What it costs

What a run costs on Leap

A new account comes with $2 of credit and no card. The table shows each model's cheapest run and about how many the credit covers. After that you add credit and pay per run, and a run that fails costs nothing.

Model	From	What $2 makes
Veo 3.1	$0.88for 4 s	About 2 clips
Kling 3.0	$0.92for 5 s	About 2 clips
Seedance 2.5	$0.60for 5 s with sound	About 3 clips
Hailuo 2.3	$0.31for 6 s	About 6 clips
PixVerse V6	$0.028for 1 s	About 72 clips
Wan 2.6	$0.55for 5 s	About 3 clips

Each price is one run at the model's lowest-priced settings, from the live catalog. Larger sizes, longer clips and sound cost more, and the studio shows the exact price before every run. How pricing works.
