Vidu · FinOps Profile

Vidu Ai Finops

FinOps view of Vidu API spend. Vidu bills on a prepaid, credit-based model: accounts buy credits (launch base price ~$0.05/credit) and each generation task consumes credits according to the feature (text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, start-end frame, upscale), model tier, resolution, duration, and aspect ratio. A four-second clip costs roughly 4 to 40 credits. Off-peak processing reduces per-task credit cost in exchange for a longer queue window. Cost control centers on choosing the right model/resolution, batching non-urgent work into off-peak, and monitoring the credit burn rate.
