Everyone quotes single-tool prices. Nobody adds up the stack. Set your upload schedule and see what the whole month costs — voice over plus video assembly, with the actual plan you'd need on each platform.
Both cost lines scale with total minutes published, not with the number of uploads — thirty 1-minute shorts and four 8-minute videos are priced very differently.

Cheapest plan on each platform that actually covers your monthly minutes, commercial rights included. Free tiers are excluded — none of them permit monetised use.
Turning a script and stock footage into a finished video. Priced by finished video minutes per month.
InVideo is a strong option for this workflow — it's built around turning a prompt or script straight into an edited video, and it's the tool many faceless channels actually use. But it meters usage in credits that burn at different rates depending on which AI model you pick, and its pricing page never expresses quotas in finished video minutes. Its own example of what a credit allowance buys is measured in image generations.

All paid tiers include unlimited exports without a watermark. We could invent a credits-to-minutes rate to make the table above look complete. We won't — a made-up number is worse than an honest gap. If your workflow is AI-generated footage rather than stock assembly, price it against these tiers directly and budget a buffer, because credits don't roll over.
Going multi-language? Dubbing is billed per output language and can cost more than the entire stack above.
AI Dubbing Cost Calculator → Voice Over Calculator →Only the recurring software subscriptions are counted, because those are the predictable part of the bill. Not included: thumbnails (a designer or Canva Pro), music licensing (Epidemic Sound and similar run $10-25/month), your own time, and hardware. A realistic all-in figure is usually the number above plus $15-30.
Picking a plan for your average month. One video that runs long, or a week where you batch-produce, pushes you over a hard quota — and on most of these platforms quotas don't roll over and overage billing isn't available on new self-serve subscriptions. Size for your busiest month, not your typical one.
Thirty 1-minute shorts is 30 minutes of finished video — comfortably inside entry tiers on both lines. Four 15-minute videos is 60 minutes and often forces an upgrade on the video side. Length drives cost far more than upload frequency does.
