How much do faceless videos cost to make?
Updated October 2026
Summary
Scenes cost 1, 2, 4, or 5 credits by tier: Images, Standard, Cinematic, Pro.
A 40-second Standard video costs about 10 credits.
Plans run $20 to $149 per month for roughly 3 to 35 such videos.
Failed renders refund in full, and top-ups cost $0.60 per credit.
Faceless video cost has two parts: the per-scene generation price and the monthly plan that funds it. Both are fixed and published, so the math below is exact.
All figures use the Standard tier, the default for most channels.
Per-scene prices by tier
Every scene is priced by the model tier that renders it. The estimate shown before Generate is exactly what gets charged — nothing else.
- Images: 1 credit per scene — narrated stills.
- Standard: 2 credits per scene — the default balanced tier.
- Cinematic: 4 credits per scene — richer motion and detail.
- Pro: 5 credits per scene — maximum quality per scene.
What one video costs
A 40-second video holds about five 8-second scenes. At Standard tier that is 5 scenes times 2 credits: about 10 credits per finished video.
Shorter videos and the Images tier cost proportionally less; Cinematic and Pro cost proportionally more.
Plan math
Divide monthly credits by 10 to estimate Standard videos per plan. Failed renders refund in full, so only finished videos consume the budget.
- Starter, $20: 30 credits, about 3 videos.
- Daily, $35: 60 credits, about 6 videos.
- Double, $59: 120 credits, about 12 videos.
- Studio, $149: 350 credits, about 35 videos.
Compared with the alternatives
Freelance editors typically charge $150 to $300 per finished video plus revision rounds. Doing it yourself costs hours per video in scripting, voicing, and editing.
A credit plan replaces both with a fixed monthly number, and signup includes 10 free credits with no card required.
Questions, answered
What is the cheapest way to test a niche?
Signup includes 10 free credits, enough for a first Standard video. The Starter plan at $20 per month then covers about three videos.
Do failed renders cost credits?
No. Failed renders refund in full automatically, so only finished videos consume the budget.
Can I buy extra credits mid-month?
Yes. Top-ups cost $0.60 per credit on top of any plan.
Which plan fits daily posting?
Daily posting at Standard tier needs roughly 300 credits a month. The Double plan at $59 covers about 12 videos; pair it with top-ups or step up to Studio for a full daily habit.
