InVideo AI’s price tags look simple: $10, $30 or $75 a month. Read the small print and each number is per seat, paid a year up front, and spent as credits rather than videos. When we gave the free plan a 20-second script, the AI agent quoted about 350 credits, and that one quote is the yardstick this guide uses to turn InVideo pricing into dollars.
Why InVideo Pricing Takes Some Math
InVideo pricing has three moving parts: the plan price, the number of seats, and the credits each seat gets. On October 23, 2026, the public pricing page listed Starter at $10, Plus at $30 and Max at $75 per seat per month on annual billing, each with a “50% OFF” label (InVideo pricing).
Why does that need a whole guide? Because none of those prices tells you what a video costs. InVideo AI meters almost everything in credits, and a credit buys very different amounts depending on the model, the clip length and the agent tier.
We read the pricing page and InVideo’s billing help pages on October 23 and 24, 2026. We also use the numbers from our own free-plan test on October 21, 2026, where the agent planned a video and stopped at the price. If you want that story step by step, our walk-through of what InVideo AI’s free plan let us do covers sign-up, the plan picker and the agent chat. This page sticks to money.
A note on money of our own: Indie Stack Lab may add affiliate links to some tools later. When a link is an affiliate link, it is labeled, and our disclosure page explains how that works. We have no InVideo coupon code, and nothing here depends on one.
Here’s the catch: the cheapest plan is not the cheapest per video. The math in this guide shows why.
Key Takeaways
InVideo AI’s paid plans ran from $10 to $75 per seat per month on annual billing in October 2026, with 400 to 5,000 credits per seat each month (InVideo pricing). Credits do not roll over, refunds are narrow, and the free plan is a place to see the agent’s price quote rather than a place to finish videos. Use that quote to pick a plan, not the discount timer.
Quick Answer: What InVideo AI Costs in 2026
InVideo AI costs $0 on the Free plan and $10 to $75 per seat per month on annual paid plans, or $20 to $150 billed monthly, according to its pricing page on October 23, 2026 (InVideo pricing). Here is each plan in one line:
- Free: $0 with no card. Our account showed 10 credits per weekly period, 10 GB of storage and watermarked downloads.
- Starter: $10/month per seat billed annually ($120 a year), or $20/month billed monthly. 400 credits per seat per month, Lite agent only.
- Plus: $30/month per seat billed annually ($360 a year), or $60/month billed monthly. 2,000 credits per seat per month and all three agent tiers.
- Max: $75/month per seat billed annually ($900 a year), or $150/month billed monthly. 5,000 credits per seat per month, with 10,000- and 15,000-credit versions.
Which one should you buy? For most people starting out, the honest answer is the smallest plan whose credits cover one month of your real videos, with room for retries. The plan-by-output table later in this guide does that math for you.
InVideo AI Plans and Prices at a Glance
The InVideo AI pricing page listed three individual plans on October 23, 2026, with 400, 2,000 and 5,000 credits per seat per month (InVideo pricing). Every row in this table comes from that page.
| Starter | Plus | Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual billing, per seat | $10/month (was $20) | $30/month (was $60) | $75/month (was $150) |
| Monthly billing, per seat | $20/month | $60/month | $150/month |
| Credits per seat per month | 400 | 2,000 | 5,000 (or 10,000 or 15,000) |
| Agent tiers | Lite only | Lite, Pro and Ultra | Lite, Pro and Ultra |
| Seats for multiplayer editing | Up to 5 | Up to 10 | Up to 20 |
| Free guest seats | None | 10, with 190 credits each | 20, with 190 credits each |
| Seedance video models | 2.0 Fast and 2.0 Mini only | All Seedance models | All Seedance models |
| Premium stock footage | 100 | 200 | 500 |
| Storage | 200 GB | 600 GB | 2,000 GB |
| “Lowest cost per credit” label | No | No | Yes |
All three plans include the full timeline editor and the page’s “Professional tools” (color, audio and 3D). Plus and Max also list “Early access to advanced AI features.”
The page also turns credits into examples. Starter’s 400 credits appear as “160 Nano Banana Pro generations” or about 15 Seedance 2 fast videos. Plus shows 800 images or about 52 Seedance 2 videos, and Max shows 2,000 images or about 131. Those are InVideo’s own conversions for single model clips, not for full videos with voice, music and edits.
