How Much Does an Animated Video Cost?

If you’re looking for an animated explainer video, one of your first questions was likely “How much do they cost?” – That’s a great question, although it can be quite difficult to answer, we’ve even written a blog explaining why. You’ve probably noticed most studios don’t advertise prices…

Animated videos can vary in style, complexity and length, all of which can affect the time it takes for our team to create them – which is how we calculate our prices. We always recommend contacting us for a custom quote, or even for a free consultation if you aren’t quite sure what you want.
