It's for 30 FPS. And only up to 1080p.

> Up to 30 fps: Base price

> 30-60 fps: Base price × 2

> 60-90 fps: Base price × 3

That pricing looks very much "what it costs to run the service, plus some profit margin".

A service run by anyone with any business acumen will charge what customers will pay, modified for benefits that customer brings the company (like referrals, bigger revenue leading to a higher company valuation, etc.).

None of that depends on the frame rate or resolution.

Video processing tools in the cloud very regularly use frame rate and resolution as pricing inputs, similar to GB with storage solutions
I'm guessing the OP aims at professional, high-quality video editing rather than at a hobby use. Which is probably the right thing to do as there are low-quality free options already. Hard to compete with that.
Wouldn't somebody doing professional video rather use a green screen instead, though?
