To be clear: Sora is not available on RelayMe today. This page compares the four video models you can run right now in one no-code workflow, so you can pick a replacement by price and feature rather than by name.
Sora is not available on RelayMe today and is not listed as a selectable model. What you can run right now, in one no-code workflow, are four production video models: Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast from Google, Grok Imagine from xAI, and MiniMax-H3, from 120 credits per second (about US$0.12) with 4K or 2K tiers, native audio and image references. The table below compares them on the same credit prices so you can swap the shot you had planned for Sora.

Credit prices come from the same live model list as the pricing page USAGE table; 1,000 credits is about US$1.

Dated example (August 2026): a 4-second 720p image-to-video ad chain with audio on Veo 3.1 Fast, seeded by a 20-credit Nano Banana product image, cost 620 credits in total, about US$0.62.
The tables compare settings and costs, not measured visual quality or speed. In one product-image-to-video run on 2026-08-25, the Nano Banana special channel generated a 1:1 product image for 20 credits in about half a minute. Veo 3.1 Fast then generated a 4-second, 720p, 16:9 clip with audio for 600 credits in about a minute. The total was 620 credits. This is one historical observation, not a current quote or a cross-model performance result.
Read the workflow and test context
For your own comparison, keep inputs and prompts fixed and record the model, channel, settings, date, actual credits and elapsed time. Evaluate cost calculations separately from generated results.
If your plan was prompt → clip → review, rebuild it in RelayMe as Text node → (optional Gemini prompt rewrite) → the video node of your choice → task history with credit cost. Put two video nodes on the same prompt to compare them in one run.
Every model bills in RelayMe credits, free to start with no credit card. The lineup changes over time; the pricing page lists what is selectable today.
No credit card required · 1,000 credits ≈ US$1
Not at the moment. Sora is not in RelayMe’s selectable lineup. The pricing page lists what is selectable today: Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, Grok Imagine and MiniMax-H3.
The lineup changes as providers open access. We add a model only when we can bill and deliver it reliably, and we do not announce dates; the live list on the pricing page is the source of truth.
MiniMax-H3 at 120 credits/sec for 768P, about US$0.96 for an 8-second clip; its 2K tier is 200 credits/sec.
Veo 3.1 is the flagship in this lineup, with 4K and native audio at 400 credits/sec. Tune the prompt on Veo 3.1 Fast first (150 credits/sec), then render the final on Veo 3.1.
Yes. Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Grok Imagine let you choose whether to generate an audio track (Veo is cheaper without audio, Grok costs the same either way); MiniMax-H3 always includes one.
