What should you charge for AI ads and services?
Without Higgsfield: Creators charge $50 to $100 per AI UGC video, usually in packages of at least five, and the market pays about $300 and up for a hypermotion ad, so a first client can be won at $150 per video delivered the same day. For an ad agency the money is a subscription of fresh ads every week at $2,000 a month per client after a $500 first test, while tech and SaaS companies pay $500 to $3,000 for 15 seconds of finished motion.
Axis: one-off project fee … monthly subscription
