Pricing
Pay per second of video, in credits: 1 credit = $0.01. You see the price of every shot, in credits and in dollars, before you generate it.
Top up from $5 (500 credits). You only pay for seconds you generate; failed generations are refunded automatically.
First top-up doubled: add $5, get 1,000 credits ($10). Once per account.

How credit works
- Credits. 1 credit = $0.01. Balances and prices are shown in credits, with the dollar amount next to them.
- Top up once, spend per shot. Top-ups are paid in US dollars: $5 minimum (500 credits), with $5, $10, $20 and $50 presets. Payment is handled by Stripe.
- First top-up doubled. Your first top-up on an account gets the same amount again as bonus credit: add $5, get 1,000 credits. It happens once per account and only with a top-up; there is no free credit without one.
- The price is fixed when you press generate. Price = seconds × the per-second rate of the resolution you picked. The amount is held while the shot renders and charged when it is delivered.
- Failed generations cost nothing. If a shot fails for a technical reason, the held amount goes straight back to your balance automatically.
- Content rules. If a prompt or image is blocked by content rules, nothing is charged.
- Taste is different from failure. A shot that renders correctly but isn't the look you wanted is charged. That is why each take is priced to make another one easy.
- Unused credit can be refunded on request within 14 days of purchase; see refunds.
Plans (Beta)
- Optional. You can pay as you go with top-ups only. Plans are in Beta and may not be offered on every account yet.
- What a plan adds. Monthly or yearly billing, credits every month, extra credits on top-ups, more videos at once and a faster queue. Some plans include a number of free draft runs a day on a model, up to a resolution; past that a run costs its usual credits. Included runs are not unlimited.
- Prices and amounts are shown on the Plans and credit page in the studio before you subscribe. They may change for future periods; a period you already paid keeps what it was sold with.
- Credit never expires, also after a plan ends. You can cancel any time; the plan keeps giving until the period you paid for ends.
