Sisif

What is Sisif?

Sisif turns a text prompt into a short portrait video clip and sells clips individually rather than behind a subscription. One clip is $1 and covers 5 seconds at 540x960; a higher 720x1280 tier uses more credits per second. A multi-shot story can be planned up to 60 seconds long at $1 per 5 seconds, and you see the storyboard and price before paying. Clips carry no watermark, include commercial use, and can be downloaded as MP4. Purchased credits never expire, and a failed render returns its credits automatically. Most clips are ready in 2 to 5 minutes, rendered on the company's own GPUs. Developers can call a REST API that starts a render and polls its status, or connect an agent through an MCP server, where an agent can pay for a single clip by card without opening an account. Monthly plans start at $10, with Alpha Tester at $10 a month, Starter Pack at $50 and Pro Creator at $200.
