Choose your plan

That is the fear worth having, and it is what the approval step exists for. Before a single frame renders you see the designed cast and the locked visual style, and you approve them. The same characters hold their faces from the first chapter to the last — which is the thing most AI video gets wrong and the reason it looks generated. Any shot you do not like, describe the change in plain English and it re-renders for 9 credits.

At default animated pacing, an 8-minute video uses around 832 credits before extra references or changes, equivalent to about $16.13 on the Automater monthly plan. The exact credit total is shown before generation. Documentaries and AI Studio models have their own clearly displayed rates.

In an animated film, each story frame, character sheet, or changed shot costs 9 credits. Transcription, narration, subtitles and the final cut are free in that workflow. A minute works out to roughly 104 credits at default pacing; faster cutting uses more images, slower uses fewer. Documentaries have a separate per-minute rate, and AI Studio prices each model separately.

Talking-head and presenter video, where a real face has to carry the screen. Live-action reactions, vlogs and gameplay. If your channel needs a camera pointed at you or at the real world, this is the wrong tool and you should not buy it.

It depends which product. Animated video: no — upload a voiceover of any length on any plan, there is no per-plan minute cap and credits are the only limit. Documentaries, cut from real footage, have a per-plan maximum on the uploaded voiceover: Free 5, Starter 5, Creator 10, Automater 20, Hail Mary 30 minutes, with a 30-minute ceiling on every plan and a 15-second minimum. A documentary is priced at 200 credits a minute of uploaded audio, silence included, and the plans differ only in the longest file they accept — a longer file means trimming it or upgrading. Either way you see the exact cost before anything renders, and if your balance will not cover it you can top up and carry on from where you stopped.

They stay on your balance. Monthly grants and top-ups stack together, nothing expires at the end of a cycle, and nothing is taken back mid-cycle. If a render fails, the credits return to your balance automatically — no ticket, no email.

Yes, from Settings. An upgrade applies straight away: you pay only the price difference, the extra credits arrive immediately, and your monthly cycle restarts that day. A downgrade, or a switch between monthly and annual, takes effect at your next renewal, and you can undo it until then. Cancelling stops renewal at the end of the period you have paid for; you can resume any time before then. Your credit balance stays yours either way. Current subscribers keep their original price and allowance unless they choose to switch.

You pay the annual price once per year and receive the full annual credit allowance up front after your payment is confirmed. The monthly equivalent is for comparison; it is not a monthly payment or a separate monthly credit delivery.
