Figures are typical ranges in Indian rupees for independent freelancers and small agencies in India, before GST. They are our own estimates, not quotes.
What pushes the price up
Filming days and crew, animation style, voice-over in one or several languages, actors, locations and the number of revisions.
What to know for India
Voice-over in Hindi and a regional language widens the audience at a modest extra cost. Check that the music is licensed, because platforms mute or remove videos that use film songs without permission.
How to compare quotes fairly
Ask each provider to price the same finished length and to list what is included: script, shoot days, editing, music, subtitles and revisions. On VouchQuote every quote follows the same structure and at most three professionals reply, so you can compare them side by side. Quotes on VouchQuote are shown in US dollars.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Is scripting, filming and editing all included?
- How many rounds of edits do I get?
- Who owns the raw footage?
- Is music licensed for commercial use?
