Plans, credits and limits
The four plans and the credit packs, what every action costs in credits, what a free account and a mastering member get, and how reservations work. Prices as of October 2026.
#One currency, kept apart from audio
The generator has its own credits. They are separate from mastering and stem splitting, they never expire, unused monthly credits roll over, and an annual plan grants all twelve months up front. Nothing you buy here changes your audio plan, and nothing you have there is spent here. The balance is the pill at the top right of the generator.
#The plans
New accounts get launch prices, about half the regular price, for as long as the launch discount runs. The plans dialog always shows the prices for your own account, and a plan you already have keeps its price.
| Starter | Creator | Director | Professional | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly, launch price | $29 | $49 | $99 | $199 |
| Yearly, launch price (billed once) | $276 · $23/mo | $468 · $39/mo | $948 · $79/mo | $1,908 · $159/mo |
| Credits per month | 1,500 | 3,000 | 6,250 | 13,000 |
| Regular price | $59/mo for 2,000 credits | $99/mo for 4,000 credits | $199/mo for 8,500 credits | $399/mo for 18,000 credits |
| Main characters | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Style references | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| Storyboard preview | First 60 s | First 60 s | First 60 s | First 60 s |
| Scene tools, the chat, lip sync, 4K | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Creator pack | Free | Free | Free | Free |
| Auto QC & retakes | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Research the world | No | No | No | Yes |
| Credit packs | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Every plan has the full engine: song analysis, cinematic storyboards, the motion engines at every quality up to 1080p, lip sync, beat-led editing and colour, the chat, and a consistent main character. The higher tiers add characters and the two review tools; the rest is how many credits arrive each month. Yearly plans grant all twelve months of credits up front and save about 20%. Cancel anytime; credits you already have stay.
#Credit packs
| Pack | Price | Per credit |
|---|---|---|
| 500 credits | $9 | 1.8¢ |
| 2,000 credits | $34 | 1.7¢ |
| 5,000 credits | $85 | 1.7¢ |
| 10,000 credits | $165 | 1.65¢ |
Packs are a one-time top-up for active subscribers, which is why the Plans / Credit packs switch only appears once you have a plan. The price is the same for every subscriber, a bigger pack never costs more per credit, and pack credits never expire either.

#Reservations, not surprises
Every paid action shows its price before it starts. When you approve, the credits are reserved (the balance shows them as N reserved under the pill), completed work is charged as it finishes, and whatever was not used is released. A film is reserved one step at a time; if a step would need more than the estimate allowed for, it pauses and asks with a Review credits button rather than spending on. If your balance is short for what you asked, the plans open instead and nothing is reserved.
#Without a plan
| No plan | SoundBoost mastering member | |
|---|---|---|
| Storyboard preview | 30 s, free | 30 s, free |
| Previews per day / month | 2 / 4 | 2 / 8 |
| Style references | 2 | 3 |
| Main characters | 1, with 3 photos | 1, with 3 photos |
| Enrich my idea | 3 free a day | 3 free a day |
| Scene tools, chat, unlock, film | Need a plan | Need a plan |
A mastering or stem membership is not a Music Video plan, but it does widen the free door: four more previews a month and one more style reference. The footnote under the intake always says what your account gets before you press Next.
I paid and the credits are not there yet
The page says Checking your payment and credits… and waits for the receipt; most arrive within seconds. If it turns into We're still confirming your purchase, do not pay again: press Check again or come back in a few minutes, and contact support with the time of the purchase if they are still missing.
Do credits expire if I cancel?
No. Credits never expire; a cancelled plan simply stops adding new ones. Packs need an active plan to buy, not to spend.
Can I change plans mid-month?
Yes, from the same dialog. Upgrades and downgrades charge or credit the prorated difference, and your credits adjust to the remaining period; spent credits may need a top-up after a downgrade.
Are prices the same in the app and on the pricing page?
The dialog reads the live catalog for your account, so what you see there is what is charged. The public page shows the prices for new accounts; an older account can see a different launch set, and a plan you already pay for keeps its price.
