What is included, and what is not?
Everything needed to publish a finished video is included, in every style. Three things are not, and we would rather say so up front.
Included in the $200 or $400
A script and message written for your audience, a storyboard you approve, AI-assisted visuals and animation in the style you choose (2D motion graphics, whiteboard animation, character animation with lip-sync, 3D and product renders, product UI, kinetic type or AI cinematic), a professional AI voiceover, your logo, colors and branding, background music, captions, one revision round and an HD MP4 file. A vertical or square version is available on request.
Not included
- Live-action filming: no camera crews, actors or on-location shoots at your office, factory floor or events, and no filmed interviews. We don't shoot, but we edit footage you supply.
- Media buying and campaign management: we make the ad videos; we don't plan, buy, run or optimise the ad spend.
- Human voice actors: voiceover is AI only, with no booked voice talent or celebrity voices.
Choose an agency if you need a live-action shoot, a human voice actor, or a partner to run and buy media for the whole campaign.
How does pay-after-delivery work?
You pay nothing until the finished video is in your hands. There is no deposit and no 50% upfront invoice. Here is the sequence:
- Day 1: brief. Tell us about your business, the video's goal and your audience in a 5-minute form or a 15-minute call.
- Day 1–2: script and storyboard. We send them to you for approval before production starts.
- Day 2–4: production. AI-generated visuals and voiceover are combined with human editing, motion design and your branding.
- Day 4: delivery. You receive the final HD video and can use the included revision round for changes to the script, visuals or voiceover.
- Then you pay. Once you are satisfied, you pay $200 (or $400 for up to 2 minutes) through the checkout in the vpixai client app.
How does $200 compare with agencies, freelancers and AI tools?
A 60-second video can cost anything from a monthly software subscription to five figures. The difference is who does the work and who carries the risk.
| Option | Typical price | Turnaround | Payment | Who does the work |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Video agency | $2,000–$10,000 per 60 seconds | 3–6 weeks | 50% upfront | Full team, after multiple meetings |
| Freelancer | Varies widely with skill and scope; quoted per project or by the hour | Depends on their schedule | Agreed per freelancer | One person; script or voiceover may need sourcing separately |
| DIY AI video tool | Free tiers; paid plans from $19/month (Synthesia Starter) or $29/month (HeyGen Creator), billed monthly | As fast as you work | Subscription | You write, design, edit and check it yourself |
| vpixai | $200 up to 60 s, $400 up to 2 min | 4 days | After delivery | Human writers, designers and editors, with AI |
Agency figures are vpixai's estimate of typical market rates. AI tool prices are as listed on each tool's pricing page on 3 November 2026 (monthly billing; annual billing is lower) and change often.

Why is $200 possible?
Because AI does the slow, repetitive work and people do the work that decides quality. Most of the cost of a traditional 60-second video is hours: drafting scripts, building every frame by hand, booking voice talent and meeting to align on all of it.
At vpixai, AI speeds up scripting, visual generation and voiceover. Our writers, designers and editors handle creative direction, editing and quality control, and every video is checked by the team before you see it. One short brief replaces the kickoff meetings. The scope is fixed (up to 60 seconds or up to 2 minutes, one revision round, an HD MP4), so we can price it once instead of billing by the hour.
That is also why the price is the same for every video type and every style, whether it is 2D motion graphics, character animation with lip-sync or 3D built in Blender. Read more about how our AI-assisted production works, or watch the results in our portfolio.
What about longer videos or several videos?
A video up to 2 minutes costs $400 flat and is still delivered in 4 days, paid after delivery. Videos over 2 minutes and multi-video bundles are quoted on request. Email hello@vpixai.com with the length, the number of videos and where they will run, and we will reply with a quote. Pricing stays simple and predictable.
