What InVideo AI really costs
InVideo's pricing page publishes a concrete rate we can work with: on its plan comparison, Seedance 2.5 at 1080p costs about 96 credits per 5-second clip. Take the Plus plan — $30/seat/month billed annually with 2,000 credits — and a finished 60-second video built from twelve such clips costs 1,152 credits, which is $17.28 of the plan at one attempt per clip. The cards show the same minute at two and three attempts, because generated clips are rarely all keepers — and note that at three attempts the minute alone would need 3,456 credits, more than the whole monthly Plus allowance, which is exactly the kind of arithmetic to do before choosing a tier.
$17.28
Per finished minute on Plus at 1 attempt per clip — twelve 5s Seedance 2.5 1080p clips at ~96 credits each
$34.56
Per finished minute at 2 attempts per clip — the realistic planning figure
$51.84
Per finished minute at 3 attempts per clip — beyond one month of Plus credits for a single minute
Derived from InVideo's official pricing page, checked Nov 2026: Seedance 2.5 1080p at ~96 credits per 5 seconds, Plus at $30/seat/month billed annually with 2,000 credits/month. Cheaper models and draft modes cost far fewer credits per clip; this is the premium-model rate, not the platform average.
What is InVideo AI?
InVideo AI generates a whole video from a single prompt. You describe the video you want — a topic, an audience, a tone — and it writes the script, records an AI voiceover, chooses stock or generated visuals, adds captions and music, and hands you a finished first draft. For faceless YouTube channels that is close to the entire production line in one step, which is why it is one of the most used tools in this category: the bottleneck for those channels is assembly, and assembly is what it automates.
The second half of the product is how you fix the draft. Instead of a traditional timeline-first workflow, you can edit with simple text commands — ask for a different opening, a changed scene, a new voice — alongside a full timeline editor when you need it. The honest caveat travels with the convenience: automatically chosen visuals sometimes mismatch the script, so serious channels still review and repair every video. InVideo gets you to 80 percent fast; the last 20 percent is still yours.
How InVideo AI works
- 1Start with a prompt that includes the topic, the viewer and the tone — 'a 5-minute explainer on compound interest for first-time savers' will always beat a bare topic.
- 2Review the script InVideo writes before anything renders; fixing words here is free, and fixing them after the voiceover exists is not.
- 3Generate the draft and watch it fully once, noting every visual that mismatches its line — this review pass is the job the tool cannot do for you.
- 4Use text-command editing for the big fixes (new hook, swapped scene, different voice) and the timeline editor for precise trims and timing.
- 5Spend credits deliberately: generations and premium models draw from the same monthly pool, and unused credits do not roll over.
- 6Export the finished video watermark-free on a paid plan, and keep the prompt — a format that works once is a template for the channel.
Core features
Prompt-to-full-video generation
One prompt produces the script, voiceover, visuals, captions and music as an assembled video. No other step in faceless production saves as much time as skipping the assembly itself.
AI script, voiceover and captions
The writing, narration and subtitling are generated as one pass and stay in sync, so a topic becomes a captioned, narrated video without separate tools for each layer.
Stock and generated media library
Drafts draw on a large stock library — paid plans include a monthly allowance of premium stock footage — alongside current generated models, so visuals can be stock where stock works and generated where it does not.
Text-command editing
Plain-language instructions revise the video — change this scene, rewrite that line, swap the voice — which keeps editing accessible to creators who never learned a timeline, with a full timeline editor also included on every plan.
Current generation models on paid tiers
InVideo's pricing page lists access to current video models that varies by tier — Seedance 2.0 Fast and Mini on Starter, the full Seedance line-up including 2.5 on Plus and above — priced in the same credit pool.
The free plan — the full truth
InVideo's free route lets you make and export videos, and our verified data is clear about the two conditions: free exports carry the InVideo watermark, and the free tier has no commercial licence. So free output is for learning the workflow and judging draft quality — the moment a video is destined for a monetised channel or a client, it needs a paid plan behind it, not just for the clean export but for the right to use it.
The paid entry has recently been reshaped: InVideo's pricing page now leads with a Starter plan at $10/seat/month billed annually with 400 credits a month, below the Plus tier at $30/seat/month billed annually. Whichever tier you land on, the free plan's role stays the same — it proves the prompt-to-video workflow fits your channel before you spend anything on it.
- • Free exports carry the InVideo watermark
- • Free tier has no commercial licence
- • Generative use on paid plans is credit-metered and credits do not roll over
- • Automatic visuals sometimes mismatch the script and need manual fixes
- • Premium model access depends on the tier — Starter excludes the top Seedance models

InVideo AI alternatives
See all alternatives →Pictory is the first alternative our page shows: it turns scripts, blog posts and long videos into narrated short videos by matching stock to each line — the better pick when your starting point is written content you already own. Fliki is worth choosing when narration quality and language range lead, with its large voice library and simple scene editor. Zebracat is built specifically for faceless short-form at social volume, with a workflow tuned to TikTok, Reels and Shorts rather than longer YouTube pieces. All three assemble videos like InVideo; they differ in what you feed them and how much you can steer afterwards.
Pictory
Pictory converts a script, blog post or long video into a short narrated video by matching stock visuals to each line of text. It is popular with marketers and faceless channels that repurpose written content into video with minimal editing skill.
Fliki converts text into videos with AI narration from a large voice library, matched stock visuals and captions. It is aimed at creators and marketers who want narrated videos in many languages without recording anything themselves.
Zebracat
Zebracat turns text prompts or scripts into short vertical videos with AI visuals, voiceover and editing tuned for social platforms. It targets marketers and creators producing faceless short-form content at scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is InVideo AI free?
There is a free plan, and you can export on it — but free exports carry the InVideo watermark and the free tier has no commercial licence. Use it to learn the workflow; publish from a paid plan, which now starts at $10/seat/month billed annually for Starter.
Does InVideo put a watermark on free videos?
Yes. Our verified data confirms free exports carry the InVideo watermark. Paid plans remove it.
How much does InVideo cost per video?
It depends on the model you generate with. At the premium end, InVideo's pricing page lists Seedance 2.5 at 1080p at about 96 credits per 5-second clip; on Plus ($30/month, 2,000 credits) a finished minute at that rate costs about $17.28 at one attempt per clip, and roughly double at two attempts. Draft modes and cheaper models cost much less.
Can I use InVideo videos commercially?
On paid plans, yes — that is the faceless-channel use case the product is built for. On the free tier, no: our verified data records no commercial licence for free-plan output, on top of the watermark.
Does InVideo have an API?
Yes — our verified data records API access on its top tiers. Check the current plan table for which tier includes it before building on it, since InVideo has recently restructured its plans.
InVideo or Pictory — which is better for faceless YouTube?
InVideo starts from a prompt and generates the whole video, including the script. Pictory starts from your script, article or long video and assembles a narrated video from it. If you have written content, Pictory's repurposing is efficient; if you start from topics, InVideo's prompt-to-video draft is faster.
