The context

Explainer video pricing is one of the most searched and least answered questions in the industry — so here are real numbers. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.

What the data says

• AI-assisted productions start near $3,500 and fit simple, single-scene stories
• Fully custom animation runs $5,500–$8,500 for a 60–90 second spot
• Enterprise productions with characters and localization pass $15,000
• Voice-over, music licensing and revisions are usually bundled — always confirm
• Timeline drives price as much as length: rush delivery adds 20–30%

One metric to remember

68% — of teams told us hidden revision fees were their biggest past frustration — fixed-scope quotes remove them entirely.
