The short answer
On 15 October 2026 prices Higgsfield is cheaper per clip for Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 and Seedance 2.0, and it makes characters talk (Lipsync Studio, text-to-speech, voice cloning), which AIGE does not. AIGE is cheaper to start ($8.55 against $19), gives back the money for unused credits within 14 days of any payment, renewals included (outside the EU, the EEA and the UK, less Stripe's card fee), and quotes every run's credit cost before it starts.

Monthly plans: price, credits and the price of one credit
Higgsfield also sells larger Ultra tiers, Team and Scale seats and a $0 tier with limited use, and runs first-month discounts. A credit is not the same unit in both studios: compare what a clip costs, below.
What one clip costs in each
Per clip, at 15 October 2026 prices
Higgsfield's credits are its pricing table's per-5-second (Veo: per-4-second) figures doubled; the table marks them approximate, does not say whether sound is on, and its plan picker quotes about 14 credits for 8 seconds of Kling 3.0 at 720p, more than the table implies. AIGE's rows are with sound. Neither Starter plan runs these jobs: AIGE Starter's clips stop at 5 seconds on Kling and Seedance 2.0 Fast, and Higgsfield Starter has no 1080p Kling, no Veo 3.1 and no Seedance 2.0.
At these prices Higgsfield is cheaper per clip on every job in the table, by a wide margin on Kling. AIGE prices every model above the vendor's own API price; Higgsfield's Kling credits come in below it.
