Questions

Straight answers.

Is $49 the entire cost?

The $49 monthly membership includes a $20 Production Balance. Metered production beyond that balance is paid separately at the transparent rate shown before the work runs. There is no additional software fee per video.

How much does one finished video cost?

It depends on runtime, narration length, shot count, image quality, AI video use, and rendering. Longform Studio shows the provider, model, expected wait, and dollar estimate before each paid step so you can change the plan before spending.

What is Production Balance?

It is a dollar-denominated balance for Longform Studio’s metered production services. It is not a mystery credit currency, cash, or a provider-specific token. Your included $20 is added after each paid monthly invoice.

Do I need my own API keys or other subscriptions?

No. Longform Studio manages the research, model, voice, storage, and rendering services used by the production workflow. You see the route and cost inside the project.
