AI video ad cost in Nepal: what you actually pay
The AI video ad cost in Nepal depends on more than the price per video. This guide shows what drives the price, how freelancers, agencies and shoots compare, and what to ask before you pay.

If you are asking what the AI video ad cost in Nepal should be, the honest answer is that the headline price rarely tells you what you will actually pay. Two quotes can look the same and cover very different things. This guide is for owners and marketing leads who want to compare offers properly, spot costs that appear later, and know what to ask before sending money.
What drives the AI video ad cost in Nepal
Whatever the provider, the price usually moves because of the same handful of things. Check each one when you compare quotes.
- Number of videos. Ten short ads cost more than three, but the price per ad is usually lower when you buy more.
- Scripts. Some quotes assume you write the script. Others include a writer who learns your product and your customer first. Good scripts matter more than good visuals.
- Revisions. Ask how many rounds are included and what counts as a revision. A changed headline is small. A completely new idea is not.
- Voice and language. A Nepali voiceover that sounds natural takes more care than an English one. Check this by listening to samples, not by reading a promise.
- Whether the ads are run. Making the video is one job. Setting up, running and improving the Facebook and Instagram campaign is another.
- Ad spend. This is the money Meta charges to show your ad. It is almost never included in a production price.
Three ways to buy, compared
In Nepal, most businesses end up choosing between a freelancer who charges per video, an agency that charges monthly, or a traditional shoot.
A freelancer charging per video is simple to understand. You pay for one finished video and you know the cost. The catch is that one video rarely does the job. Ads wear out, so you will need a new one soon, and each new one is another negotiation. Quality also depends on one person's skill and availability.
An agency charging monthly gives you a steady supply of new ads, which is how Facebook and Instagram advertising works best. The risk is paying for volume you do not need, or for work that is not checked. Ask exactly what you receive each month.
A traditional shoot with a crew, location and editing can look excellent, and for some businesses it is the right choice. But it is a one-off project with a lot of cost packed into one day, and a single result. If you want to test several ideas, a shoot is a slow and expensive way to do it. We compare the two approaches in more detail in AI video vs a traditional video shoot.
Dyangai's own prices
To keep this concrete, here is how we price our own packages. These are our prices only, not a guide to what anyone else charges.
- Creatives, from Rs 25,000 a month: new AI video ads every month, with scripts written for you and every video finished and checked by people.
- Creatives plus ad management, from Rs 40,000 a month: the same, plus we run your Facebook and Instagram ads in your own ad account.
- Growth, from Rs 70,000 a month: everything above, plus follow-up of your leads.
Ad spend is separate in every package and is paid by you directly to Meta. Packages are month to month, and you own your page, your ad account and every video. Motion graphics and explainer videos are priced per project, because each one is different. You can see the details in our pricing section, or read about the AI video ads service.
Hidden costs to plan for
Most surprises come from costs that were never in the quote. Plan for these before you start.
- Ad spend in dollars. Meta charges in dollars, so most Nepali businesses pay with a dollar card from a bank. Ask your bank about the card fee, the exchange rate it uses and the limit it allows, since these can change. Your real ad cost is the spend plus whatever the card costs you.
- Reshoots. With a traditional shoot, a wrong line or a changed offer can mean filming again. With AI production, a fix is usually an edit, but ask whether it counts as a revision.
- Extra revisions. If your quote includes two rounds and you need four, find out the price of the extra rounds now, not later.
- Replacing tired ads. A single video will stop working as people see it over and over. Budget for new ones every month, not once.
If you are still working out how much to spend on Meta itself, our guide to Facebook ads budget in Nepal is a good next read.
What to ask before paying
Ask these questions of any provider, including us. The answers tell you more than the price does.
- How many videos do I get each month, and how long is each one?
- Who writes the scripts, and do I approve them before production?
- How many revisions are included, and what do extra ones cost?
- Does a person check every video for mistakes in the picture and the Nepali text?
- Is ad management included, or is that extra?
- Whose name is the Facebook page and ad account in? Do I keep them and the video files if I leave?
- Is there a contract, and how do I stop?
- What is not included that I will still have to pay for?
A clear provider answers these quickly and in writing. If answers are vague, treat that as information. If you want help judging a provider, our guide on how to choose an AI video agency in Nepal goes deeper.
What to do next
Write down the three or four things you actually need this month: how many new ads, whether you want them run for you, and whether you want follow-up on enquiries. Send that same list to two or three providers and compare their written answers line by line. If you would like our answer, message us on WhatsApp with your list and we will tell you which package fits and what it covers.
