InVideo AI currently advertises Basic, Pro and Ultra plans built around generation credits. Its annual view starts at $9 per seat per month equivalent for Basic. Older articles using Plus, Max or a single fixed cost per video need careful checking against the current plan page.
Cost per finished video depends on the model, clip settings, revisions and how many outputs you can use. This guide uses public pricing and billing documentation checked on 5 October 2026, with a labelled budget example. Older Studio experience is included only to explain the product distinction.

InVideo AI and InVideo Studio are different comparisons
AIX Radar has older InVideo Studio experience in Malik’s 14 May 2026 video-testing notes. He pasted the same explainer script used in Pictory, selected a corporate template, added text-to-speech and exported a Studio video. The notes record a thirty-second preview and a three-minute export, without the avatar and lip-sync steps used in the Pictory project.
That was an editor workflow, not a test of the current InVideo AI credit plans. It would be misleading to use the Studio export time as an InVideo AI speed result or to say it proved better value. The original side-by-side workflow and outputs appear in our Pictory review’s earlier video tests.
For your own shortlist, decide whether the main job is assembling existing assets or generating new footage. The answer changes which product and which allowance you should compare. A fast template-based export can still be unsuitable for a brief that needs newly generated scenes.
What makes one video more expensive than another?
The official model-pricing guide lists different credit charges by model, duration and settings. A longer high-resolution generated clip is a different budget item from an edit to existing material. Audio settings and the chosen generation model can also affect the quoted charge.
The credit help page says new generation consumes credits, while editing an existing video or downloading does not itself consume generation credits. Check the quoted cost before confirming an action; a request for new footage should not be classified as a free edit simply because it occurs inside an existing project.
A cost-per-video calculation you can adapt
Suppose an imagined workflow quotes 60 credits for the first version of a video. You plan a second version of every project, making the allowance 120 credits per finished video. The 60-credit figure is a hypothetical input, not a current InVideo quote.
A 1,000-credit budget would cover eight such 120-credit projects, leaving 40 credits. Allocating Pro’s displayed $18 annual monthly equivalent across eight usable videos gives $2.25 per video. Allocating the same subscription across only four usable outputs gives $4.50 each.
This is subscription allocation, not a per-video tariff. The annual commitment, taxes, unused credits, seat count and your production time are separate. A different model quote or another revision changes the result immediately.
For your own budget, start with the current credit quote, multiply by the number of planned attempts, add editing steps that generate new material, and compare the total with the selected allowance. Then divide the subscription cost by the outputs you expect to keep. Do not divide by every generated candidate and call that your finished-video cost.
Separate the first draft from the finished-video budget
A useful production sequence is script approval, visual planning, candidate generation, scene selection, revisions and final review. Complete the script and essential scene requirements before commissioning high-cost clips. Changing the message after generating footage can make a cheap initial draft an expensive finished project.
For each scene, write down duration, model, resolution, audio needs and the number of attempts you are prepared to fund. Include a fallback, such as licensed stock or your own footage, when a generated scene fails to communicate the point. This is a planning method, not evidence that a particular model will succeed after a fixed number of tries.
In the hypothetical 120-credit workflow above, Basic’s 190 credits cover one complete budgeted project with 70 credits remaining. Pro’s 1,000 cover eight with 40 remaining; Ultra’s 3,000 cover twenty-five. These comparisons use the same assumed workflow so the tiers can be compared fairly. They do not claim the plans guarantee those finished-video counts.
Keep editing labour outside the credit calculation. If a generated clip needs manual correction, subscription allocation may look low while the actual cost of a usable video rises. Record both the credit consumption and the time spent bringing the video up to the intended standard.
Do unused InVideo credits roll over?
The current credit help page says monthly credits reset at the billing anniversary and unused monthly credits do not roll over. It also currently says unused top-up credits do not roll over. Confirm a top-up’s expiry terms before treating it as a permanent reserve.
This matters for occasional projects. A larger allowance may offer little value if you cannot use it within its validity period. Estimate your quiet months as well as your busy ones before choosing an annual plan.
Which InVideo AI plan should you compare?
Basic is the first plan to examine for a small, low-credit workflow. Pro becomes a candidate when the smaller allowance does not cover your planned production and revisions. Ultra deserves comparison when regular credit demand is substantially higher. Those are budget filters, not recommendations about output quality.
If you are buying for a team, compare the final seat calculation. A price per seat cannot be quoted as the total team price without checking which users are paid seats and which have limited access. Also distinguish this AI subscription from any separately described editor product.
What should you check before annual billing?
Confirm the exact product, billing period, model availability, credit expiry and refund conditions in the order summary. For tools that build videos through a different workflow, browse our AI video tools category. Published pricing can narrow a shortlist; representative output and editing tests are still needed before making a quality claim.
Which alternative workflow should you investigate?
For script-led stock and narration work, our Pictory workflow review shows an older completed example. For presenter-led content, the Zebracat avatar review records custom-avatar and script-selection limitations. Compare the required output first, then the appropriate product’s present quote; those older tests are not a current three-way quality benchmark.
