Questions
How many Descript media hours does a retake burn?
The checked Descript page meters media hours, not retakes. This calculator treats each retake as another full finished minute: 30 finished minutes at 2x is 60 media minutes, which still fits the Free plan's 1 media hour. Hobbyist is $24/month for 10 media hours, Creator is $35 for 30, and Business is $65 for 40. Annual prices on that page are lower and are not the figure used here.
Why doesn't the ElevenLabs row turn minutes into credits?
The 18 Sep 2026 pricing summary lists Free at 10,000 credits, Starter at $6 for 30,000, Creator at $22 for 121,000, and Pro at $99 for 600,000. It also says paid-plan credits can roll over up to two months. It does not say how many credits one finished minute uses, so this page does not invent that rate and does not add overage.
Does a custom voice or studio avatar change the price?
ElevenLabs, Descript, and HeyGen do not publish a separate clone fee on the checked pages, so the toggle does not add one. Synthesia's checked pricing text puts unlimited Personal Avatars on Enterprise, which is custom, so the toggle moves that row off the $29 Starter seat. The same toggle is Midjourney Stealth Mode: Basic ($10, 3.3 Fast hours) and Standard ($30, 15 Fast hours plus unlimited Relax) leave images public, so Stealth moves the row to Pro at $60 for 30 Fast hours, or Mega at $120 for 60.
How does Runway turn a clip into a monthly seat?
The 18 Sep 2026 pricing page says Gen-4.5 costs 12 credits per generated second. Standard is $15 for 625 credits, about 52 seconds. Pro is $35 for 2,250 credits. Max is $95 for 9,500 credits, with up to one month of rollover. Retakes multiply the seconds first, which is how a 10-second clip at 5x still fits Standard (600 credits) and a 40-second clip at 5x moves to Max (2,400 credits). The page does not publish a Turbo credits-per-second rate, so Turbo is not priced. Max is not a relaxed unlimited plan.
How do Midjourney Fast hours use the minutes box?
One finished minute is one Fast GPU minute. Basic covers 3.3 hours (198 minutes) at $10. Standard covers 15 hours at $30 and adds unlimited Relax image generations, which this sheet does not convert into Fast time. Pro covers 30 hours at $60. Mega covers 60 hours at $120. Unused Fast time does not roll over. Annual billing is 20% lower and is not the figure used here.
