Pricing note
Media.io displays prices dynamically by region; its official pricing page shows no fixed USD amounts in static markup (verified 2026-06-24), so the rows above list the confirmable quota structure (monthly credits, video-generation limits, watermark/resolution policy) rather than dollar figures. The free trial auto-renews to a paid plan after 3 days. FlyAIgh prices in fixed USD on every tier — Basic from $11.99/mo, month-to-month — and shows the exact credit cost before each generation.

Where FlyAIgh wins
vs Media.io
Higher-resolution video-to-video
FlyAIgh's video-to-video runs on Seedance 2.0 at up to 1080p (Pro also does 4K). Media.io's reference-to-video tool generates at 480P. For anything beyond a quick draft, the resolution gap is decisive.
Richer multimodal references
A single generation accepts 9 images + 3 reference videos + 3 audio tracks, versus Media.io’s 9 images + 1 video + 1 audio — more ways to direct style, motion, and soundtrack at once.
A real story layer
FlyAIgh Director turns one sentence into a screenplay, a consistent cast, and a shot-by-shot board with planned cuts. Media.io is a catalog of standalone tools with no script-to-storyboard agent.
Fixed, transparent pricing + model choice
Every FlyAIgh tier is a fixed USD price (Basic from $11.99/mo) with the per-generation credit cost shown up front, and you pick the model per shot across 28. Media.io prices dynamically by region and exports the free tier with a watermark.

FAQ
What's the difference between Media.io's reference-to-video and FlyAIgh's video-to-video?
Both generate a new video from reference inputs using Seedance 2.0. The practical differences: FlyAIgh outputs up to 1080p (Pro also 4K) while Media.io’s reference-to-video tool generates at 480P; and FlyAIgh accepts 9 images + 3 videos + 3 audio tracks per generation versus Media.io’s 9 images + 1 video + 1 audio. FlyAIgh also lets you finish on any of 28 models and wire the result into a storyboard.
How much does Media.io cost?
Media.io prices dynamically by region and does not show fixed USD amounts on its static pricing page (checked June 2026); its free trial runs 3 days, exports 720p with a watermark, then auto-renews to a paid plan. FlyAIgh prices in fixed USD — free to start with no card, paid plans from $11.99/mo, month-to-month — and shows the credit cost before each generation.
Do both use Seedance 2.0?
Yes — both route video-to-video through ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0. FlyAIgh connects to Seedance natively (via Volcengine) and exposes Seedance 2.0 Pro up to 4K, plus first/last-frame and reference modes across its catalog.
Which is better for a story-driven video?
FlyAIgh. Its Director writes a screenplay, assigns a consistent cast, and lays out a shot-by-shot board with planned cuts, so separate shots splice into one continuous piece. Media.io is a collection of standalone tools with no script-to-storyboard workflow.
Does Media.io add a watermark?
Media.io’s free trial exports at 720p with a watermark; removing it and unlocking 1080p requires a paid plan. FlyAIgh does not watermark generations on paid plans.
