Pricing? I'd like to use something like this to do an animated version of one of my books, but I'd want to be able to add music and obviously voices. I don't need lip sync since I'm looking for more of a video of a scene, perhaps with a character or two in that scene but not actually trying to fully animate them.

To do that I figure I would need about 5-6 minutes of video per chapter (perhaps less with some looping), and the ability to DL the video or otherwise export it (assuming I can upload my other media into your Composite tool) to put on YT or the like. And would probably want to lose the watermark in that case as well.

Eggnog is free to use. And that is a cool use case! You can download the videos right now, but they do have a watermark. In the new-term future, you will be able to host the videos directly on Eggnog without a watermark.
OK, but if I want to put it on YT will I be able to? Or is the model that you are trying to drive traffic to your site rather than provide video generation?

If so, then what is the plan (if any) to monetize for creators?

Yes, you can put the videos on YouTube. The video will have the Eggnog watermark, but once you download it, you can do whatever you want with it. In face, we hope you put it on YT, TikTok, or anywhere else. We do want to drive traffic to our site, but in the early days, we don't have much traffic to offer to creators, so we want creators to share where their audience already is.
