Explainer video prices in Singapore range from a few hundred dollars for a template to tens of thousands for a fully custom animated film. Both ends are real. The question is which level your product and your buyers actually need.
This guide uses published Singapore price guides to show the ranges, explains what drives them, and gives you a simple way to compare quotes.
- Published Singapore guides put a custom 2D explainer of 60 to 90 seconds anywhere from about S$2,500 to S$18,000, depending on the studio tier and style.
- Template animation can cost under S$1,500, but it looks like everyone else’s.
- Style, length, illustration and voiceover drive most of the cost.
- Custom animated explainers usually take three to six weeks.
- Explainers are fully remote work, so the team does not need to be in Singapore.
What an explainer video costs in Singapore in 2026
Singapore studios publish very different ranges for similar videos. That is not a contradiction. It reflects different studio sizes, styles and how much custom illustration is included.
| Explainer type (60 to 90 seconds) | Published range (S$) |
|---|---|
| Template-based animation | 500 to 1,200 |
| Screen capture or product demo | 1,200 to 3,000 |
| Custom 2D animation | 2,500 to 5,500 |
| Live action with a presenter | 2,000 to 6,000 |
| Animated infographic | 5,000 to 12,000 |
| Brand explainer video | 8,000 to 18,000 |
| Product demo or software walkthrough | 10,000 to 20,000 |
These ranges come from price guides that Singapore studios published in 2026. They show what those studios say they charge, not a survey.
Lower ranges often mean a smaller studio, simpler motion graphics and fewer custom assets. Higher ranges often include character animation, custom illustration, sound design and more revision rounds. Ask which one you are being quoted for.
What drives the price
- Style. Flat motion graphics cost less than character animation with lip-sync and detailed backgrounds.
- Length. One studio guide calls duration the single largest cost driver. Most explainers work at 60 to 120 seconds.
- Custom assets. Every illustrated scene, icon or product drawing adds design time.
- Script. A strong script is the cheapest way to a better video. Ask how many script rounds are included.
- Voiceover and music. One guide lists voiceover at about S$250 to S$600 per video.
- Revisions. Extra rounds beyond the included ones are often charged, around S$200 to S$500 each in one guide.
- Rush timelines. Faster than four to six weeks can carry a premium.

Why would a Singapore company hire a team in India?
It is a fair question. There are plenty of studios in Singapore, so why pick a team in Coimbatore you have never heard of? Here are the doubts we hear most from Singapore companies, and our honest answers.
- “Is it cheaper because the work is worse?” No. Salaries and office costs in India are lower, so the same senior work costs less. Judge us on the work and the people, not the address.
- “What if they disappear halfway?” There is no prepayment. You pay against agreed delivery, so the risk stays with us, not you.
- “Will communication be a headache?” One weekly call at a time you choose, replies the same working day, and urgent issues fixed by end of day. Singapore is two and a half hours ahead of India, so calls fit easily into your working day.
- “Who owns the work?” You do. All content, videos, raw files and source files stay with you.
- “We already have a team or an agency.” Good. We can work as an add-on to your in-house team, or alongside your current marketing agency on the parts you need.
- “How do we know it will work?” Start with one small project. If the quality and the results are right, grow from there.
For filming, some shoots, like product, studio or factory work, we can do in India. When you need us on the ground in Singapore, we are ready to work with you directly. We are also planning to open offices in the UAE, Singapore and Australia soon.
If a simple template video is all you need, a template tool or a low-cost studio may be enough. A custom explainer is worth it when your product is hard to explain and the video will sit on your homepage and in sales emails.
Why Hypergrow
We do not want to be one more vendor on your list. We work as a growth partner: we learn your buyers, your sales process and your goals, and plan the explainer video around what it has to do for your business.
- Growth partner, not a vendor. We care about inquiries and sales, not just delivering files.
- No revision limits. One fixed bill for the agreed scope, however many corrections you need.
- Fixed price, no prepayment. Scope and price agreed in writing before we start.
- Flexible ways to work. One project, a monthly plan, or extra hands when your team is stretched.
- Works with your people. We plug into your in-house team or collaborate with your existing agency, with the same business goals.
- You own everything. Content, videos, raw files, source files and accounts stay with you.
- Honest about fit. If a local partner suits your project better, we will tell you.
For the same scope, our fixed price usually lands at about a third to a half of typical local agency rates, agreed in writing after a short call. We price in Indian rupees, so there are no forex markups on our side. At about 74 rupees per Singapore dollar at the time of writing, you pay the rupee amount, so the SGD figure moves with the exchange rate.
