Quality not measured yet
We measure models on request rather than pre-scoring the whole catalog, so this one has no score yet. Absence of a score is not a low score.
Where you can buy it
Priced per unit of output, which is how generation models are sold. There is no per-token rate to quote for this model, so we do not invent one.

Compare Happy Horse (image to video) with alternatives
One model per vendor, ordered by how prominent the vendor is and how many independent providers serve the model — hosts only carry what customers ask for, so that is a real demand signal. This is not traffic or popularity data, which we do not have. Every alternative below does the same job — image-to-video generation — because a price comparison between a generator and, say, an upscaler is arithmetic rather than advice. Every alternative below is billed per second of video, the same unit as Happy Horse (image to video) — we do not compare a price per image against a price per second.

Prices are the cheapest host for each model, per second of video. Output resolution, duration and format vary between generation models, so confirm you are buying the same thing before treating a lower rate as a saving. "Quality" is our own probe suite where we have run it — see what it measures. A cheaper alternative is only a real saving if it also passes on the capability your workload needs.
6 of these alternatives cost less than Happy Horse (image to video) — the cheapest being PixVerse C1 Image To Video at $0.03 per second of video (79% cheaper).
Cheaper is not automatically better: confirm the output resolution, duration and format you get for that rate before switching.
Before you switch
A lower rate per unit of output is only a saving if the unit is the same. Check the resolution, duration and format included at the quoted price, whether the host charges separately for higher settings, and what the queue looks like under load — a generation endpoint that takes minutes at peak is a different product from one that takes seconds.

How much does Happy Horse (image to video) cost?
Happy Horse (image to video) is billed per second of video rather than per token, at $0.14 on fal. Prices change often; verify with the provider before budgeting.
Which provider is best for Happy Horse (image to video)?
Cheapest is not automatically best. For a video model, check the output resolution, duration and format each host actually produces at the quoted price, since a lower headline rate often buys a smaller or shorter output. Queue times and rate limits matter as much as price for generation workloads.
Can I switch providers for Happy Horse (image to video) without changing code?
Yes, if you route through an abstraction. VernaOne exposes one API across every provider listed here, so switching host is a config change and you keep automatic fallback if the new one degrades.
