Bfl Per-Second Margin Ladder
The Bfl Per-Second Margin Ladder is a framework for agencies to price FLUX 3 video services by mapping output duration and quality tier to client value. FLUX 3 charges per second of output, from $0.06/sec for draft text-to-video to $0.53/sec for full-quality video-to-video. An agency can ladder its own pricing: for a 20-second draft clip, cost is $1.20, but a client might pay $50 for a quick concept test. For full-quality video-to-video, a 20-second clip costs $10.60, yet a client could pay $300 for a polished brand asset. The ladder has four rungs: draft, standard, premium, and full-quality, each with a target markup. For example, a robotics firm needing 100 action-prediction clips per month at $0.30/sec for 10 seconds each costs $300; the agency charges $1,500, yielding an 80% margin. This framework ensures agencies cover API costs, setup time, and client support while remaining competitive against avatar-based tools like Synthesia.
