invideo AI 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
invideo AI needs a plan: Starter is $20 a seat a month for 400 credits with "selected models", and all models start at Plus, $60 a month. Plan credits reset every month, also on yearly plans; extra credits can be bought only by a paid workspace and stop working when the plan ends.
This guide covers invideo's plans and credit rules, what its published credit ranges come to per clip, what invideo does that a model studio does not, paying per clip instead, 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. invideo's figures were read on November 10, 2026 on its pricing page and help pages on extra credits, how credits work and video model pricing. All seven all-in-one apps side by side: which AI video apps need a subscription.

The short answer
- Starter, $20 a seat a month ($10 billed yearly, shown as 50% off), 400 credits, selected models (Seedance only as 2.0 Fast and Mini); Plus, $60 ($30 yearly), 2,000 credits, all models; Max, $250, 8,000 credits.
- No rollover: plan credits reset every month on the subscription day, also on yearly plans.
- Extra credits need a paid plan: from $5, valid 12 months, but they stop working when the plan ends.
- Per clip on GenMagic, there is no plan or seat: top-ups from $5 never expire, and you see each clip's price before you generate.

| Starter | $20 a seat | $10 a seat a month | 400 | Selected |

invideo's catalog has 70+ video models, among them Veo 3.1, Kling 4.0 and 3.0, Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3 and Hailuo, Runway Gen-4.5, Grok Imagine and Pixverse. A Free plan exists with a weekly limit; its credits and models are not stated on today's pages.
Its credit rules
- Rollover: none; "unused credits do not roll over", also on annual plans.
- Extra credits: minimum $5, with volume discounts and auto-reload, only for a paid workspace, and "can only be used while the workspace is on a paid plan". A new subscription later "clears credits bought before it".
- Refunds: fees are non-refundable; a refund may be asked within 24 hours of a purchase or renewal if no credits or premium features were used.
- API: no API keys; invideo works with AI agents through its MCP server and CLI, signed in.
What a clip costs
invideo publishes a credit range per model, from its cheapest to its most expensive settings; the exact figure shows in the app. On Starter monthly a credit is $0.05; on Plus monthly, $0.03.
| A clip | invideo's credits | In dollars | Per clip on GenMagic today |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance 2.0 Fast, one video | about 30 (its pricing calculator) | about $1.50 on Starter | $0.68 for 5 s at 720p |
| Seedance 2.5, 5 s, 720p | about 56 | about $1.68 on Plus | $1.73 |
| Kling 3.0, 3 to 15 s, 720p to 4K | 10.08 to 252 | $0.50 to $12.60 on Starter | $0.95 for 5 s at 720p |
| Veo 3.1, 4 to 8 s, 720p to 4K | 32 to 192 | $1.60 to $9.60 on Starter | $0.60 for 8 s of Veo 3.1 Lite at 720p |
How to read it: invideo's dollars assume every credit of the month is used; credits left over at the end of the month are lost.
What invideo does that a model studio does not
invideo is an editor as much as a generator: it turns a script or an idea into an edited video with stock footage, voiceover, captions and music, has a timeline editor with multiplayer editing, and edits and exports cost no credits. GenMagic is a studio for the models themselves: you make each clip, image or voiceover and assemble them in your own editor, or let a workflow assemble them, such as our faceless YouTube Shorts template for n8n. The whole workflow and YouTube's rules for AI channels: how to start a faceless YouTube channel with AI video.
Which to pick
- You want a finished, edited video from a script, every week: an invideo plan, Plus or above for all models.
- You need the newest models on a budget and edit yourself: pay per clip; a quiet month costs nothing and top-up credit never expires.
- You run a faceless channel on autopilot: GenMagic's balance works in n8n, Zapier, Make and the API, with ready-made n8n workflows.
- You need Kling 4.0: invideo, or Kling's own app; GenMagic does not run it yet.
Questions
Can I use invideo AI without a subscription? Not for its full catalog: extra credits need a paid workspace, and a Free plan has a weekly limit whose models are not stated on its pages.
Do invideo credits roll over? No. Plan credits reset every month, also on yearly plans, and extra credits stop working when the plan ends.
Is invideo good for faceless YouTube videos? It is built for them: script to edited video, with stock, voice and captions. If you prefer to make the clips with a specific model and pay per clip, a model studio plus an editor or an n8n workflow does the same job.
What is an invideo alternative without a subscription? For the clips themselves, a per-clip studio such as GenMagic: every video model on one balance, the price before you generate, and $0.50 of starter credit when you verify your email. Every model and price: pay-as-you-go AI video generator.
