What an invideo AI ad costs to make, plan by plan
invideo AI's pricing page sells seats and credits: Starter at $20 per seat a month billed monthly, or $10 billed annually, with 400 credits, and Plus at $60 or $30 with 2,000. A line on that page stops unspent credits from carrying into the next month, and the licence sits on the paid plans. As of 2026-10-13.
1Quoted lines this register carries
The register's line for this vendor, which has nothing to say about a free tier, beside the pipeline's own lines on what may be supplied and what a permission comes with.
- Entry pointCommercial use is listed on the paid plansno free plan offered
- Free tierNo free plan appears on the pricing pagenone offered
- Commercial useOutput is the user's to the extent the law allows, royalty-free and commercial use included, and output made with free credits counts as paid forgranted with no plan named
- ExclusivityOutput is not exclusive to the user, and a similar prompt from someone else can produce something recognisably similar
- Input restrictionOn a paid plan a photograph can be uploaded as a character's reference, provided the user holds the rights to itlikeness related
- Input restrictionDeepfakes of real people without documented consent are strictly prohibiteda real person's likeness
- A second set of termsCommercial use is also subject to the terms of the model services underneath, which the vendor does not control
- What the vendor may do with outputThe user grants a licence to run the service, for safety review and to improve quality on de-identified data, and content published publicly or submitted as a sample is treated as licensed for showcase
2The page prices seats and credits, not videos
invideo AI's pricing page sells a seat and a monthly credit allowance: Starter at $20 per seat a month billed monthly, or $10 billed annually, with 400 credits, and Plus at $60 or $30 with 2,000. One line on that page shapes how a production has to plan: an unspent credit does not carry into the following month.
A seat-based, expiring allowance is a different object from a per-clip price, and this register records it as the page states it. For a brand running two campaigns a quarter, the number that matters is not the headline price but how much of a month's credits a finished spot actually consumes, and that is a question a pricing page does not answer. The register keeps the price and the expiry rule, both quotable, and leaves the estimate where it belongs.
3The licence line, and the free tier that does not exist
The register's line for this vendor is the general form: commercial use is listed on the paid plans. There is no free plan on the pricing page for the permission question to attach to, so the free-tier column on this row records that fact rather than a withholding. A brand cannot accidentally generate a campaign on an unlicensed free seat here, because there is no free seat.
Read against the rest of the column, that is one of the cleaner arrangements recorded on this site: the cheapest way to generate anything is already on a paid plan carrying the line, and the register notes it as structure rather than as an advantage, in the same way it notes the vendors with a free tier that grants commercial use.
4The voice layer carries terms of its own
An ad built here also uses voice tools, and the tool for the voice is a separate supplier with a separate licence. The gathered material makes the point better than any summary: the counts for one voice service below run to 1,524 posts and 198 comment mentions, and the thread quoted under them asks why a platform demonetised channels using that audio.
The register does not adjudicate that thread and holds no licence statement for that vendor, so nothing is recorded for it above. What the row does establish is the shape of the problem: a cost sheet for a generated ad has more than one rights surface on it, and reading only the video tool's plan page leaves the others unread.
5What has to be cleared besides the output
The pipeline's own lines, quoted at the top of the page, list the things a brand ends up checking that no plan table mentions: a photograph uploaded as a character reference on a paid plan requires that the user holds the rights to it, deepfakes of real people without documented consent are prohibited outright, and commercial use is also subject to the terms of the model services underneath, which the vendor does not control.
One more line is worth carrying beside a campaign brief: content published publicly or submitted as a sample is treated as licensed for showcase. Together these are a clearance list that runs longer than any plan comparison, and every one of them is quoted from a published page with a date on it. Nothing here says whether a particular use is permitted; the register records what the vendors wrote.
6What each vendor's own pages state
| Vendor | What its own pages state about the price | What its pages state about credits | Pages read |
|---|---|---|---|
| invideo AI | Starter $20 per seat a month billed monthly ($10 billed annually), 400 credits; Plus $60 ($30), 2,000 credits | “Unused credits don't roll over to the next month” | 2026-10-13 |
| SceneMixer | “Analysis and the shot list are separate purchases from rendering, and nothing obliges you to render. People do use the pipeline this way — a script in, a structured shot list out, the footage shot conventionally.” | Not stated in the register | 2026-10-13 |
Inclusion rule. Vendors this page is about, plus the pipeline this register reads for its own working rows. A vendor's cell carries the wording of the page read; the pipeline's cell is one sentence quoted from its own guides. A point a page does not carry is printed as not stated rather than filled from the other reading. Order. Alphabetical by vendor.
7What the gathered threads counted
The name counted below is a voice service rather than this page's vendor: the checks a generated ad needs run past the video tool that assembled it.
| Name | Posts | Comment mentions | Positive | Negative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ElevenLabs | 1524 | 198 | 41 | 7 |
Inclusion rule. Names carried in the gathered material and read on this page. A post arguing with itself can land in the positive and the negative column both. Order. Descending by posts.

8When staying with the named vendor is simpler
- The licence line has no free-tier exception — With no free plan published, every seat that generates anything is on a paid plan, and the licence line is stated on the paid plans.
- The page states the expiry rule — Unused credits do not roll over is written down rather than discovered in a support thread, which is what a planning spreadsheet needs.
- Editing and footage live in the same plan — A full editing timeline, your own footage with 4K export and premium stock clips on Starter mean fewer separate suppliers to clear per campaign.
Searches for "invideo ai cost" arrive here; the register prices the plan, and leaves what an ad should cost to the reader. Two more reads sit beside this one: Pika's licence line and LTX Studio's personal-use boundary.
