How do Bonega credits work and what does a video cost?

Plans

• Standard — $9/month or $99/year, 200 credits per month, no watermark, extended mode, commercial licence included.
• Pro — $49/month or $499/year, 1500 credits per month, everything in Standard plus highest queue priority and priority support.

Credit packs (one-time top-ups)

• Small Pack — 130 credits for $10 (31 seconds of video).
• Medium Pack — 300 credits for $20 (1 min 12 s of video).
• Large Pack — 800 credits for $50 (3 min 13 s of video).
• XL Pack — 1500 credits for $90 (6 min 3 s of video).

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.

What is billed and what is not

• Video generation — 4.125 credits per second, rounded up, charged on the seconds generated.
• AI first-frame image — 5 credits.
• Uploading your own image or video — free.
• Downloading a finished video — free, and it can be downloaded again at no cost.

What this means for you

Credits make cost predictable per second, which suits a fixed brief and punishes open-ended experimentation. If you are exploring, generate short clips and extend the one that works rather than regenerating long ones. If you are delivering to a client, price the job in seconds at the published rate before you start, and remember that an extension costs the same per second as the original request.
