But at the end of the day, it’s still a wrapper around AI video models - and the markup can be huge.\n\nFor example, Seedance 2.5 at 720p costs $0.343 per second on Higgsfield.\n\nOn VideoRouter.sh, the lowest price is just $0.14 per second.\n\nThat’s nearly 59% cheaper for the same model.\n\nAnd it’s not just about price. VideoRouter also provides a more reliable system: if one provider or host fails, we automatically switch to another provider to keep your requests running.\n\nYou shouldn’t have to pay a huge premium just to access the best AI video models.",
