Pollo AI Without a Subscription? Its Plans, Credit Rules, Clip Prices, and Paying Per Clip Instead (November 2026)
Live figures last changed · 4 min read · The GenMagic team
Pollo AI's free plan gives 20 credits, enough for a few watermarked videos; beyond that, credits come with a plan, from Lite at 13 euros a month for 400 credits as its pricing page showed a visitor in Europe on November 10, 2026. Subscription credits expire at the end of each cycle; add-on packs and bonus credits never expire and stay usable after the plan ends, but are bought alongside a paid plan.
This guide covers Pollo AI's plans and credit rules, what a clip comes to from its own credit figures, its separate API, 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, in US dollars. Pollo AI's figures were read on November 10, 2026 on its pricing page, its credits FAQ, its refund policy and its API pricing. Its plan prices were shown in euros before VAT, and its page data suggests they can differ by visitor. All the all-in-one video apps side by side: which AI video apps need a subscription.

Pollo AI's plans
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly | Credits a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 | 0 | 20 |
| Lite | 13 euros | 10.83 euros a month | 400 ("up to 80 videos") |
| Pro | from 25 euros | from 13 euros a month (read once) | from 800 |
| Ultra | from 116 euros | from 89.08 euros a month | from 5,000 |
Pollo's models include Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Lite, Kling 4.0 and 3.0, Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3, Hailuo, Sora 2, Vidu Q4 and its own Pollo 2.5. Paid plans add watermark-free downloads; Ultra adds 7 days of unlimited Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3 and Pollo 2.5 video.
Its credit rules
- Expiry: subscription credits "do not roll over" and expire at the end of each billing cycle, also when the membership ends.
- Add-ons and bonuses: add-on packs and bonus credits (sign-up, daily check-ins, referrals) never expire and stay usable after the subscription ends. Pollo's FAQ ties extra credits to paid plans (a slider on Pro, one-time packs on Pro-Yearly), and each paid plan's card lists "Buy an add-on credit pack".
- Order of use: subscription credits first, then bonus, then add-on credits.
- Refunds: within 3 days of purchase and only if no more than 50 subscription credits were used, with a fee of up to 6%; add-on credits are not refundable.
What a clip costs
Pollo's pricing table gives the credits for some clips. On Lite monthly a credit is 0.0325 euros (13 euros for 400), with every credit of the month used:
| A clip | Pollo credits | On Lite | Per clip on GenMagic today |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 Lite, 4 s | 8 | about 0.26 euros | $0.30 at 720p with sound |
| Veo 3.1, 4 s, 720p | 24 | about 0.78 euros | $2.40 with sound |
| Seedance 2.5, 5 s, 480p | 30 | about 0.98 euros | $0.77 |
Pollo's pages did not show a credit figure for Kling clips. How to read it: Pollo's column is its best case, in euros before VAT, with the plan fully used; plan credits left at the end of the cycle are lost.
Pollo's API
Pollo also sells its models to developers from a separate prepaid dollar balance ("API usage is billed in USD and is separate from your Pollo AI credits"), priced per second: Wan 3.0 at $0.0498 a second at 480p, $0.1002 at 720p and $0.1998 at 1080p. It needs code.
Which to pick
- You make video every week and will use your whole allowance: a Pollo plan; per clip its best case is low, and its add-on credits do not expire.
- You want Kling 4.0, Vidu or Sora 2: Pollo runs them; GenMagic does not run those three today.
- You make a few clips a month, or want no plan at all: pay per clip; a quiet month costs nothing and top-up credit never expires.
- You automate without code: GenMagic's balance also works in n8n, Zapier and Make.
