AI Video API Provider Comparison
Pick the provider by the bottleneck: capacity first, model coverage second, price third. This comparison is deliberately narrow: the three universal platforms, their throughput limits, their model coverage, and the prices you can actually verify.
Capacity and rate limit sources checked April 20, 2026. Pricing cells show verified or reported provider evidence with verification status kept visible.
Provider decision
Read this as a shortlist order, not as four equal choices. The right provider depends on whether your blocker is coverage, published capacity, or developer speed.
Start here when you need one broad provider to test serious models.
Check this when throughput is the buying problem.
Use it when developer workflow and model discovery are the priority.
Provider capacity
The important number is different for each platform. FAL.ai publishes self-serve concurrency growth, WaveSpeed publishes account level throughput, and Replicate publishes API request limits rather than a universal video concurrency number.

Universal platform model matrix
This table intentionally removes single-vendor API columns. Each row is a high-demand model, and each provider cell links to the best available source. If a provider lists the model but does not expose a normalized per-second price, the cell says so instead of pretending it is unavailable.

Most readers need a provider decision first. Use the exports for audits, outreach, and spreadsheet checks when you need every provider row behind the visible comparison.
