Recently, the renowned AI video generation platform Caiyun announced the formal end of its completely free service model and introduced a new paid plan. This marks a new phase in Caiyun's commercial operations.
Under the latest policy, Caiyun will provide users with 66 free points daily, approximately enough to generate six videos. At the same time, the platform has launched a limited-time promotional event for a week, offering a 50% discount on all paid plans. Among them, the 1500 yuan package is considered quite affordable by industry insiders.
Compared to its competitors, Caiyun's pricing strategy appears more approachable. For instance, Runway charges 105 yuan per month but only allows the generation of 10 videos, which is relatively less cost-effective.
It is worth noting that with the introduction of the paid model, Caiyun's high-performance model processing speed has significantly improved. User feedback indicates that the video generation time has been reduced to about five minutes, greatly enhancing work efficiency.
This change reflects the evolving trends in the AI video generation industry. As technology matures and operating costs increase, more platforms may adopt similar commercial strategies. Caiyun's recent move could have a profound impact on the entire industry.
