Vidsly

No credits

An AI video generator that doesn’t spend credits.

Not a bigger allowance, not a cheaper credit. On our unlimited lane the cost function returns 0 before it reads clip length, scene count or image quality — we absorb the vendor bill for those two engines instead of passing it to you.

01Two lanes

One is metered. One isn’t. You pick per video.

We are not going to tell you nothing on Vidsly costs credits — three of our video engines do: Director's Cut and Seedance at native 1080p, Long Play at 720p. The difference is that you are never forced onto them.

Both lanes run the same pipeline in front of them — the same script writer, the same adult narration catalog, the same character consistency, the same music mix, the same MP4 at the end. What changes is the source resolution and who carries the render invoice.

02Why credits exist at all

Metering is architecture, not greed.

If your product forwards each clip to a model API, your cost of goods rises in a straight line with the number of clips your customers make. There is no pricing plan that survives that except one that meters clips. Every tool in this category that resells fal.ai, Runway, Kling or Veo is in exactly that position, and a credit is simply the unit they use to pass the invoice through — which is also why a credit’s purchasing power can change when the invoice does.

We are in that position too — for all of our engines, the unlimited lanes included. What differs on the unlimited lane is not who sends us the invoice but who pays it: we render at a 480p source (720p on Unlimited Premiere, Pro and Studio; 1080p on Unlimited Ultra, Studio), which is cheap enough per clip that we can carry it inside the subscription rather than meter it to you. The constraint we pass on is therefore a number of clips per day, not a currency — a limit we can state once and not reprice.

There is a daily allowance, and this is it. 20 clips a day on Creator, 40 on Pro, 60 on Studio, resetting at midnight UTC, with a 720p clip counting as two. A video needing more clips than the day has left starts now with what fits and finishes automatically after the midnight-UTC reset — over up to 5 days for a very long one. You never re-submit it, and it never costs credits.

Why we call this the only onesources · Aug 2026

In a live-sourced review of the AI-video category (dated August 2026), we found no other platform selling unmetered generation across a complete pipeline — script, AI voice, AI-generated scene visuals, AI motion clips, music, and assembly — at a flat subscription. Tools that do sell genuine unmetered or relaxed-queue generation (for example Midjourney’s Relax mode at $30–120/mo, or Higgsfield’s time-boxed 7-day Unlimited at $47–99/mo) apply it only to raw image or clip generation, never to voice, music, or assembly. JoggAI markets an “Unlimited Video Creation” tier, but it is an AI-avatar/talking-head generator with no AI scene generation, no AI motion clips, and no music — a different category.

03The free tier

Free is a narration trial, not a video trial.

Plenty of tools let you believe otherwise until the credit balance runs out mid-render. A free Vidsly account cannot make an AI video, and we would rather you knew that before signing up than after.

What it is good for: writing a script, hearing the voices, seeing the studio. The unmetered lane starts at Creator, $29 a month.

04Questions

The ones a burned buyer asks.

Is Lane A available right now?
Yes — Lane A is live and selectable today on Creator and up.
What does 'zero credits' actually mean here?
It means the billing code returns zero before it looks at anything else. When a job names one of our two unlimited engines, the cost function short-circuits to 0 — it never reaches the clip length, the scene count or the image quality tier. So a two-scene test and a thirty-scene long-form video cost exactly the same: nothing. The scene images are inside that zero as well, which matters, because on the metered lane the image is often the larger half of the bill.
Then what do the monthly credits on those plans pay for?
The other lane. Creator includes 40,000 credits a month, Pro 100,000, Studio 200,000, and that one balance pays for narration, standalone images and the paid native-1080p video engines. If you never touch the paid engines, the balance simply funds a lot of narration. Unused credits roll over for up to 90 days.
So some things on Vidsly do cost credits?
Yes, and we would rather say so on this page than have you find out on your second video. Three paid video engines are priced in credits because they run on third-party model APIs we pay per call. Narration is 1 credit per 10 characters. Standalone images are 100 to 1,500 credits depending on engine and quality tier. What costs nothing is a generation on the unlimited lane — clips and scene images — and that is the lane you get from $29 a month.
How is a no-credit lane sustainable?
Because it is not a discount, it is a different place to put the bill. Every engine in our Studio, the unlimited lanes included, forwards your clip to a third-party model API and we get an invoice per call. On the three paid engines we meter that through to you in credits. On the unlimited lanes we render a much cheaper source — a 480p source (720p on Unlimited Premiere, Pro and Studio; 1080p on Unlimited Ultra, Studio) — and absorb the invoice into the subscription instead — which only works if the volume is bounded, and that is exactly why the limit is expressed as a count of clips per day rather than as a credit balance.
Is there a catch?
Three, stated plainly. The lane renders a 480p source (720p on Unlimited Premiere, Pro and Studio; 1080p on Unlimited Ultra, Studio), and the delivered 1080×1920 file is scaled up from that source rather than rendered natively at 1080p. It is a relaxed queue, dispatched behind the paid engines, with an email when it lands rather than a progress bar. And there is a daily clip allowance of 20 on Creator, 40 on Pro, 60 on Studio, resetting at midnight UTC. A video needing more clips than the day has left starts now with what fits and finishes automatically after the midnight-UTC reset — over up to 5 days for a very long one. You never re-submit it, and it never costs credits.
Are there credit top-up packs if I run out?
Not as a pack — standalone credit packs were retired. On a paid plan you can top up with another month of your plan's credits, at the plan price, from your dashboard. Every plan from $4 a month includes its monthly credits, and the unlimited lane needs no credits at all. If your credit balance runs out mid-month, the unlimited lane keeps working — that is most of the point of it.
Can I test it without a credit card?
You can sign up free with no card. The free tier starts with 150 credits and then tops back up to 10 a day for your first 30 days — a top-up rather than a grant, so idle days bank nothing. That is enough to write a script and hear the voices, and it is not enough for a full AI video scene, which starts at 420 credits. Free is a narration trial; the unlimited lane starts on Creator at $29.
What happens if a render fails?
On the paid lane, credits are refunded automatically and idempotently. On the unlimited lane there is nothing to refund, because nothing was charged — a failed render costs you the wait and nothing else.
