According to ToolColumn, a roundup of the kind that [Activepieces](https://www.activepieces.com) users often consult when comparing tools, invideo AI, the AI video maker, charges $20 a month on Starter and $60 on Plus, or $10 and $30 a month billed annually.

What you buy is a pool of credits rather than a number of videos, which means you can't guarantee a specific video count from your subscription.

Only Starter and Plus have confirmed prices here. Free, Max and Generative are unconfirmed, so "every plan" in the title means every plan I could verify.

### Free, Plus, Max and Generative plans compared

Two paid tiers have confirmed figures, as of 9 November 2026. Starter is $20 a month, or $10 a month billed annually, for 400 credits. Plus is $60 a month, or $30 a month billed annually, for 2,000 credits.

![Two pricing cards, Starter and Plus, with short and tall credit stacks](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/d77312b2-eb4e-44a3-b2ff-baefece5e1e3/invideo-ai-pricing-plans-and-credit-costs-2026-i-f01ce7f2.webp)

Plus gives five times the credits of Starter for three times the monthly price, so the price per credit falls as you move up.

Divide it out. Starter costs $0.05 a credit on monthly billing and $0.025 on annual, so the annual rate is half the monthly rate.

At $0.03 and $0.015, Plus means you save 50% by committing to annual billing. If you'll use the credits anyway, Plus is the cheaper way to buy them. If you'll use only a fraction of 2,000, you're paying for credits that never get spent.

![Activepieces pricing page showing four subscription tiers with features and pricing.](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/99e60e08-79ab-4cdf-864e-289013a7463e/neon-pricing-2026-plans-free-tier-limits-and-cos-b089be25.webp)

I haven't confirmed figures for the Free plan, the Max plan or the Generative plan, so none are printed here. Read their credit allowance, watermark rule and seat count on the pricing page before you count them as options.

### What the pricing page says versus what the app enforces

Although the pricing page states the allowance, the app decides how fast a video spends it.

A retry, a regenerated scene or a longer export each draw from the same pool as the first attempt, so the number of videos you get is below the number the arithmetic suggests.

**Before you pick a tier, run one real video start to finish and note how many credits it used, retries included.** That figure is your cost per video, and it's the one the rest of this integration uses.

### Verify invideo AI pricing before you subscribe

Open invideo AI's own pricing page and toggle between monthly and annual, because the lower figure applies only when you pay for the year upfront. Then find the metered unit, which here is credits.

Look for any watermark or export limit attached to your plan, and for the seat count if more than one person will use the account.

## Understand each plan's real cost

For a solo weekly creator or a small business's monthly explainers, Starter covers it, and Plus is where daily posting starts to make sense. Billing cycle moves the bill more than the plan does.

The gap between its paired bars is the point: **annual billing roughly halves the per-video cost** on both paid plans.

If you fill the plan's allowance with finished videos, the bars hold; a retry-heavy month will cost more than they show.

Each per-video figure below is the plan price divided by the videos you make in a month, checked against the credits those videos can spend. Swap in your own volume and your own measured credits per video.

### InVideo AI cost for weekly shorts

Weekly shorts means about four videos a month. Starter then works out to [$5.00 per video on monthly billing ($20 ÷ 4) and $2.50 on annual ($10 ÷ 4)](https://invideo.io/pricing/).

That only fits if each short costs about 100 credits, retries included, because 400 credits ÷ 4 videos is 100.

The annual figure is half the monthly one, so a creator who will still be posting in twelve months pays about 50% less per short for the same plan.

If you're unsure you'll last a year, monthly billing costs you the $2.50 per video that annual saves.

### Monthly explainers for a small business

Here too, Starter is enough. At four explainers a month the per-video range is the same, $5.00 to $2.50. Because explainers go out less often, the cost of a wasted attempt falls harder on you.

When the month holds only a few videos, one regenerated draft is a larger share of the output.

For daily posting by a two-person team, Plus is the plan to price. Daily output means about thirty finished videos a month, so it costs [$2.00 per video monthly ($60 ÷ 30) and $1.00 annual ($30 ÷ 30)](https://invideo.io/pricing/).

![Activepieces pricing page displaying four subscription tiers with features and costs.](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/841ec84e-02e4-4761-aca2-e92f6d457f41/self-host-mistral-ai-enterprise-deployment-guide-c7d7dca9.webp)

That assumes each video averages about 66 credits, since 2,000 credits ÷ 30 videos is 66. Plus costs less per credit than Starter at both billing cycles.

### Where the next plan up pays for itself

Per credit, Plus beats Starter, $0.03 against $0.05 monthly and $0.015 against $0.025 annually. Per video, it depends on volume: four videos on Plus cost $15 each monthly ($60 ÷ 4), three times Starter's $5. That saving only materialises if you use the larger pool.

