Current rate card
| Model and setting | Rate per output second | Five seconds | Maximum duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3, 720p | $0.05 | $0.25 | 30 seconds |
| Wan 3, 1080p | $0.10 | $0.50 | 30 seconds |
| Kling 3.0, 720p silent | $0.168 | $0.84 | 15 seconds |
| Kling 3.0, 720p audio | $0.252 | $1.26 | 15 seconds |
| Kling 3.0, 1080p silent | $0.224 | $1.12 | 15 seconds |
| Kling 3.0, 1080p audio | $0.336 | $1.68 | 15 seconds |
| FLUX 3, 720p draft | $0.06 | $0.30 | 20 seconds |
| FLUX 3, normal 720p | $0.17 | $0.85 | 20 seconds |
| FLUX 3, 1080p | $0.29 | $1.45 | 20 seconds |
FLUX 3 currently costs the same with generated audio on or off. Wan 3 has no generated-audio claim in magicdoor.ai. Kling 3.0 uses separate silent and audio rates.
Worked cost examples
Ten-second 720p concept
| Choice | Math | Quote |
|---|---|---|
| Wan 3 | 10 × $0.05 | $0.50 |
| Kling 3.0 silent | 10 × $0.168 | $1.68 |
| Kling 3.0 with audio | 10 × $0.252 | $2.52 |
| FLUX 3 draft | 10 × $0.06 | $0.60 |
| FLUX 3 normal | 10 × $0.17 | $1.70 |
The aspect ratio does not appear in the current quote formula. That does not make every ratio suitable for every source image; it means 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 use the same rate when the other settings match.
Fifteen-second 1080p delivery
| Choice | Math | Quote |
|---|---|---|
| Wan 3 | 15 × $0.10 | $1.50 |
| Kling 3.0 silent | 15 × $0.224 | $3.36 |
| Kling 3.0 with audio | 15 × $0.336 | $5.04 |
| FLUX 3 | 15 × $0.29 | $4.35 |
These prices compare capability settings, not output quality. A lower rate is cheaper, but it is not proof that a model is faster, more consistent, or better for a creative brief.
What changes the quote
| Decision | Effect |
|---|---|
| Add five seconds | Adds five times the selected per-second rate |
| Switch 720p to 1080p | Raises every model's rate |
| Enable Kling generated audio | Changes Kling from the silent to the audio rate |
| Enable FLUX generated audio | No current price change |
| Enable FLUX draft | Uses $0.06/second and requires 720p |
| Add a starting image | Changes the workflow, not the current quote formula |
| Change ratio | No current price change among 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1 |

Budget for iteration
Every retry is another charged generation:
- Test the prompt or starting image at five seconds.
- Use 720p while checking motion and composition.
- Use FLUX 3 draft when that model and setting fit the job.
- Change one variable per retry so the extra spend produces information.
- Move to 1080p or longer duration after the direction works.
Three Wan 3 five-second 720p tests cost $0.75. Three FLUX 3 five-second draft tests cost $0.90. Three Kling 3.0 five-second 720p tests cost $2.52 silent or $3.78 with generated audio.
Subscription, balance, and reservations
Only active or trialing subscribers can generate video. The base subscription is $6/month and includes $1 in usage credit. Video quotes are paid from included credit or account balance. The full quote appears before a run, and up to three jobs can reserve funds concurrently. Finished videos are private until deleted.
Anonymous visitors to /videos are redirected to sign in. The CTA opens the account flow when needed; it does not promise an anonymous generation.
