An OpenRouter video API alternative: Revana and OpenRouter prices, model by model

The short answer

Revana is cheaper than OpenRouter for Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana, Grok Imagine Video, Wan 3.0, Wan 2.6, Seedance 2.0 Mini and Seedream 5.0 Pro, sells Seedance 2.5 at 1080p, which OpenRouter does not offer, and does not charge for failed or refused jobs. The tables below list only the settings where Revana's price is lower.

• Seedance 2.5 at 1080p: Revana sells it at $0.55 a second. OpenRouter offers Seedance 2.5 at 480p and 720p only.
• Nano Banana Pro: Revana charges $0.04 an image at 1K, 2K and 4K, 70% below OpenRouter's $0.1344 at 2K and 83% below its $0.24 at 4K.

• Failed jobs, one key, agents: on Revana the price is held at submit and released if the job fails or the model refuses the prompt. One key covers every model, there is an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex, and the balance is prepaid from $10 with no subscription.

What a batch costs

The same batches priced on each, both ways round:

Which one fits

OpenRouter adds a 5.5% fee when you buy credits. For a model that is not in the tables above, compare the two price lists before you move it. If you already route chat models through OpenRouter, one bill for chat and video may matter more than the price. Revana fits best when you need Seedance 2.5 at 1080p, Nano Banana Pro, Grok Imagine Video or Wan, or want failed and refused jobs not to cost anything. Each job goes to the lowest-cost route for that model and setting and moves to another route if that one fails.

Switching from OpenRouter

Create a key on the sign-up page, add credit, and send the job to Revana instead. The model name and the input fields are in the docs; for Seedance 2.5 at 1080p the call is:

curl https://api.revana.si/v1/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REVANA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2.5",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "A barista pours latte art in slow motion, morning light through the café window.",
      "resolution": "1080p",
      "duration": 10,
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
    },
    "max_cost_usd": 6
  }'

The response carries a job id; poll it, or pass a webhook, and the finished file's link comes back with cost_usd, the exact amount charged. Agents can make the same call through the MCP server, and the model catalogue lists every model and setting.
