Pricing Update: Preview Your First Animation Free, Then Pay Only for the Clip You Keep

We are changing how new accounts and animations are priced. The changes take effect on October 18, 2026. This post lists every change so there is one place to check, and explains the reasoning.

What changes

Welcome bonus: 5 credits, valid for 24 hours. New accounts used to receive 10 credits with no expiry. From October 18 a new account receives 5 credits that expire 24 hours after sign-up. Your first image still needs no account at all.

An animation costs 25 credits. The AI GIF Generator used to charge 10 credits for a 5-second clip. From October 18 it charges 25. Image prices do not change.

Your first animation is free to preview. Instead of spending credits up front, your first animation renders at no charge as a low-resolution, watermarked preview. You watch the result first. If you want it, you unlock the full-resolution MP4 and GIF:

• $0.99 (¥6.9) for this one clip, available for 10 minutes after the preview is ready. Your welcome credits count toward it.
• $1.49 (¥9.9) for the 50-credit trial pack, which covers this clip and one more within 30 days.
• 25 credits from your balance if you already have them.

After the first one, animations are charged 25 credits at generation time as before. The preview is one per account; a failed generation returns it.

Existing welcome credits. Unused welcome credits granted before October 18 expire 24 hours after the change. Purchased credits keep their original terms.

What does not change

• Credit packs: 50 credits for $1.49 / ¥9.9 (30 days), 200 for $4.49 / ¥29.9 (60 days), 600 for $9.99 / ¥69.9 (180 days).
• Subscriptions: 800, 2,000 and 6,000 credits per month at the same prices.
• Image prices per model and resolution.
• Failed generations are never charged.
• Alipay, WeChat Pay and card payments.

Why

A 5-second video costs us roughly ten times what an image costs. Under the old numbers most new accounts spent their 10 free credits on one video and never came back, so the bonus paid for the clip and nothing else. We would rather let you see your own result before you pay a cent, then charge a fair price for the clip you actually keep. For images, which are cheap to make, 5 credits still buy one or two tries before you decide.

The current numbers are always on the pricing page. If you find a page on this site that still shows the old ones, tell us at the address in the footer and we will fix it.
