What one dollar actually buys
Short answer: $1 verifies your card and unlocks every AI video model for 7 days, with 200 credits added. That is 7 complete UGC ad angles (product scene plus clip), up to 10 short clips, or one premium render. On day 8 the Starter plan starts at $12/month unless you cancel, which is one click. Below is the whole offer, with the real price of every model.

How the $1 trial works
You pay $1 today
One dollar is charged to your card. That charge is a card verification, and it is what unlocks video generation. The free plan covers images only, with 150 credits and no card at all.
Every video model unlocks for 7 days
The full catalog, not a demo shortlist: Kling, Seedance, VEO, Wan, Grok Imagine, Hailuo, HunyuanVideo. You also get the Starter plan features while the trial runs: no watermark, 4K export, and access to credit top-ups.
200 credits land in your balance
At the top-up rate of 1,000 credits for $10, 200 credits are worth about $2, more than the dollar you paid. What that buys depends entirely on the model you pick, which is what the table below is for.
On day 8, Starter starts at $12/month
Unless you cancel first. Cancelling takes one click in Account → Subscription, at any point during the 7 days, and you keep the trial until it expires. If you do nothing, the plan renews automatically every month until you cancel.
Two ways to spend 200 credits, credit by credit
A UGC ad needs two things: a scene with your product in it, and a short clip made from that scene. Among the models of Kreavo's price index, the cheapest scene is Grok Imagine at $0.07 (7 credits) and the cheapest clip is Wan 3.0 at $0.20 (20 credits), so one complete ad angle costs 27 credits.
The same math for a full test budget: what one tested ad angle costs
- Plan A, test hooks: 7 complete ad angles × 27 credits = 189 credits. The 11 credits left pay for 1 more product scenes to try other backgrounds.
- Plan B, see the finished quality: one Seedance 2.5 render, a 5-second 720p clip, at 175 credits ($1.75), plus 3 product scenes with what is left.
- Our advice: Plan A first. Several hooks side by side tell you more about your product than one beautiful clip, and the winning angle is the one worth a premium render once you keep the plan.
Why video asks for a card when images don't
Images on the free plan cost us fractions of a cent each, so 150 free credits with no card is easy to offer. A video is different: every generation books real GPU time on an external model, and it is billed to us whether the clip is good or not. The $1 charge is there to make that cost survivable. It is not a paywall on quality: trial videos are the same models, at the same resolutions, without a watermark. It simply means one card can only open one trial, which is what keeps free video generation from being farmed at scale and slowing down everyone who pays.
How long a clip actually takes to render
Generation is minutes, not hours, but it varies a lot by model. Across 382 completed jobs on the models with enough volume to publish a number, the median render runs from 95s on Grok Imagine to 266s on Seedance 2.5. That matters for a 7-day trial: you are not waiting days between attempts, so a single evening is genuinely enough to run the cheap clips, pick a winner and render it properly. Live medians per model, refreshed at every deploy, are published on the model index.
What a video costs after the trial
The same per-generation prices as during the trial: from $0.20 for a short Wan 3.0 clip up to $18.90 for the longest, highest-resolution Wan 3.0 render. Starter is $12/month, and top-ups are 1,000 credits for $10 when you need more.
Every model's price range, side by side: how much AI UGC costs
Cancelling, in full
Account → Subscription → cancel. One click, no email, no form, no retention call. You can do it the same hour you start the trial; the video models stay unlocked until the 7 days are up, and nothing is charged on day 8. If you keep the plan, Starter is $12/month, renews monthly, and can be cancelled the same way at any time.
Free plan vs the $1 trial
After day 8 the trial becomes the Starter plan at $12/month unless cancelled.
What 200 trial credits buy, model by model
Cheapest variant of each video model in the price index, at the top-up rate where 1,000 credits cost $10. These are the prices charged in the app, read straight from the model catalog at build time, not an estimate.
The cheapest variant usually means a shorter clip at a lower resolution. Longer clips and 1080p cost more. The full price range per model is on the model index.