Monthly vs annual: what a year actually costs
Annual billing halves the list price, but you pay for the year up front. The page’s plan calculator spelled this out for three Starter seats: “$360 up front for 3 seats.” Per seat, a year looks like this:
| Plan | Annual billing, paid up front | Monthly billing for 12 months | Savings shown on the page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $120 | $240 | $120 |
| Plus | $360 | $720 | $360 |
| Max | $900 | $1,800 at list price | $885 |
Why does Max save $885 and not $900? Our reading: the monthly view showed Max with a “10% OFF” tag at $135 and the line “Renews at $150.” A year of monthly billing would then be $135 plus eleven months at $150, or $1,785. Subtract the $900 annual price and you get $885.
What if you commit and regret it? InVideo’s help center says a switch from annual to monthly only takes effect when the annual period ends, while a switch from monthly to annual happens at once and charges the full annual price (Subscriptions and Refunds). So the annual discount is a one-way door for twelve months.
Seats and guest seats
InVideo charges per seat, and it hands out credits per seat. The plan calculator says “credits are shared per seat,” and three Starter seats showed 1,200 credits a month. Plus adds 10 free guest seats and Max adds 20, each guest seat with 190 credits. Starter says “No guest seats.”
Can a team share one login instead? Not under the rules. InVideo’s terms say accounts “are personal and non-transferable” and may not be shared without written consent, while inviting people into a workspace is allowed (InVideo Terms and Conditions). Seats and guest seats are the legal way to add people.
Max with 10,000 or 15,000 credits
Max has a credit selector. On October 23, 2026, the 10,000-credit version cost $150 per seat per month on annual billing (was $300), and the 15,000-credit version cost $225 (was $450). The page showed savings of $1,764 and $2,624 per seat compared with monthly billing. Both versions keep the same $0.015 per credit as the base Max plan, so the bigger options buy volume, not a lower rate.
The 55% Off Countdown We Saw at Signup
On October 21, 2026, InVideo AI’s onboarding ended on a plan picker with a countdown timer and a deeper discount than the public page: “55% OFF JUST FOR YOU — ON ANNUAL PLANS — … promo code applied.” The Plus card read “2,000 credits/mo … $60 $27 per seat/mo, billed annually” in our test.
We closed it with “Skip plan picker,” and the offer stayed as a banner on every page of the app. Two days later the public page showed Plus at $30 with a “50% OFF” label. So the in-app price was $3 a month lower than the public one, or about $36 a year per seat on Plus.
Other offers on InVideo’s own site on October 23, 2026:
- A banner that said “Get an additional discount on premium plans after signing up.” That matches the bigger in-app discount we saw.
- A special offer of Nano Banana 2.1, Ideogram 4.5 and other image models “unlimited for 30 days,” marked “Applicable on all annual plans.”
- On monthly billing, Max carried a “10% OFF” tag: $135 for the first month, then “Renews at $150.”
- The Subscriptions and Refunds help page said “Annual billing gives you a lower monthly rate — up to 40% off on Max,” a smaller figure than the 50% label on the pricing page (Subscriptions and Refunds).
Does the countdown mean the price jumps when it hits zero? We didn’t wait to find out. Our advice: treat any discount as a moving target and compare it with the list prices of $20, $60 and $150. Before you pay, read the renewal amount on the checkout screen, because the second year is where a first-year discount can quietly end.
How InVideo AI Credits Work, Including Generative Credits
InVideo AI credits are one balance that pays for AI work: video generation, image and audio models, and agent workflows. The pricing page FAQ says credits work “like currency” and are “not for downloading content,” and that InVideo can “update credit costs at any time, without prior notice” (InVideo pricing).
What are “generative credits,” then? It is a phrase many people search for. InVideo’s current pricing and billing pages talk about plain credits. Its help center uses “generative media” for AI-made assets, as opposed to stock media, and says each generative video “consumes a specific number of credits based on its duration” (InVideo Help Center: paying extra). In practice, generative credits and credits are the same balance.
The rules, as of October 2026:
- Paid-plan credits reset every month on the day you subscribed, annual plans included, and unused credits don’t roll over (How Do Credits Work?).
- The Free plan quota resets weekly, on Monday at 12 a.m. UTC (Can I use invideo AI for free?).
- Video models charge by the second: “Total cost = credits/sec × video duration,” and resolution, video input and audio change the rate (Plan Limits).
- Downloads, edits to existing videos and manual timeline editing cost nothing (Is invideo Editor free?).
- The agent charges for thinking, too. In our test, the planning chat used about 4.7 credits before anything was generated.
- When a paid plan expires and drops to Free, its remaining credits are gone (credit rollover article).
