How much does a branded AI video cost?
At Ryze AI Studios, all three offers (brand film, continuous content, brand character) are quoted on request : the site publishes no price list. The studio does not publish its pricing method. In practice, the work to be priced depends mainly on six things: format, length and number of shots, characters, cadence, variants and usage rights. The quote sets out the formats, timelines and rights in writing before the first render.
Why is there no single rate?
Because two videos of the same length can require very different amounts of work. A fifteen-second reel with a single set and a single character has nothing in common with fifteen seconds of period film in cinema format. The price follows the actual work: writing, art direction, generating and selecting shots, editing and sound.
Here is what the studio currently publishes about its three offers. None of them shows an amount.
| Offer | What it is for | What is included | Listed rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| The brand film | A flagship ad or launch film, designed for the big screen and then adapted for each network. | Script, storyboard and art direction. Cinema-grade renders, editing, sound design. 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 21:9 variants. A/B versions for campaigns. | Custom quote |
| Continuous content | A monthly production for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and LinkedIn. | Editorial calendar and tested hooks. Ready-to-post reels and shorts. Ad variants for Meta and TikTok Ads. Monthly performance report. | Subscription, quoted on request |
| The brand character | A recurring, AI-generated face that embodies the brand. | Character creation and identity bible. Signature voice, gestures and outfits. Talking-head and lifestyle videos. | Custom quote |
What makes the price of an AI video vary?
Some of these factors appear in the site's configurator (goal, format, style, cadence). The quote then sets the formats, timelines and rights. The more precisely you state them in your request, the more accurate the figure will be first time round.
| Factor | Why it affects the price | What to specify in your request |
|---|---|---|
| Format and variants | Each ratio (9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 21:9) requires reframing and sometimes reworked shots. | The target networks and the number of versions. |
| Length and number of shots | Each shot is written, generated, selected and then edited. The more shots, the more work. | The desired length and pace (short or long shots). |
| Characters | A character who returns from one video to the next needs an identity bible to stay the same. | Recurring character or not, real or fictional face. |
| Style | Epic cinema, brand character, imaginary world or natural UGC: the complexity of the renders changes. | Two or three visual references you like. |
| Pace | A one-off production or a monthly series. The configurator offers one production, or 4, 12 or 30 videos per month. | The realistic monthly volume for your team. |
| Sound | Voice, music, subtitles and mixing are part of the edit. | Languages, voice-over or not. |
| Revisions | You approve the script and storyboard before any rendering, which limits costly revisions. The site does not publish the number of revision rounds included. | Ask for that number to be stated in the quote. |
| Usage rights | The quote specifies the media, duration and territories. An international paid campaign does not involve the same commitment as a post on a single account. | Where, for how long and on which media the video will be shown. |
To give a sense of scale for the work, not the price: the film “Sept Vies”, produced by the studio for a private commission, has 263 generated shots, seven recreated eras and a 2K master screened in a cinema.
What does the site's calculator work out?
The calculator does not give a price. It turns a cadence into a volume, then applies your own sales figures. You set three sliders: videos per month (1 to 60), formats per video (1 to 4) and networks fed (1 to 6).
- Files delivered per month = videos × formats. With the default settings: 12 videos × 3 formats = 36 files.
- Posts per month = videos × networks. By default: 12 × 4 = 48 posts per month, or 576 per year.
- Estimated return : you enter your views per post, your click-through rate, your purchase rate and your average order value. The result comes only from these figures.
The site states it plainly: this simulation is neither a forecast nor a guarantee of results. It helps frame a volume before requesting a quote.
AI video or traditional shoot: where does the budget go?
The two do not spend money in the same places. We do not publish a costed comparison, because it would depend on each project. The difference in nature, however, is clear.
| Item | Traditional shoot | AI production |
|---|---|---|
| Before | Writing, location scouting, casting, location permits. | Brief, script and storyboard approved by you. |
| During | Crew, equipment, locations, travel, weather and dates to coordinate. | Shot generation, choice of model for each shot, human selection. No camera, no set, no casting. |
| After | Editing, color grading, sound. | Editing, color grading, music, voice, subtitles. |
| Changing the set | A new location, so a new shooting day. | A new shot to generate. |
| Showing a real person | Natural: that is its strength. | Possible from photos, with the person's consent. |
The cases where a shoot is still the best choice are detailed in our comparison shoot, AI or hybrid.
How do you get an accurate quote?
- Fill in the configurator. Goal, format, style and cadence: the call sheet fills itself in.
- Send it with your idea. Product, target networks, release date. If you want a quote in Swiss francs, say so.
- Scoping call. The studio clarifies what the video needs to do: sell, launch, recruit or get people talking.
- Written quote. Formats, timelines and usage rights (media, duration, territories).
- Script for approval. Nothing is generated until you have said yes to the script.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 15-second AI video ad cost?
There is no fixed published price. Fifteen seconds can hold three simple shots or ten cinematic ones, with one or four variants. The studio prices the work once it has your format, your style and your channels. The amount is set out in the quote before work begins.
What does an AI brand ambassador or virtual influencer cost for a brand?
The “brand character” offer is quoted on request. It covers creating the character, its identity bible, voice, gestures and outfits, then talking-head and lifestyle videos. The cost depends in particular on how many videos are then produced with that character.
How long does it take to produce an AI video?
It depends on the format and the number of variants. The studio does not publish a standard turnaround: the timeline is set in the quote, before work begins.
Are revisions included in the price?
The script and storyboard are submitted to you before any rendering: that is where most corrections happen. The number of revision rounds after delivery is not published on the site. Ask for it to be written into the quote.
Who owns the videos once they are paid for?
Usage rights are spelled out in black and white in the quote: media, duration and territories. Read that line carefully if you plan paid advertising or distribution outside Switzerland. For the legal framework, see our guide to the rights and disclosures of an AI video.
Is a monthly subscription cheaper than a one-off video?
The studio does not publish a comparison. The “continuous content” subscription meets a different need: an editorial line, a calendar and videos every week. Enter your cadence in the configurator to receive a tailored quote.
