How we rank: AI Video Generators
The Score (0–100) is a weighted sum of the factors below. Each factor is the weighted average of its metrics; each metric is calculated from one published fact. Missing facts score zero, and a service is ranked only when enough of its Score is backed by facts.
A service is ranked only when at least 70% of its Score is backed by verified facts.
Rights & Privacy 30%
Whether commercial use of videos is allowed on a paid plan and on the free plan, and whether you can keep your data out of model training (or it is excluded by default).
| Metric | Rule |
|---|---|
| Commercial use on a paid plan | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| Commercial use on the free plan | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
| Your data can be kept out of training | Yes = 100, No = 0 |

| Metric | Rule |
|---|---|
| Max resolution, px on the long side | Linear from 720 (0) to 3,840 (100) |
| Longest clip, seconds | Linear from 0 (0) to 30 (100) |
| Developer API | Yes = 100, No = 0 |
Price 20%
