## Method

- Sample: 18 video models (59 prices) and 20 image models (53 prices), every one Kuro offers. Models that refuse a request without a source image, video or audio, such as lip-sync, are left out because they price a different job.
- Dollars are credits at the Growth plan's rate of $0.0233 a credit, the lowest of the paid plans; the highest is 2.5% above it.
- A price per second is Kuro's five-second price divided by five. A 15-second figure multiplies that by 15, in one clip or several since some models cap a clip's length, before Kuro rounds a request's total up to the nearest half credit.
- A model's price at a resolution is its cheapest option there. A median takes one value per model.
- Refresh: every figure and sentence is recomputed from the catalog Kuro charges against on each release. This URL will not change.
