Know what an AI video costs

Read the price on any Inflyu tool, tell the three kinds of credits apart, and plan a run so nothing surprises you.

Lesson 2. After it you can: Read the price on any Inflyu tool, tell the three kinds of credits apart, and plan a run so nothing surprises you.
The steps
Step 1
Know what a credit is
A credit is the unit every Inflyu tool is priced in. Each tool has its own price per result. A new account gets 20 credits once, with no card. Verify your email to use them. Google sign-in doesn't count. Free results carry a small mark, and any credit pack removes it from new results.
Step 2
Learn the three kinds of credits and the order they are spent
Your balance is made of base credits, pack credits and gift credits. A run spends base credits first, then pack credits, then gift credits. You do not choose this. It happens on its own when you run something.
Step 3
Read the price on the Generate button
Open Create under Image. The button reads Generate with a credit price next to it, and the price is the one to trust. On Auto it follows the tier you pick, so it can differ from the standard price of one image (2 credits). The line under it says what the run costs and that your result appears in History. If your balance is short, the button changes to a Get credits button and says to add credits. Nothing is charged until you press Generate.
Step 4
Compare prices in the model picker
Click the Model chip in Create. Each row in the picker shows its own price on the right. Models can differ in price, so check the row before you pick. Turning on Enhance prompt adds its own price on top, shown next to the switch.
Step 5
Read a length price in Rebuild
Open Rebuild (the video swap tool). Before you add a clip, a line under Length starts with From and a credit price. Add your clip and each length shows its own price. A free account gets the preview picture first, then one swap video up to 6 s. That video is priced at 21 credits on the ladder, and a free account is charged 20 credits for it, never more than the sign-up credits.
Step 6
Plan a run: cheap try first, then the long one
Where a tool offers a smaller step first, take it. In Rebuild the free preview picture comes before the video. In Create you can run one picture before you run four. In Create video, on models that offer Shots, Break into shots turns a brief into shot cards for 1 credit, so you plan on cards before you pay for any picture or clip. Add up the cards you plan to run, using the prices you read, then check the total against your balance. The pricing page also has a table called What one result costs.
Common mistakes
- Guessing a price from another tool. Each tool prices its own results, so read the button or the tile for the tool you are in.
- Running Count 4 to "see what happens". Each picture is priced, so read the total on the Generate button first.
- Forgetting the add-ons. Enhance prompt adds its price on top of the model price. The button total includes it, so read the total, not just the model row.
- Starting a long video as your first try. Run the smallest step the tool offers, check it, then run the long one.
- Spending free credits before verifying your email. A free account with an unverified email cannot spend credits, and Google sign-in does not verify it.
Limits to know
- 20 free credits once per person, no card: one free video swap up to 6 s, or a 4 s clip plus 2 images. Verify your email to use them. Google sign-in doesn't count.
- A free account makes 2 images and 1 audio clip in total across all tools. The next one opens the pack screen.
- The one free swap video is up to 6 s and uses all of the sign-up credits. Longer or whole-clip swaps need a pack.
- If a run fails on our side, the credits for it are returned automatically.
- Pack prices live on the pricing page. Credits from one-time packs never expire.
What it costs
| Action | Cost |
|---|---|
| Sign-up credits, once per person | 20 credits |
| One image on Auto, standard tier | 2 credits |
| Enhance prompt, added to each result | +1 credit |
| Short video, flat price | 28 credits |
| Voice and audio tools, lowest price (a short text-to-speech clip) | 1 credit |
| Break into shots (Create video, models that offer Shots) | 1 credit |
| Person swap, 6 s, price on the ladder | 21 credits |
| The free swap video (6 s), charged to a free account | 20 credits |

Homework: Read three prices without spending any
Open Create under Image and write down the price on the Generate button, then open the Model chip and write down two row prices.
No credits
Open Rebuild and write down the line that starts with From under Length. Do not add a clip and do not press anything that starts a run.
No credits
Open the pricing page and find the table What one result costs. Pick one result and say which tool makes it.
No credits
Check yourself: You have three prices written down from three screens, and you can say in one sentence which credits are spent first.
Credits and costs: questions
How do credits work in AI video tools?+
You pay for each result in credits. Every tool shows the price before you run it. On Inflyu the price sits on the Generate button, in the model picker rows or on the length tiles.
What does an AI video cost on Inflyu?+
It depends on the tool and the length. A flat-price short video is 28 credits, a person swap of 6 s is 21 credits on the ladder, and longer clips cost more. Read the price on the tool before you run.
Which credits are spent first?+
Base credits first, then pack credits, then gift credits.
Do I get my credits back if a run fails?+
Credits for a run that fails on our side are returned automatically.
Where do I see credit pack prices?+
On the pricing page. This lesson does not list them, so you always see the current price there.
Why can I not spend my free credits?+
Accounts with an unverified email cannot spend credits. Verify your email to use them. Google sign-in doesn't count.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. You can pay as you go: credit packs are one-time purchases and their credits never expire. If you would rather have a steady supply, the monthly Starter, Creator, Pro and Brand plans refill your credits each month, and you can cancel anytime. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
