Hidden Costs Revealed

A bill adds its hidden fees in red, totals up, then your honest price lands.

Payments are non-refundable. See our Terms of service.

A receipt prints line by line; hidden fees pop in marked in red, the total climbs, then a bar lands with the honest, all-in price. A 4 to 10 second clip in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 4:5, as an MP4 on its own or as one scene of a longer launch film. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when a product competes on clear pricing: no setup fees, no card fees, one price.

About this skill

You say

Plan $99 plus hidden setup $40, card fee $12, support $13 = $164; ours "With us: $99, all in".

It said back

The clip is rendered: launch-scene/hidden-costs-bill.mp4. It's 1920x1080 (16:9), 5.7 seconds, 30 fps and about 240 KB. I looked at the settled frame, and the check found no layout problems.

  • Look: swiss, with the default red accent. Say so if you want a different look or a brand colour.
  • Receipt: the receipt prints Plan $99, then Hidden setup $40, Card fee $12 and Support $13, each marked red as hidden. The total reads $164, which matches the lines.
  • Closing bar: it lands with "With us: $99, all in".
  • Title: I added "What you really pay" as the heading; that wording is mine, so change it if you prefer.
  • Brand: I left out the name and logo because you didn't give them. Send them if you want them in the clip.
