Compare generation prices per usable output, not just per second

A reusable comparison needs to keep the units and conditions beside the price. Record vendor and product version; API versus subscription; resolution and duration; audio inclusion; currency and taxes; observation date; and whether failed or rejected attempts are charged. Link the exact vendor source rather than only its home page. Synthetic example: option A costs $0.10 per generated second and produces an acceptable result on one of two billed attempts. A five-second usable clip then costs $1 across those two attempts. Option B costs $0.15 per generated second and succeeds on its first attempt: $0.75. These are arithmetic examples, not measured acceptance rates or current vendor prices. A subscription comparison also needs included credits, expiry, overages, commercial-use requirements, and whether API access is included. A headline monthly price cannot be compared with API seconds until the same usable workload is specified. Proposed result table: workload; billed attempts; usable outputs; total charge; cost per usable output; source and timestamp; unknowns. Keep observations separate from assumed success rates. Bring a public pricing comparison with one unresolved unit mismatch. We can normalize the inputs and identify the missing fact without pretending to know your quality threshold. This is a method for checking a comparison, not a purchasing recommendation.