Count the videos you publish in a month and add your retries. If that total regularly exceeds what Starter allows, Plus pays for itself. If it stays under, you're paying for headroom you never touch.

## Uncover hidden costs and limits

### How regenerations use up invideo AI credits

Per clip, invideo AI meters credits, and the rate depends on the model. [ToolColumn's credit breakdown](https://www.toolcolumn.com/learn/invideo-ai-credits-explained) puts a 5-second Kling 3.0 clip at 22.4 credits. Seedance 2.0 Fast is 30 and Seedance 2.5 is 96.

![Credits one AI clip burns across invideo AI video models](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/75718dd2-b670-499c-9d97-540f5ece2cf9/invideo-ai-pricing-plans-and-credit-costs-2026-s-0be64344.svg "Source: ToolColumn")

At 22.4 credits, Kling 3.0 fits 17 clips, which is the cheapest way to iterate. Seedance 2.0 Fast at 30 credits fits 13, so each retry costs about a third more than on Kling.

![Two credit bars filled with 17 and 13 clip thumbnails](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/9ea4b08c-10da-48fa-8600-01974d43e3c3/invideo-ai-pricing-plans-and-credit-costs-2026-i-17a03322.webp)

Seedance 2.5 at 96 credits fits 4, so a single bad take consumes a quarter of the month.

### Credits per usable invideo AI clip

Those counts assume every clip is kept. If it takes three attempts to get one usable clip, 400 credits yield about 5 usable Kling clips. On Seedance 2.0 Fast that's 4, and on Seedance 2.5 it's 1.

A video built from eight scenes won't fit on Seedance 2.5 under Starter at all, so budget by usable clips, not attempts.

Watermarks, export caps and resolution limits are separate from credits. A plan can have credits left and still block a download, or deliver one with a watermark.

Before paying, read the plan's export count, maximum resolution and watermark rule on invideo AI's pricing page. **A watermarked draft that you must regenerate** or re-export clean costs credits twice.

### InVideo AI renewal, cancellation and refund terms

Treat renewal as a second price. An annual plan shows a lower monthly figure but commits you to the full year up front, so a month with few videos still costs the same. Check three things on the pricing and terms pages before you subscribe:

<blockquote class="pull"><p>A watermarked draft that you must regenerate or re-export clean costs credits twice.</p></blockquote>

1. Whether the plan renews automatically, and on which date.
2. Whether unused credits carry over or expire at the end of the billing period.
3. Whether a cancellation or refund request is honored after the first charge.

If credits expire, **the 400 on Starter are a monthly ceiling**, not a balance you can bank, and a slow month wastes them.

## InVideo AI versus Opus Clip, VEED, CapCut

At entry, the rivals cost about the same. Against a credit ceiling that resets every month, invideo AI, VEED, and CapCut Pro all sit near $20 a month, and what differs is the unit each one meters.

### Entry price and annual discount

Per [Fluxnote and Vorec pricing guides](https://fluxnote.io/guides/capcut-pro-pricing-2026), invideo AI Starter is $20 a month or $10 a month billed annually, so paying yearly halves the rate to $120 a year.

VEED Creator is $20 monthly or $9.67 on the annual plan, $116 a year, so it saves about $124 against twelve monthly payments.

Annual billing cuts CapCut Pro's bill by only about a quarter: it's $19.99 monthly or $15 on the annual plan, $179.99 a year. Opus Clip Starter is $15 a month, the lowest monthly entry of the four.

The table sets the four side by side; read the binding-limit column first, because that's where the sticker price stops predicting the bill.

| Tool | Entry monthly price | Annual price | Binding limit | Free watermark | Best-fit job |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| invideo AI | $20 (Starter) | $10 a month billed annually | Monthly credits, 400 on Starter | Yes | Prompt-to-video drafts |
| Opus Clip | $15 (Starter) | Not quoted in our sources | Clip-processing minutes | Yes | Cutting long recordings into clips |
| VEED | $20 (Creator) | $9.67 a month, $116 a year | Export and feature caps by tier | Yes | Browser editing and subtitles |
| CapCut | $19.99 (Pro) | $15 a month, $179.99 a year | Premium assets and cloud features | On some templates and effects | Hands-on editing of short video |

### Pricing limits for each video tool

**Only invideo AI meters generation itself**: its 400 Starter credits are spent each time you generate or regenerate, so retries drain the allowance faster than finished videos do.

On Opus Clip, a long podcast costs more than a short one even if both yield three clips, because it meters the minutes of source footage it processes. VEED and CapCut sell editing features rather than generations, so a retry costs you time, not allowance.

### Which tool is cheaper for each job

If you make a few prompt-built videos a month, invideo AI at $10 annual is cheapest per finished video as long as retries stay low. If you start from recordings, Opus Clip's $15 entry beats a $20 plan that doesn't clip for you.

If you edit footage you shot yourself, CapCut Pro at $15 a month on annual billing is a reasonable tool to pay for., but only if you'll use it all year.

## Automate invideo AI video production hand-offs with Activepieces

Whichever plan you pick, [Activepieces](https://www.activepieces.com/pricing) only removes the busywork around an invideo AI video. It's a tool that chains apps into automated flows, and it doesn't lower what the video costs, because credits are spent inside invideo AI.

Its pricing page counts a flow run as 1 credit however many steps it has, where Zapier bills per task and Make per module, and the Free plan includes 1,000 credits a month with unlimited flows, so the five-step hand-off below costs one credit per script.

![Activepieces pricing page showing four subscription tiers with features and monthly costs.](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/b5f4b19c-ef62-4a60-90b4-7717913b2053/copy-ai-pricing-2026-plans-costs-and-limits-scre-836b2c9c.webp)

### What to automate in invideo AI workflows

Everything on either side of the video is the work that repeats. It means pulling the next script from a spreadsheet, telling the team a draft is ready, and moving the finished file into the right shared folder.

Each of those hand-offs is a trigger and a step in Activepieces, and flows are unlimited on every plan, including free, so a person stops copying text and links by hand without a flow count to manage. That saves time, not credits.

![Activepieces pricing page showing four plan tiers with prices ranging from free to enterprise](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/9f8c4550-3a1d-4bde-a021-c968c6cb2e28/activepieces-rbac-pricing-plans-and-roles-2026-s-ff91a93e.webp)

Check invideo AI's documentation for an API before you design anything around the video step. If it doesn't have one, treat that step as manual.

Don't rely on workarounds that imitate a person clicking through the site, since they can break whenever the interface changes and may conflict with the terms of use.

You can't get around the limits that drive the bill either. Credits, export caps and watermarks apply the same way whether a person or a flow starts the job.

If anything, a flow that feeds scripts in quickly makes it easier to burn through retries. The regeneration habit is yours to control, and no flow fixes it.

### A simple script-to-review workflow

The flow below runs left to right. Script rows in a spreadsheet trigger an Activepieces flow, which costs 1 credit a run, a person makes the video in invideo AI, and a team chat alert and a shared folder close the loop

![Conveyor of gadgets with one person hand-cranking a projector](https://ap-marketing-media.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/uploads/3efb3a11-8c8d-46c7-aecf-ab3c5b99445c/invideo-ai-pricing-plans-and-credit-costs-2026-i-e3f21067.webp)

The invideo AI step is marked manual, so the human stays in charge of how many generations each script gets.

The steps, in order:

1. A new row appears in the spreadsheet with a script, a title and a status of "ready".
2. Activepieces picks up the row and sends the script to the person making the video, with a link back to the row.
3. That person generates the video in invideo AI, reviews it and exports it once, not after every small edit.
4. They drop the export in the shared folder and mark the row as done.
5. Activepieces posts an alert in the team chat with the folder link, so reviewers know it's waiting.

The only paid-for step stays manual, and everything around it is hands-free.

That's where the automation earns its keep: fewer dropped hand-offs and no hunting for files, while the number of credits you spend is still set by how many videos you make and how often you retry.

## Frequently asked questions

Each question below comes down to the same unit: how much you actually make and retry.

Is invideo AI free to use? Yes, there's a free plan, but it's a trial, not a working tier.

Expect a watermark on exports and a cap on what you can generate, so you can judge the output quality but not run a real publishing schedule on it.

If a video has to go out under your brand, plan on a paid tier.

Does invideo AI offer a refund after I subscribe? Don't assume one. Refund terms sit in invideo AI's terms and on its pricing page, and they can differ between monthly and annual billing.

Read them before you pay. Credits you've already spent on generations are the part least likely to come back, so test on the free plan first.

Can I use invideo AI videos commercially on a paid plan? Paid plans are the ones intended for commercial work, and the free plan's watermark makes it unusable for that anyway.

The catch is what goes into the video. Stock footage, music and any voice or likeness you upload each carry their own licence terms, so check those for client or ad work instead of relying on the plan alone.

### Is annual billing worth it for invideo AI?

Only if you'll make videos in most months of the year. Take the annual price, divide it by the months you'll really use the tool, and compare that with the monthly price.

If you make videos in a burst for a campaign and then stop, monthly billing that you cancel is usually cheaper, even though its headline rate looks worse.

If you publish steadily and your retries are predictable, annual wins, because you're paying less for credits you were going to use anyway.

### What happens to unused invideo AI credits at renewal?

Treat them as use-it-or-lose-it unless the plan terms say otherwise. Credits that reset at renewal mean a light month is money wasted, not money banked.

That's the reason to size your plan by the videos you make in a typical month, including retries, and not by your single busiest month.
