# What each video type costs

Each video type has its own cost. A Skeleton Video and a Faceless Video of the same length can differ by ten times or more, because they use different AI models.

The app always shows the exact cost for your settings above the **Generate** button. The numbers here are to help you plan before you get there.

Credits are not the only rule. **AI video clips need an active plan.** Skeleton, 3D Talking Characters and Avatar always use them, so those types always need a plan. Faceless, Medical Animation and AI Music Video need one only when you pick AI Video.

## The two parts of a cost

**Voice.** 30 credits for each minute of speech.

Four video types do not charge for voice at all. 3D Talking Characters, AI Construction Timelapse, and UGC Reaction Hooks do not use a voiceover, and an AI Music Video uses a song instead.

**Visuals.** This is where the video types differ.

## Faceless Video

The flexible one. You choose the visual type, and the cost follows that choice.

| Visual choice | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| AI images, basic | 1 credit per scene |
| AI images, good | 5 credits per scene |
| AI images, premium | 10 credits per scene |
| AI images, max | 20 credits per scene |
| Each of your own photos used in a scene | +3 credits |
| Stock video | 50 credits per minute |
| Background video | 10 credits per minute |
| AI video clips, basic | 5 credits per second |
| AI video clips, good | 10 credits per second |
| AI video clips, premium | 26 credits per second |
| AI video clips, max | 30 credits per second |
| Avatar | 480 credits per minute |

A video has about one scene every three seconds, so a minute is roughly 20 scenes.

---

## Medical Animation

Same costs as a Faceless Video: the AI images and AI video rows in the table above apply as they are, plus the voice at 30 credits per minute. There is no stock option for this type. A one minute Medical Animation with Basic AI images costs about 50 credits; with Basic AI video clips, about 330.

**Worked examples, including the voice:**

| One minute Faceless Video | Total |
| --- | --- |
| AI images, basic | about 50 |
| Stock video | about 80 |
| Background video | about 40 |
| AI images, good | about 130 |
| AI video clips, basic | about 330 |
| Avatar | about 510 |

---

## Skeleton Video

Always uses AI video clips. There is no image option, because the 3D skeleton has to move.

| Quality | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| Basic | 10 credits per second |
| Good | 15 credits per second |
| Premium | 25 credits per second |
| Max | 30 credits per second |

**Worked examples, including the voice:**

| Skeleton Video | Total |
| --- | --- |
| 30 seconds, basic | about 315 |
| 30 seconds, premium | about 765 |
| 60 seconds, basic | about 630 |
| 60 seconds, premium | about 1,530 |
| 60 seconds, max | about 1,830 |

Skeleton videos use many credits. Check the estimate before you start.

---

## 3D Talking Characters

Always uses AI video clips, at the same rate as Skeleton. There is no separate voice charge, because the AI model creates the speech together with the picture.

| Quality | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| Basic | 10 credits per second |
| Good | 15 credits per second |
| Premium | 25 credits per second |
| Max | 30 credits per second |

**Worked examples:**

| 3D Talking Characters | Total |
| --- | --- |
| 30 seconds, basic | about 300 |
| 30 seconds, premium | about 750 |
| 60 seconds, basic | about 600 |
| 60 seconds, premium | about 1,500 |
| 60 seconds, max | about 1,800 |

---

## AI Construction Timelapse

Always uses AI video. There is no voiceover. You pay for stills plus the video. Photos you upload are free and replace stills we would have generated.

| Part | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| Stills we generate | 10 credits each |
| Photos you upload | 0 credits |
| AI video, Basic | 8 credits per second |
| AI video, Good | 13 credits per second |
| AI video, Premium | 15 credits per second |

A 30 second video on Basic uses 5 stills. A 60 second video on Basic uses 8 stills. Two uploaded photos on a 60 second video leave 6 stills to generate.

**Worked examples:**

| AI Construction Timelapse | Total |
| --- | --- |
| 30 seconds, Basic, no photos | 290 |
| 60 seconds, Basic, no photos | 560 |
| 60 seconds, Basic, with both photos | 540 |

Construction timelapses use many credits. Check the estimate before you start.

## AI Music Video

Pays for a song instead of a voiceover.

| Part | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| Base cost for each music video | 50 credits |
| AI song generation | 30 credits |
| AI lyrics, if you ask for them | 5 credits |
| Visuals | same image rates as Faceless, including +3 credits for each of your own photos used in a scene |
| Visuals, if you use AI video clips | 5, 10, 26 or 30 credits per second (your photos add nothing extra) |

**Worked example:** a one minute music video with good images costs about 155 credits, made up of 50 base, 30 for the song, and 75 for the images. A music video uses one image every 4 seconds, so a minute is 15 images.

---

## UGC Reaction Hooks

Uses your own video, so there is no voice or scene cost.

| Part | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| Demo video | 50 credits |
| Reaction clip, good | 50 credits for each 5 second clip |
| Reaction clip, premium | 150 credits for each 5 second clip |

---

## Smaller actions

These are the same for every video type.

| Action | Cost |
| --- | --- |
| Ideas Finder | 2 credits |
| Script writing and refinement | 1 credit per minute of script, minimum 1 |
| AI title and description | 10 credits |
| Background music in the editor | 38 credits per minute |
| Sound effect in the editor | 30 credits |
| Exporting and downloading | 0 credits |

## How much does a 10 minute video cost?

Long videos are mostly voice plus visuals, so the cost scales with length. These totals are for a 10 minute Faceless Video.

| What you pick | Voice | Visuals | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AI images, basic | 300 | about 200 | about 500 |
| Stock video | 300 | 500 | about 800 |
| Background video | 300 | 100 | about 400 |
| AI images, good | 300 | about 1,000 | about 1,300 |
| AI video clips, basic | 300 | 3,000 | about 3,300 |

Captions, the background music you pick on the create form, and the export itself add nothing.

## Which plan fits my monthly output?

Multiply one video by how many you plan to publish. For 30 videos of 10 minutes each:

| Style | Credits per month | Smallest plan that covers it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AI images, basic | about 15,000 | Agency |
| Stock video | about 24,000 | Business |
| AI images, good | about 39,000 | Business |

Unused credits roll over, so a month where you publish less builds a buffer for a heavier month. See [Get more credits](https://help.aituber.app/en/article/get-more-credits-1bfprgg/).

## Can I test the real cost on free credits?

Not for a full long video. New accounts get up to 165 free credits, and a 10 minute video starts at about 400. Free credits also cover AI images, stock footage, and background videos, because AI video clips need an active plan.

Make a **1 minute** video at the settings you plan to use, then multiply. A 1 minute Faceless Video with basic images costs about 50 credits, which fits inside the free credits and shows you the real quality.

## Do I pay again if I regenerate one scene?

Yes. Regenerating a single image or a single clip charges for that item again, at the same rate as the first time. It does not recharge the whole video, and it does not recharge the voice.

## Is there a daily limit on how many videos I can make?

No. There is no daily cap. Your credit balance is the only limit.

## Two things that cost nothing

- **Downloading.** Free, though it does need a plan. [How to download your video](https://help.aituber.app/en/article/how-to-download-your-video-19lsix0/).
- **A failed video.** If generation fails, your credits are returned automatically.