One warning about the examples. The Plan Limits page says a quick Kling 2.6 Standard video “might cost 5 credits” and a Veo 3.1 4K video with audio “can cost 100+ credits.” The help center’s plans-and-credits article gives the same two examples at “0.5 credits” and “10+ credits” (Invideo plans and credits). That is a tenfold gap. Which one is right? We can’t tell from the pages, so trust the cost the app shows before you confirm each generation. For the credit cost of each feature, see our guide to InVideo AI’s features and what each one costs in credits.
What one credit costs on each plan
Divide each plan’s price by its credits and the ranking changes. These figures are our math from the October 23, 2026 pricing page:
| Plan | Credits per seat per month | Cost per credit, annual billing | Cost per credit, monthly billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 400 | $0.025 | $0.05 |
| Plus | 2,000 | $0.015 | $0.03 |
| Max | 5,000 | $0.015 | $0.03 |
| Max with 10,000 credits | 10,000 | $0.015 | Not checked |
| Max with 15,000 credits | 15,000 | $0.015 | Not checked |
What surprised us was the label. Max carries “Lowest cost per credit,” yet at list prices Plus and Max both come to $0.015 per plan credit on annual billing. Starter is the expensive one per credit: 67% more than Plus on annual billing. If the label is the only reason you’re looking at Max, ask InVideo support what it covers before you pay for the bigger plan.
Extra credits: packs, discounts and spending limits
Paid plans can buy extra credits when the monthly allowance runs out. The Extra Credits help page lists packs of $50, $500 and $1,000 or a custom amount from $5, with volume discounts that start at $50 and stop above $2,000 of discounted purchases per billing cycle (Extra Credits). It also says discount rates “can differ between accounts,” so the purchase screen is the price that counts.
Three settings on that page are worth knowing:
- A monthly spending limit, which defaults to 2,000 credits and can be set to unlimited.
- Auto-reload, off by default, with a trigger balance that defaults to 200 credits and a top-up of at least $15.
- A pause switch that keeps your balance but stops generations from drawing on it.
How long do bought credits last? The Extra Credits page says 12 months from purchase, and the plans-and-credits article says up to 12 months or until your paid plan ends, whichever comes first. But the How Do Credits Work page lists top-up credits as not rolling over and resetting each billing cycle (How Do Credits Work?). All of them agree on one thing: extra credits are non-refundable and expire if you cancel. Buy small amounts, close to when you need them.
What a Short Video Costs: Our 350-Credit Quote
Our one real price point came on October 21, 2026: InVideo AI’s Lite agent on the free plan quoted “around 350 credits” for a 20-second voiceover video with stylized visuals, light music and a text end card, while our balance was about 5.4. Here is what that quote means on each plan, using the October 23 pricing page:
| Plan | Videos like ours per month, per seat | Cost of one such video, annual billing | Cost of one such video, monthly billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 (10 credits a week in our account) | Not available | Not available |
| Starter | 1, with 50 credits left | $8.75 | $17.50 |
| Plus | 5, with 250 credits left | $5.25 | $10.50 |
| Max | 14, with 100 credits left | $5.25 | $10.50 |
| Max with 10,000 credits | 28, with 200 credits left | $5.25 | Not checked |
| Max with 15,000 credits | 42, with 300 credits left | $5.25 | Not checked |
How does that compare with InVideo’s own examples? Starter’s “~15 Seedance 2 fast videos” works out to about 27 credits a clip, and the plan calculator says “≈30 credits each” per Seedance 2.0 Fast video. Our full agent-made video, with voice, visuals and music, was quoted at roughly 12 times one of those clips. Plan around finished videos, not model clips.
Three caveats keep this honest:
- The quote came from the Lite agent on a free account. A paid plan, a different brief or the Pro and Ultra tiers may price the same 20 seconds differently. We didn’t test that.
- Retries cost credits. If you redo each video once, halve every number in the “per month” column.
- Starter can’t reach some of what you might want. It has the Lite agent only and no Seedance 2.5, per the pricing page.
The Free Plan: 10 Credits, 10 GB and Watermarked Exports
The InVideo AI free plan costs $0 and asks for no card; on October 21, 2026, our account showed 10 credits per period, 10 GB of storage and no licensed iStock footage. InVideo’s help center describes the free plan only as “limited credits,” so the 10 is what our account showed, not a published promise (Can I use invideo AI for free?).
| Free plan limit | What our account showed on October 21, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Credits | “5.3 / 10 credits — 53% used — Resets on 26 Oct” after the test |
| iStock footage | “0 / 0” |
| Storage | “0 / 10 GB” |
| Payment | “No payment method on file” |
| Upgrade note | “Free plan — Upgrade for all AI models, workflows, trends, avatars & watermark-free exports” |
What can 10 credits do? On paper, about four Nano Banana Pro images at about 2.5 credits each, which the help center says the free plan can make through Agents & Models. Our planning chat alone used about half of the allowance, and that was the whole budget for the week. Downloads carry a watermark on the free plan, per the help center (free-plan sharing article). The same article says you may share free-plan videos on social media.
