

The tables below show both quantities so you can calculate a request before calling /quote. “Normal / off-peak” values are shown in that order. Vidu bills whole provider credits; formulas that produce a fraction are rounded up at the provider-credit boundary and then multiplied by 2.

The source rate card is Vidu API Pricing. The OmnAPI amount is the public customer charge, not an internal cost figure. The runtime quote remains authoritative if Vidu changes a supported combination.

Q3 image, text, and start/end video

These rates apply per generated second for image-to-video, text-to-video, and start-end-to-video. Q3 Pro Fast is available only for image-to-video.

Q2 video generation

In the formulas below, s = ceil(duration seconds). Q2 off-peak is half of the normal Vidu total, rounded up, and is then converted at 2×. Setting audio: true on Q2 image-to-video or reference-to-video adds 15 Vidu credits / 30 OmnAPI credits. Setting is_rec: true on a supported video operation adds 10 Vidu credits / 20 OmnAPI credits.

Caution

Vidu’s current Text to Speech and Voice Clone rows show $0.05 / 500 characters and $1.50 / voice, but their credit column still uses the old pre-10× denomination. OmnAPI converts the dollar column at Vidu’s current $0.005 / credit, resulting in 10 and 300 current Vidu credits. This avoids an under-authorization; reported actual usage is still used for settlement when available.

For URL inputs, put the known duration in pricingContext.durationSec. OmnAPI does not download or inspect the source to discover its duration.

Video extension and multi-frame

s = ceil(extension or segment seconds). Multi-frame prices every frame-to-frame segment independently and sums the results.

Q2 Turbo extension	540p	10 + 2 × (s−1)	20 + 4 × (s−1)

Film and advertising solutions

General-film and ad-film operations share the same create, edit, and compose rates. ad-film-create uses 15 seconds when input.duration is omitted.

Authorization-cap operations

Some template and character workflows do not have a deterministic public rate. The following four operations require pricingContext.providerCreditCap:

Operation	Authorization	Final settlement
template	providerCreditCap × 2 OmnAPI credits	reported Vidu credits × 2
template-story	providerCreditCap × 2 OmnAPI credits	reported Vidu credits × 2
replace-video	providerCreditCap × 2 OmnAPI credits	reported Vidu credits × 2
digital-human	providerCreditCap × 2 OmnAPI credits	reported Vidu credits × 2

OmnAPI deducts the authorized cap at creation and refunds the unused difference when Vidu reports a lower actual total. The cap is a spend authorization, not a quoted fixed price.

Note

The 1.75 OmnAPI credits / Vidu credit customer contract is restricted to the separate Music Video module’s Vidu OneClick component allowlist. It is not a Vidu-family discount and never applies to any Direct operation on this page.

Response example (excerpt):

  "viduCredits": 55,
  "credits": 110,
  "publicUsd": 0.22,
  "pricingMode": "rate-card",

credits is the OmnAPI amount to authorize. viduCredits explains the Vidu rate-card quantity. publicUsd is a display estimate; your balance and final settlement remain denominated in OmnAPI credits.

For URL-based tools whose price depends on media length, include the known duration without asking OmnAPI to inspect the file:
