How much does an AI video cost? Credits and examples

The price of an AI video depends on how the tool charges, and tools charge in very different ways: per second, per clip, per month or per credit. This guide explains how pricing works on Qiroq, shows what typical clips cost, and gives a method for planning a month of content so the bill is never a surprise.

What decides the price

On Qiroq every render is priced in credits, and only two things set the number: the resolution and the length of the clip. The subject, the style and how many attempts you needed do not change what one render costs. The price is shown in the generator before you confirm, so you always know it first.

• Resolution: 480p, 720p and 1080p. Higher resolution costs more.
• Length: 5, 10 or 15 seconds. Longer clips cost more.

What a clip costs

These are the current prices for the shortest and the longest clips:

• 5 seconds at 480p: 30 credits.
• 5 seconds at 1080p: 100 credits.
• 10 seconds at 480p: 50 credits.
• 10 seconds at 1080p: 200 credits.

The full table is on the pricing page and in the generator. Prices can change, and the numbers on this page follow the live settings.

What a credit costs

A credit costs about $0.06 when you buy a pack, and paid plans, which start at $17 a month, include credits every month. New accounts start with 500 free credits, so you can make a first clip before you pay anything. Free renders are 480p with a watermark; paid plans render up to 1080p without one.

Why drafting first saves money

The most useful habit is to separate drafting from finishing. You rarely get the shot you want on the first attempt, and every attempt costs credits. If every attempt is at 1080p you spend the most on the attempts you throw away.

Instead, draft at 480p, where you can still judge the subject, the action and the camera move, and re-render only the winners at 1080p. The guide to 480p, 720p or 1080p says when each resolution is enough.

Three examples

A single social clip

You want one polished 5-second clip. Make about four drafts at 480p, then one final at 1080p: four drafts at 30 credits each plus one final at 100 credits.

A product teaser

You want a 10-second hero shot. Draft three versions at 480p and finish the best at 1080p: three drafts at 50 credits each plus one final at 200 credits.

A week of short clips

You want five finished 5-second clips for the week. Draft each twice at 480p and finish each once at 1080p: ten drafts at 30 credits plus five finals at 100 credits.

How to plan a month

1. Count the finished clips you will publish.
2. Price each at the resolution you will publish in.
3. Add a draft allowance: two or three low-resolution attempts per finished clip is a sensible start.
4. Compare the total with the credits in a plan and with a one-time pack, then pick whichever is cheaper for your volume.

What happens when something goes wrong

If a render fails, its credits are returned to your balance automatically. A prompt that breaks the content rules is refused before any credit is spent. Credits you have spent on a clip that simply was not what you wanted are not returned, which is another reason to draft low.
