Official per-second list prices from Google, Runway, Luma, xAI and Pika, converted at the 2026-11-10 PBoC mid rate (1 USD = 6.7167 CNY) so they sort against the domestic quotations in the same unit. The USD list price stays in each subtitle — move the exchange rate and the order can shift.
Online models · 20Model APIs and platform workbenches, cheapest first; the 20 online quotes contain no estimates. The 12 open-source models have no per-second price, so their one-time GPU cost (an estimate that may rise) is shown on a separate page.

Overseas vendors Official per-second API
Google, Runway, Luma, xAI and Pika all publish a per-second list price. Google retired the Veo 3.1 preview line on 2026-10-22 in favour of Gemini Omni, so those dead tiers are gone. Figures here come from each vendor’s own pricing page (checked 2026-11); the CNY column uses the PBoC mid rate, not a platform retail mark-up. Subscription-only tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly) and the retired Sora 2 API are not listed.

CNY/sec = official list price ÷ billed seconds; credit platforms = plan price ÷ seconds that tier can produce. Overseas layer = USD list price × PBoC (CFETS) mid rate (currently 2026-11-10, 1 USD = ¥6.7167). Open source has no per-second price — the cost is one-time hardware (GPU estimates, may rise) plus power and time, hence a separate page. Subscription-only tools (Midjourney, Firefly) and retired APIs are not collected; anything computable is computed. The only estimates are the open-source GPU prices, labelled as such and subject to change — check live listings before buying.
How the overseas rows are computed. Official USD per-second list prices × the PBoC mid rate of 2026-11-10 (6.7167) → CNY per second. Runway bills in credits, Luma in 5-second blocks and Pika also sells a membership tier, so your actual bill may differ. A — in the quality column means the official rate is not tiered by resolution. Match the model and resolution before comparing.
