What does the average animated explainer video cost?

Obtaining a range of prices for an animated explainer video or 3d visualisation can be a lot of time and effort. In 2019 Wyzowl completed a survey of 70 Explainer animation production companies. Each was asked to quote for the same 60 second 2d animated video (a sample video was given to show exactly what was required). The survey results showed that-

  • The average video price was £5,700
  • 70% of studios charged between £2,000 to £10,000
  • The average turnaround time was 5.5 weeks

Explainer videos produced from £250

How much does Offplan3d charge to make an animated explainer video or 3d visualisation render?

Animated explainer video prices

We would estimate following for our video production prices-

60 second 2d animated video average cost- £2,500

60 second 3d animated video average cost- £3,500

If you were buying can of Heinz Baked Beans then quality and quantity would be fixed. Therefore cost would be the deciding factor. However when buying a professional standard animated video, cost isn’t the only factor to consider.

If you are looking for a lowest video production price then using your smartphone, Animaker or Fiverr are the ways to go. But do you really want a video no one is going to want to watch?

Also look out for the ‘budget’ video production companies who just subcontract the work abroad. The chances are illegal software is being used. As well as this they just won’t get the finer points or cultural references so crucial in marketing.

Offplan3d is totally UK based and we will let you know if we are using any outside companies for you work. Voice over artists and video game coders are the only real outside help we occasionally use.

A quote can only be as accurate as the specification

To put it another way, imagine you were buying a new car.

If you asked a car dealer how much ‘a car’ costs, they would probably say from £500 to £250,000. However this isn’t really helpful to you or them.

So clearly you need to communicate some idea of what you want in order get a realistic price. Or ask the dealer to show you cars within your budget range.

Beware stupidly cheap offers. There are fake production businesses who are just there to harvest your company information.

What information does a video production company need to give an accurate price quote?

promotional animated video prices
  1. What’s your budget? There’s no point in us suggesting options that are out of your budget.
  2. What information do you want to get across? Keep it concise.
  3. How long does your video need to be? Video attention spans can be short.
  4. What style video do you want? Having a similar style video in mind helps a lot.
  5. Do you need different versions of the video for different uses E.g website, in store displays or social media.
  6. How soon do you need it?
So for a more accurate price please let us have some sort of ‘brief’ or job description. Call us on 01237 45 23 23 or email the info. Next we can work out some options and costs. If you want to proceed that’s fine but if not we promise to contact you again.

Do you offer a 100% money back guarantee?

The transparent answer is no. From our research and this is the same for all other video production companies, even those offering ‘100% refunds’. Please read their contact small print if you don’t believe us. The best offer you will get is a 100% refund if you don’t like the script. But you have to pay for the job in advance. However once the video goes into the time consuming production stage there is no refund option.

As with any project from building a house to producing a video there is a process. If you want a full description of how our process works and our sign off points please contact us.

Imagine you were building a house. You would start with a description of what you wanted. The architect would then draw up plans and when you were happy with these the building work could begin. After the work was completed you wouldn’t be able to tell the builder they weren’t getting paid because you changed your mind about the plans.
