AI Video Pricing & Product Change Log 2026

A dated audit trail for prices, included usage, model economics and rights—starting with a verified baseline instead of pretending we have history we do not.

Baseline: August 29, 202614 providersCSV + JSON
Integrity rule: this first release is a baseline snapshot, not a list of invented historical changes. When a provider changes price, credits, generation cost or terms, the new event can be appended while the original baseline remains visible.

Why an update ledger matters

AI video pricing pages can change faster than evergreen reviews. A dated ledger separates what was verified on a specific date from what a provider may show later. That makes price comparisons, citations and editorial corrections easier to audit.

This ledger is based on the AI Video Research Dataset, complements the Pricing Tracker and Pricing Benchmarks, and follows our research methodology.

Fields such as not_normalized, unclear or caution are deliberate. They indicate that the available source did not justify a stronger normalized claim.

What this ledger does not do

It does not treat raw credits as cross-vendor currency, infer missing commercial rights, or rank a provider because an affiliate link exists. Affiliate status is retained only as a transparency field in the machine-readable record.
