Pricing

Pay for what you make

Scenes AI is pay as you go. You buy credits, one credit is one US dollar, and you spend them only when something is actually generated — no subscription, no minimum, and nothing expires. A video costs the clips, one still per scene, the narration and one music track.

$10 gets you roughly

  • 5×30-second TikTok or Reel
  • 2×60-second explainer
  • 20×60-second slideshow

At Standard quality. Credits never expire, so a balance carries across projects.

    Standard quality · no video clips

Every figure is an estimate produced by the same code that bills the account. Draft and Premium are the platform's two quality tiers; Standard is a middle setting we suggest, not a separate plan.

Change anything and the estimate updates. The arithmetic runs on the server, using the same calculator that bills the account.

Slow camera moves over generated images. No video clips are bought, so it is much cheaper.

Estimated cost

—

    An estimate, not a quote. The real scene count and narration length are only known once your script exists — and you approve a preview before any clips are generated.

    Per-clip engines charge the same whatever the clip length, so longer scenes are better value on them. See the model pages for what each engine is good at, or Seedance 2.0 compared with Veo 3.1 Fast.
