AI Video Credit Decoder
From highway footage to cinematic AI scenes: understand what your subscription really buys. Decode credits, plan a project, and compare providers using the same yardstick—usable video.
01 / Decode your plan
The calculator deliberately uses editable pricing. A model name does not imply a verified current rate.
02 / What does generation consume?
Enter the rate quoted for the exact mode and quality you are using.
Reference label only; enter the matching rate above.
Optional: input video, upscale, audio or processing credits
03 / The real numbers
Includes the cost of attempts that don't make the final cut.
Effective subscription allocationAll monetary amounts in USD. Rates and conversions are illustrative inputs, not live provider quotations. Actual billing, fractional rounding, minimum charges, taxes, credit expiry, and annual plan commitments may differ.
04 / Compare apples to apples
Save up to three scenarios. Each uses its own subscription and generation rates. Lower effective cost per usable second is cheaper under the entered assumptions.
Why credit counts can be misleading
Every provider has its own exchange rate, generation costs, restrictions, and pricing models.
1,000 credits from two providers are not comparable until converted using their plan prices or top-up prices.
Some tools charge per second, some per clip, and others add minimum fees, input-video costs, or quality premiums.
Retries change the cost of finished footage. Compare the footage you can actually use, not just total seconds generated.
