A short-form edit starts at $30, a logo animation at $150, an AI video ad at $100, motion graphics or UI animation at $900 and a SaaS explainer at $1,500. Script help, voice-over, extra sizes, more revision rounds and a rush deadline add to the base. This tool shows an estimated range.
Estimate your budget
This is an estimate. The final fixed price depends on scope and is confirmed in a written quote before work starts.
How the estimate works
The low end is the starting price for the video type multiplied by the number of videos. The high end adds the percentages for the extras you pick. Most projects land between the two. Large packs of short edits are priced lower per video, so the real number for a monthly pack is usually below this estimate.
What makes a video cost more
- Length and number of scenes. More scenes mean more design and animation time.
- Custom design. Original illustration and brand-matched animation take longer than templates and screen recordings.
- Script and storyboard. A clear script saves time later, and writing one adds a planning step.
- Voice-over and music. A professional voice and licensed music are separate costs.
- Sizes and versions. Each aspect ratio needs its own layout and checks.
- Revision rounds. Changes after the animation is built cost more than changes at the storyboard stage.
- Deadline. Rush work means other projects move.
Four ways to keep the budget down
- Write the one-sentence promise of the video before you request quotes.
- Send your brand colors, fonts and logo up front.
- Approve the script and storyboard before animation starts.
- Ask for the main video first, then cut-downs for social, so you do not pay for rework.
