Sound Effects (SFX)
Generating any SFX costs 2.5 credits/generation.
Speech
10 credits/minute of speech generated.
For example, a 10 minute podcast will cost 100 credits, and a 25 minute podcast will cost 250 credits.
The charge is the same for generations in standard mode and Convo Mode, both costing 10 credits/minute of speech generated.
We charge you when you first generate a speech clip. After that, you receive 2 free regenerations (only for paid subscribers), provided the changes you've made to the script are less than 25 characters
Parrot mode costs 20 credits/minute of speech generated.
Director mode costs 20 credits/minute of speech generated.
Wonda Messages
Each message with Wonda costs credits. Credits charged are variable depending on the complexity of the task you asked Wonda to do, and what model you selected
For example, saying "Hello" to Wonda results in negligible credits used, but asking to create a 20-min video with specific instructions will consume a lot more
In terms of models:
Claude is the best model for complex video creation tasks and is the most expensive.
GPT is best for routine video creation tasks and is cheaper than Claude.
Kimi is best for simple video creation tasks and is the cheapest.
Upscaling visual assets
When you export in a higher resolution, we would offer to upscale the visual assets that are lower resolution. You can choose the assets you wish to upscale, or skip upscaling them.
Credit rollovers
Unused credits roll over into the next month for our paid subscribers. For more information see 📄 Do unused credits rollover?
