Freepik (Magnific) AI Video Without a Subscription? Its Plans, Credit Rules, Clip Prices, and Paying Per Clip Instead (November 2026)
Live figures last changed · 5 min read · The GenMagic team
Freepik's AI video, now sold under the name Magnific, needs a plan: Premium is $20 a month for 20,000 credits, the Free plan has no video, extra credits are sold only to Plus, Pro and Business subscribers, and plan credits do not roll over. On a Premium plan you use up every month, some clips cost less than paying per clip and some cost more; in a month with only a few clips, the plan costs its full price anyway.
This guide covers Magnific's plans and credit rules, what its published clip prices come to in dollars, the same clips paid per clip, what Magnific has that a per-clip studio may not, and which fits whom.
A note on who wrote this: GenMagic is a per-clip studio and the alternative compared here; its prices come from its live catalog. Magnific's figures were read on November 10, 2026 on its pricing page (freepik.com/pricing redirects there) and in its docs on plans and pricing, credits and limits and extra credits. All seven all-in-one apps side by side: which AI video apps need a subscription.

The short answer
- Video starts at Premium, $20 a month for 20,000 credits, or $14.50 a month billed yearly ($174 a year for 240,000 credits given upfront).
- No credits without a plan: extra packs are for Plus, Pro and Business subscribers only, and Magnific's docs say extra credits are forfeited when the subscription ends.
- Plan credits do not roll over: monthly plans reset every month, yearly plans every year.
- Per clip on GenMagic, Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 Fast cost less than on a fully used Premium plan, Kling 3.0 Pro and Veo 3.1 in 4K cost more, and nothing is paid in a month you make nothing. Top-ups start at $5 and never expire.
Magnific's plans
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | No credits; up to 20 images a day with the in-house model, no video |
| Premium | $20 a month | $14.50 a month ($174 a year) | 20,000 a month (yearly: 240,000 upfront) |
| Plus | $45 a month | $33.75 a month ($405 a year) | 45,000 a month (yearly: 600,000 upfront) |
| Pro | from $110 a month | from $82.50 a month | from 112,500 a month |
Prices are in US dollars, before VAT. Every paid plan includes a commercial AI license; the Free plan is personal use with attribution. Plus and Pro add "unlimited" use of 30+ selected models, mostly image models, after a priority allowance.
Its credit rules
- Extra credits: packs are sold only to Plus, Pro and Business subscribers, not to Free or Premium, and need an active plan. They last 3 years, but the docs say they are forfeited when the subscription ends.
- Rollover: plan credits do not carry over to the next month (or year, on yearly plans), except once when you upgrade.
- Refunds: within 30 days and only if no downloads and no AI credits were used in the billing period.
What a clip costs
Magnific publishes the credits for many clips on its pricing page. Below are those credits in dollars on Premium monthly ($20 for 20,000 credits, a tenth of a cent each), if you use every credit of the month. The last column is the same clip paid per clip on GenMagic today.
| A clip | Magnific credits | On Premium | Per clip on GenMagic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.5, 720p, 4 s | 1,760 | $1.76 | $1.39 |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast, 720p, 4 s | 940 | $0.94 | $0.54 |
| Kling 3.0 Pro, 1080p, 5 s | 450 | $0.45 | $0.84 silent, $1.26 with sound |
| Veo 3.1, 4K with audio, 4 s | 2,080 | $2.08 | $3.60 (Veo 3.1 Fast: $1.80) |
| Kling 4.0, 1080p, 3 s | 840 | $0.84 | not offered |
How to read it: the Premium column is the lowest price a Premium plan can reach, when every credit is spent. A month in which you spend half of them doubles each clip's real price; a month with no clips still costs $20. Per clip, you pay only for the clips you make, at the price the studio shows before you generate.
What Magnific has
- Kling 4.0, which GenMagic does not run.
- A stock library of 250M+ assets in the same subscription, and image, audio and editing tools.
- Published credit prices per model, which most all-in-one apps do not give.
- Yearly plans with all credits upfront, which suits steady, heavy use.
Which to pick
- You make video every week and will use your whole allowance, or you need Kling 4.0 or stock assets: a Magnific plan.
- You make a few clips a month, or one project now and then: pay per clip; a quiet month costs nothing and top-up credit never expires.
- You work mostly with Seedance: per clip on GenMagic is lower than Premium's best case for Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 Fast.
- You automate: GenMagic's balance also works in n8n, Zapier, Make and the API.
