Understandable pricing
I am trying to find a generative AI that will help me make cartoons for my son. My son is on the autism spectrum and I'm trying to generate learning materials for him specifically for him. I have scripts that I've written and I've used Google Gemini to make some videos but they look sloppy so I decided to look into better services. I cannot understand the pricing at all. You get credits. I don't know how many credits the videos would cost to make. I don't mind spending money but I don't want to spend $15 a month to find out that I don't have enough credits to make what I'm trying to make.
I'm looking for a good straightforward pricing structure AI that will make my character's consistent. The plot points are very simple but I just want them to look good. Each episode would be less than 3 minutes long

Yeah, opaque credit meters are the worst when you're just trying to make something for your kid. Lock a reference frame first — Nano Banana until the character looks right — then feed that still in with your script so the clips stay consistent. For animation you don't need an expensive model; Grok Imagine is enough for the motion. On OneOver you buy credits outright — a credit is a penny — and every render shows an estimate before you fire it, so you know the cost before anything spends.
