AI Video Research Dataset 2026
A downloadable, source-linked dataset that normalizes the parts of AI video buying that are usually scattered across pricing pages, help centers and terms: price references, credits, free access, commercial-use status and model economics.
Data integrity: we do not fill missing fields with guesses.

Normalization rules
- No cross-vendor credit equivalence. One Runway credit is not treated as equal to one Kling, Pika or Hailuo credit.
- Dated price references. Promotional, annualized and renewal prices stay distinguishable when the provider exposes them separately.
- Rights are plan-specific. Export access, output ownership and commercial licensing are separate questions.
- Affiliate status is disclosure only. It contributes zero ranking points and does not turn an uncertain field into a positive claim.
- Official sources first. Provider pricing, help centers, product documentation and terms take priority over secondary summaries.
