How do Bonega credits work and what does a video cost?
Credits buy seconds of video. Every generation costs 4.125 credits per second, rounded up, so a 5-second clip costs 21 credits and a 15-second clip costs 62. Standard is $9/month for 200 credits (48 seconds of video); Pro is $49/month for 1500 credits (6 min 3 s). Credits reset with each billing period and can be topped up with one-time packs. Generating a first-frame image with AI costs 5 credits.

The trial, precisely
There is no free tier. Access starts with a 3-day trial that requires a card and charges nothing on the day you start it. On Standard the trial grants 63 credits, released as 21 + 21 + 21 across the 3 days so that each day funds at least one usable clip; on Pro it grants 125, as 45 + 40 + 40. Cancelling before the end of the trial means you are never billed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does one second of AI video cost?
4.125 credits per second, rounded up to a whole credit. A 5-second clip is 21 credits, a 10-second clip is 42.
Is there a free plan?
No. Bonega has two paid plans, Standard at $9/month and Pro at $49/month, and a 3-day card-required trial with 63 credits. Nothing is charged on the day the trial starts.
Do unused credits carry over?
Monthly plan credits do not: each billing period RESETS the subscription balance to the plan's allowance, so unused plan credits are not carried forward. Credits bought as a one-time pack are held separately, are added on top of the monthly allowance, and are not reset.
