Why such a wide range? Mostly scope: length, picture quality, whether the cast and scenes are custom-made, the number of revisions, and how long and where you can use the video all move the price. Line up the scope first, then compare the numbers.

2. Six things that move the price

1. Length and format — a 15–30s vertical short is a very different job from a 30–60s hero film with vertical and horizontal versions. 2. Quality tier — a Premium 1080p film with the best image and motion costs more than an Express version with simpler visuals made for volume. 3. Host — a recurring virtual character costs differently from a custom photoreal cast. At Sorae Works, a main character costs a little more than a secondary one for the same service. 4. Volume — one test ad, a 4-ad pack or monthly creative changes the cost per ad. 5. Languages, subtitles and placements — bilingual subtitles, extra language versions and cut-downs for Stories and feed may be priced separately. 6. Usage rights and exclusivity — channels, usage period, category exclusivity or a buyout are usually quoted separately.

Compare revisions too: how many rounds of minor revisions, what counts as a major change, and what extra rounds cost.

5. Seven things to ask before you order

1. Exactly what is delivered (length, number of videos, subtitles, cut-downs)? 2. How many revisions are included, what counts as a major change, and what do extra rounds cost? 3. Where can you use the final video, and for how long? 4. Will AI-generated content be labelled under platform rules — and will AI people ever be passed off as real customers? 5. How long from approval to first draft? 6. Do the ad accounts, final files and data belong to you? 7. Is ad spend extra, and is it paid directly to the platform?

At Sorae Works: Premium and Standard single ads include two rounds of minor revisions and Express one, with each extra round from the third at HKD 300; you get the script and a first version within 3–5 business days; once paid, you can use the final files on the channels agreed in your order; and AI-generated content is labelled wherever a platform requires it.

6. Don't forget ad spend

Production is not the same as media cost. Ad spend is normally billed to you directly by Meta or Google; at Sorae Works it never passes through us, isn't marked up, and is listed separately from our fee. If we set up your first campaign, our Ads launch package recommends an ad budget from HKD 3,000 a month, paid directly to the platform.

FAQ

Roughly how much is an AI ad video in Hong Kong?

It depends on quality, host, volume and usage rights. A single 15–30s vertical AI ad from Sorae Works starts at HKD 680; in Hong Kong public pages we sampled on 11 October 2026, 15–30 second AI ad videos started at about HK$8,000–8,800 (see Sources).

Is an AI ad cheaper than a filmed one?

Not always — it depends on scope. In public web samples from 11 October 2026, filmed + edited Reels reference prices started at about HK$1,610–5,000 (ranges and inclusions differ; not a like-for-like comparison). AI production lets the same budget test more versions, without booking locations or talent.

How long does an AI ad video take?

At Sorae Works, you get the script and a first version within 3–5 business days, then we deliver after your revision rounds.

Will viewers know it's AI?

Yes. Where a platform requires it, we label AI-generated content, and we never present AI people as real customers.

Is ad spend included in the production fee?

No. You pay ad spend directly to Meta or Google, separately from production.
