AI ad pricing makes sense only when the deliverables are clear. Compare finished videos, concepts, approval and rights within the same calculation.

Distinguish a tool from a finished ad

An AI tool subscription pays for access to production functions. A finished-ad agreement may also cover ideas, scripts, image selection, editing, sound and quality control. The cost of a generation says little about the cost of a usable video.

Ask what counts as one video. A new opening on existing footage and a new concept with another story can be different production tasks, even when both arrive as files. Also compare who gathers product material and handles feedback.

AI Vidia's published packages

PackagePriceDelivery
Control TestEUR 2,000, one-off10 ad variants for a 14-day test against your reference ad
Pilot SprintEUR 4,900, one-off18 finished videos in a 14-day programme

Brand SystemEUR 18,000 per month90 finished videos per month, up to 60 seconds, plus an agreed character and style system

These are different programmes, not simply quantity discounts on identical work. Check the full terms on the pricing page and clarify your mix of concepts, variants and markets. Plan advertising spend separately.

Use the unit calculation carefully

EUR 8,500 divided by 40 finished videos is EUR 212.50 per video. That is the calculated average within Performance Retainer, not a standalone purchase price or evidence of savings or return. You buy the programme as a whole.

If your team can approve or use only part of the delivery, reassess the requirement. A smaller number of genuinely different concepts may be more relevant than many nearly identical clips. Put a usage plan beside the budget.

Ask about costs beyond the headline

  • Who provides product images, copy and evidence for claims?
  • Which revisions are included, and when does a request become new work?
  • Which formats, lengths and languages are covered?
  • What rights apply to audio, people and other material?
  • Who publishes the ads and pays for their distribution?

Use the same brief to compare offers. A lower quote may suit a strong internal team that can complete the remaining work. It may also require more of your time. There is no general market price for that difference.

Compare two offers without losing their differences

Imagine one offer includes finished videos, scripts and consolidated feedback, while another covers only editing your existing footage. Ask both suppliers to explain how they would produce the same product ad. List the work that stays with your team beside each price.

If you already have suitable footage and an approved story, editing may be enough. If you lack direction and imagery, commission those parts or handle them internally. A cheaper offer is not automatically a worse choice, and a larger package is not automatically more valuable.

Agree how changes work. Correcting a spelling mistake differs from switching products or requesting a new scene after script approval. Confirm the cost and scope of changes before work continues.

This is a hypothetical way to assess quotes, not a description of particular suppliers. After delivery, compare the planned scope with the actual files and your time spent. Use that evidence to choose the next period's volume.

Check the invoice against the agreement at the end. Separate work should be traceable to an accepted change or order. This makes the next quote easier to compare and helps establish whether the original package met your needs.

Choose scope around your next decision

An initial engagement should establish product quality, approval workflow and usability. A monthly agreement should fit your calendar and the campaign owner's test plan when ongoing output is the constraint.

Do not budget for a guaranteed number of winning ads. Videos are the deliverable; sales results require measurement. Use the enquiry form to describe your product, existing material and the number of videos you have a plan to use.

Frequently asked questions

01What is the average price in Performance Retainer?
EUR 8,500 divided by 40 videos is EUR 212.50. This is the calculated average within the package, not a price for an individual order.
02Is advertising spend included?
No. Plan media spend separately. Either AI Vidia or your own team launches the ads and runs the tests, agreed per client. The ads run in your own ad account on your own media budget.
03Does 48 hours mean every video is finished?
No. A first concept within 48 hours must not be read as the delivery deadline for the whole package.