Is the free plan useless, then? No. It is the cheapest way to get the one number that matters: the agent’s quote for your own typical video. If you need a finished file at $0, compare AI video generators whose free plans let you export before you settle on InVideo.
Free Trial or Free Plan? What InVideo Actually Offers
InVideo AI gave us a free plan, not a free trial: on October 21, 2026, sign-up needed no card and showed no trial clock, only the discount countdown. The help center puts it plainly: “Yes, you can use invideo AI for free without entering your card details” (Can I use invideo AI for free?). So a search for an InVideo AI free trial lands on the Free plan.
Could the refund window work as a paid trial? Not really. InVideo’s refund article says refunds are possible “within 7 days of the original purchase or renewal only if the subscription has not been used,” and it counts a plan as used once “any video or assets has been generated or downloaded” (Refunds: how to request one). Try the plan and you have used it.
A safer way to test a paid plan:
- Get a quote for your typical video on the free plan.
- If one month of quotes fits Starter or Plus, buy that plan on monthly billing for one month, not annual.
- Make your real videos, count the credits each one used, and only then decide on annual billing.
On Starter, that paid test costs $20 instead of $120 up front. It is the closest thing to a trial that InVideo’s rules allow.
Coupons, Promo Codes and Lifetime Deals: What to Trust
The only InVideo discounts we could confirm came from InVideo itself: the “50% OFF” annual pricing on the public page and the 55% in-app offer from our sign-up. We don’t have a coupon code, and this guide doesn’t link to coupon sites.
What about group buys, “premium” accounts or lifetime deals sold elsewhere? InVideo’s terms, last updated August 12, 2026, say accounts are “personal and non-transferable” and that credits, “whether free or paid, are non-refundable, non-redeemable and non-transferable” (InVideo Terms and Conditions). A shared or resold account breaks those terms. The same terms say that if InVideo ends your access for a breach, you are not entitled to a refund of fees already paid. That is a lot of risk for a discount.
The pricing page offers monthly and annual billing only. We found no lifetime plan for InVideo AI on InVideo’s own pages, so treat any “lifetime” offer as something to verify with InVideo support before you pay. If a one-time purchase matters more to you than AI generation, some desktop editors still sell one; our guide to Movavi’s plans and lifetime license shows how that model compares.
Black Friday is a common question too. The pages we read in October 2026 showed no Black Friday offer; the 50% annual discount was already running. Before you trust any code, run three checks:
- Does the discount show up on InVideo’s own checkout page?
- Is the price in US dollars, for the plan and billing period you chose?
- Does the checkout show the renewal price as well as the first payment?
The terms add one more protection: a price change takes effect from your next renewal, after advance notice.
InVideo AI vs InVideo Studio Pricing
InVideo Studio is the company’s template-based video editor, and its pricing page is separate from InVideo AI’s: on October 23, 2026, it listed Free, Business at $15/month billed $180 a year, and Unlimited at $30/month billed $360 a year (InVideo Studio pricing). Studio plans don’t use credits.
| Studio Free | Studio Business | Studio Unlimited | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yearly billing | $0 | $15/month ($180 a year) | $30/month ($360 a year) |
| Monthly billing | $0 | $30/month | $60/month |
| “No Watermark on Videos” listed | No | Yes | Yes |
| HD video exports | Not listed | 60 per month | Unlimited |
| iStock media | With watermark | 10 per month | 120 per month |
| Video length per video | 15 minutes | 40 minutes | 40 minutes |
| Background removal for images | Not listed | 20 per month | 40 per month |
Which one fits you? Studio suits people who build videos from templates and stock media and want a fixed number of exports. InVideo AI suits people who want an agent to plan and generate the video, and who accept a credit meter. Our test covered only InVideo AI, so the Studio column comes from the pricing page alone. Want a regular editor instead of either? Our picks for video editing software at every budget cover desktop and online options.
