What this leaderboard ranks
This leaderboard ranks AI video generators by combined quality. Penny Owl blends the matching results from three organisations — Artificial Analysis, Arena and Design Arena — giving each one equal vote, then sets the ranking beside a price for 60 seconds of generated video at 480p, 720p and 1080p, with native audio included. A model only appears once Penny Owl's listed aggregators actually sell it, so every row is something you can buy today.
Prices compare 60 seconds of generated video (a minute may be several shorter clips), with native audio, at each resolution tier.

What makes it special
Video is the only leaderboard with a People's Choice board beside it: thousands of real opinions read from Reddit and Hacker News, scored separately so popularity never moves the quality rank. It is also where the widest price gaps on Penny Owl live — the same model at the same resolution can cost several times more at one seller than another.
What it is good at
Picking a video model for a real job: choose the quality you need, then read across the row to the cheapest seller at your resolution instead of paying the first price you find.
The three leaderboards, side by side
Compare all aggregators →Same rules on every board: one equal vote per organisation, at least two organisations to rank, and price never changes a quality rank. Bar length is relative to the strongest board on that line.
Counts are calculated from the same catalog as the charts, at page render. A wide spread is not a quality score — it is how much the sellers disagree about price.
