Founder and chief editor of Aliteq (a PC hardware shop from 2019, now a US-based publication). I research the questions people actually ask, check every claim against the vendor's own pages, and write down what I'd choose and why. I use the cloud-GPU and AI-video services I write about.

Night line-art stopwatch next to the headline: One AI video clip, app, API or a rented GPU? A card reads: Wan 2.2, 5 s clip, 24 GB GPU, 71 s with the Lightning LoRA.

AI video cost per clip: an app, an API, or a rented GPU? (And what's legal in the US)

I read the Reddit threads, the licences and the price pages so you don't have to. What one 5-second clip really costs in Higgsfield, through an API, and on a rented RTX 4090, plus the MiniMax H3 licence line almost nobody mentions.