The Older Plan Names on InVideo’s Help Pages
InVideo’s billing help pages list a different set of plans from the pricing page, with Basic at $9/month and 190 credits as the cheapest paid tier, on the Subscriptions and Refunds page we read in October 2026 (Subscriptions and Refunds). Here is that table, with the seat ranges from the Plan Limits page:
| Help-page plan | Monthly price | Credits per month | Seats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $9/month | 190 | 1 to 5 |
| Pro | $30/month | 1,000 | 1 to 10 |
| Pro 2x | $60/month | 2,000 | 1 to 10 |
| Ultra | $80/month | 3,000 | 1 to 20 |
| Ultra 2x | $160/month | 6,000 | 1 to 20 |
| Ultra 3x | $240/month | 9,000 | 1 to 20 |
| Team | $79/seat/month | 1,600 per seat | 5 to 30 |
| Scale | $215/seat/month | 4,000 per seat | 5 to 30 |
Is that table out of date? Probably for new buyers. The in-app plan picker in our test matched the pricing page instead (Plus, 2,000 credits). If you subscribed a while ago, though, your account may still be on one of these plans, so check your Subscription page before comparing your bill with the numbers in this guide.
This split also explains why answers about the InVideo AI Plus plan disagree across the web. Some guides describe the help-page tiers, some describe older ones, and the pricing page describes Starter, Plus and Max. Go by the pricing page and your checkout screen.
How to Choose a Plan for Your Monthly Output
The right InVideo AI plan is the one whose monthly credits cover your real videos plus retries; using our 350-credit quote and one redo per video, a single video already needs 700 credits, more than Starter’s 400 (InVideo pricing). This table uses that yardstick:
| Videos like ours per month | Credits with one redo each | Smallest plan that covers it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 700 | Plus (Starter covers 1 only with no redo) |
| 2 | 1,400 | Plus |
| 5 | 3,500 | Max |
| 7 | 4,900 | Max |
| 14 | 9,800 | Max with 10,000 credits |
| 20 | 14,000 | Max with 15,000 credits |
Your own quote will differ, so redo this table with it. Then check the other things that push you up a tier:
- Need the Pro or Ultra agent, or Seedance 2.5? Starter doesn’t include them; Plus does.
- Working with others? Count seats. Every full seat costs the plan price, while Plus and Max add free guest seats with 190 credits each.
- Mostly images, not videos? Starter’s 400 credits cover about 160 Nano Banana Pro images, per the pricing page.
- Busy months now and then? Extra credits may cost less than a permanent upgrade. If you do upgrade, the help center says upgrades are prorated, so you pay only the difference for the rest of the period.
Canceling, Refunds and Cheaper Alternatives
You can cancel an InVideo AI plan at any time, and it stays active until the end of the period you paid for; refunds are limited to 7 days after purchase or renewal, and only if you haven’t used the plan (Refunds: how to request one).
To cancel a website subscription, click your profile in the top right corner, select “Subscription,” then “Cancel,” per the help center (How can I cancel my subscription?). If you bought the plan in the iPhone or Android app, cancel it through the App Store or Google Play. After the period ends, the account moves to Free, and the help center says the card comes off the account automatically.
What do you lose when you cancel?
- Remaining plan credits and any extra credits expire (Subscriptions and Refunds).
- Watermark-free downloads of videos you edit afterward. A help article says that once your plan expires, edits to a paid-plan video need a paid plan to download without a watermark (paid-plan videos on the free plan). Export finished work before the period ends.
- You can’t pause a plan. The help page says you can drop to Free and upgrade later, and your workspace and projects stay intact.
Refund requests go to support@invideo.io with your account details, and approved refunds show up within 5 to 10 business days, per the refund article. Apple handles refunds for App Store purchases. Note one more conflict: the Subscriptions and Refunds page calls refunds “pro-rated and usage based,” while the terms say InVideo does “not offer pro-rata or partial refunds.” Expect the stricter reading.
If the numbers don’t work for you, look elsewhere before you pay. Our guide to the best AI video generators for each kind of video puts InVideo next to other tools, and our explainer on how AI video generators charge and what they cost helps you compare credit meters across brands. For another credit-based tool priced by model, see our guide to Runway’s video models, credits and pricing. A dedicated guide to InVideo alternatives and a step-by-step cancellation guide are on our list next.
Before You Pay for InVideo AI: A Short Checklist
Before paying for InVideo AI, get one agent quote for your typical video and divide your monthly credits by it; in our case, 350 credits for 20 seconds told us more than the whole pricing page.
A short checklist to take with you:
- Did you get a credit quote for your own typical video on the free plan?
- Does a month of those quotes, plus retries, fit inside the plan you’re looking at?
- Are you comparing per-credit prices, not just plan prices?
- Did you check the renewal price on the checkout screen, not only the discounted first payment?
- Will you start on monthly billing for one month before you commit to a year?
- Do you know that bought credits expire if you cancel?
If every answer is yes, a paid plan is a fair next step. If not, keep the free plan for quotes and look at tools that let you export for free.
