What an explainer video costs

Style drives the price more than length. A drawn character that moves convincingly is the most expensive second in the film. All prices excluding VAT.

    5.0 out of 5 from 21 Google reviews. In Wiesbaden since 2011, we usually reply the same day.

    All amounts net. The calculator gives a guide price, not a binding quote. For a fixed quote tell us the date, the location and what the film has to achieve, we usually reply the same day. By phone: +49 611 90067225.

    Additional language versions cost 400 to 800 euros each, because only the voice-over and on-screen text change, not the animation. Planning several languages from the start saves noticeably.

    Why explaining alone is not enough

    Anyone watching an explainer video today has already seen a thousand films. The eye is calibrated to cinema quality. A video that only explains gets clicked away before the actual message arrives.

    So we build every explainer as a small story: a problem the audience recognises, a solution, proof, a next step. Only that arc keeps someone watching to the last second.

    We write the script. You supply the expertise, we translate it into language someone understands who is seeing your product for the first time. That takes about an hour of your time, no more.

    How an explainer video is made

    Six to eight weeks for a 90-second film. Express delivery in three to four weeks for a surcharge.

    01

    Briefing and script

    One conversation about product, audience and goal. Then we write the script, around 120 words for 60 seconds, written to be spoken rather than read.

    02

    Storyboard

    Every scene as a still image before any animation starts. Misunderstandings surface here, while changes are still free.

    03

    Production

    Illustration and animation, or a shooting day. In parallel we record the voice-over, optionally with a fixed voice for all your future films.

    04

    Finishing

    Sound design, music, colour. Two rounds of revisions are included, then delivery in every format and length.

    When the video meets a legal requirement

    Some of our explainer videos are not made for marketing. They exist because a regulation calls for training that can be evidenced. That changes the work. The film has to cover the subject in full, it needs a clean version history, and it has to hold up in a record with a date and a version.

    The content is agreed with your legal department or your adviser. We deliver the production, not legal advice.

    NIS2 staff briefing

    Under the German implementing act, management at affected companies has to be trained, and the training needs to be evidenced. A short film reaches every site at once and can be documented. In the Rhine-Main region we shoot on location, including inside plants and server rooms.

    AI literacy under the EU AI Act

    Anyone deploying AI has to make sure their people are competent to use it. We build AI systems ourselves, from local models to automated production pipelines. It shows in the film, because the examples come from practice and not from a template.

    DORA in financial services

    Banks and insurers need regular training on ICT risk. Approval routes and outsourcing rules make the production more involved than a commercial. We have worked for regulated clients for years and set the review process up accordingly.

    Tell us which regulation you are up against and how many people need to see the film. You get an estimate of scope and price, usually the same day.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do you write the script or do we?

    We do. You are the subject expert, we are the storytellers. After a briefing of about an hour you get a first draft, and after one or two rounds the text is final.

    How long should an explainer video be?

    60 to 120 seconds. Anything longer loses viewers without explaining more. If there is more to say, we build several short modules rather than one long film.

    Can we update the video later?

    Yes. We archive the project files for two years. In animation, text, figures and individual scenes can be swapped from 300 euros. A new voice-over starts at 200 euros.

    What does another language version cost?

    400 to 800 euros per language. Only the voice-over and on-screen text change, the animation stays. Tell us early if several languages are planned.

    Can you work from our CAD data?

    Yes. For 3D visualisations we work directly from construction data. That saves modelling time and keeps the result technically correct.

    Which formats do we receive?

    16:9 for website and YouTube, 9:16 for stories and TikTok, 1:1 for feeds, each with and without subtitles.

    Still possible this year

    An explainer video takes six to eight weeks from the first conversation to delivery. If the film is meant to be online for the Christmas season, the script needs sign-off by mid-October. After that, express production in three to four weeks stays open for a surcharge. Tell us your target date and we will hold a slot.

    Planning an explainer video?

    Describe in three sentences what needs explaining and to whom. We usually reply the same day with a fixed price.
