Pricing

What it costs, before you ask

Almost every studio in this field makes you book a call to find out whether you can afford them. Here are the numbers.

Medically reviewed by Dr. Samer ArafaMBBS · MSc Diagnostic Radiology

Projects start at $3,000 for a 30-second piece, and $5,000 for the 60–90 second animation most projects need — delivered in 4–6 weeks from approved script, or two to three weeks for shorter work built from material you already have. The tier depends on how much scientific work sits behind the animation, not on runtime alone — which is why a short molecular piece can cost more than a longer device one. For what the wider market charges per finished minute, and why, see how much a medical animation costs.

Essential

from $3,000

A single mechanism or procedure, where the science is already settled.

  • 30 seconds of finished animation
  • Device deployment, product function or a procedural sequence
  • You supply CAD, reference or an existing description
  • One reviewer, or one consolidated set of comments

For example A 30-second device deployment animation for a trade show loop and website.

Most projects

Standard

from $5,000

Mechanism of action and cellular work, where the science has to be built from your literature.

  • 60–90 seconds of finished animation
  • MOA, mechanism of disease, or a cellular process
  • Science reconstructed from papers, pathway diagrams and your data
  • Reviewed by a small internal team

For example A 90-second MOA animation for a Series A deck, congress loop and website header.

Complex

from $9,000

Molecular-scale work, or projects carrying regulatory and multi-stakeholder review.

  • 90+ seconds, or unusually dense molecular detail
  • Thousands of individually simulated elements
  • Review across marketing, regulatory, clinical and legal
  • Regulatory submission support or congress-grade delivery

For example A 2-minute molecular mechanism reviewed by five stakeholders, delivered in cuts for submission, congress and sales.

Every tier is a “from” price, set at the shorter end of its runtime. A 90-second animation costs more than a 60-second one in the same tier — the per-minute rate falls as runtime grows, because the science and storyboard cost the same either way. The exact number is in the written scope you get back.

Included in every project

Script and storyboard
The science agreed in writing, and the whole animation drawn as stills, before anything is animated.
Two rounds of revisions per stage
At each approval point — script, storyboard, animation. Consolidated comments, not sequential departmental rounds.
Direct access to the people building it
Questions about the science reach someone qualified to answer them, and answers come back the same working day.
Delivery in the formats you need
Standard web and presentation formats, plus a silent cut for booth or waiting-room screens.
A fixed written scope
What is covered, what is delivered, and the date it lands — agreed before work starts.

Quoted separately

Voiceover
Artist fees and studio time vary by market and usage rights. Quoted per project.
Custom music
Library tracks are usually included; original composition is quoted separately.
Additional cuts and localisation
Alternate lengths, subtitled versions and other languages.
Rush delivery
Compressing the schedule means displacing other work, so it is priced per project rather than as a flat uplift.

Why publish prices when nobody else does?

Because the alternative wastes your time and ours. A quote wall means a call before you know whether the budget is remotely in range. If $3,000 is far below or far above what you had in mind, you now know that without booking anything.

What if my project doesn't fit a tier?

Most don't fit exactly. The tiers describe the shape of a project, not a fixed menu — the written scope you get back is specific to what you actually need. Send the brief and you get a real number.

How does payment work?

Split across the approval stages rather than paid up front, so payment tracks progress you have signed off. The schedule is in the written scope before work starts.

How does this compare to the wider market?

Addax’s published tiers work out at $3,300 to $6,000 per finished minute. There is a fuller breakdown of what the market charges and why on the cost page, including why short animations are priced the way they are.
