For ongoing video we work on subscription: Launch ($1,499/mo, 4 videos), Growth ($3,499/mo, 10 videos, 48 hours turnaround) and Scale ($7,499/mo, 25 videos). That works out to $300–$375 per video. Every video includes script, storyboard, voiceover and revisions, and is reviewed by a human creative director. For comparison, freelancers typically charge $500–$5,000 per video and traditional agencies $5,000–$50,000+.

Question 2

Question 3

Why does a 3D hero explainer cost more credits than a 2D one?

Accepted Answer

3D animation requires modelling, rigging, texturing, lighting and rendering — each a specialist stage with no 2D equivalent. That is why a 3D hero explainer uses 8 credits, a custom 2D hero explainer 4, and a standard video up to 90 seconds 1.
