How we rank
We keep plans that include what this goal needs (needs video generation), then sort by where the plan's best included model ranks on Arena Text-to-Video, and break ties by price. One plan per provider in the picks. Nothing is blended. Where a provider doesn't say which plans include a ranked model, we say so. Prices come only from providers' own websites. Methodology.
