How RefVid pricing works: credits, per-second rates and worked examples

A credit is the unit you spend on RefVid. Each model has a rate in credits per second of video, and a clip costs that rate times its length, any whole number of seconds from 3 to 15. The studio shows the total before you generate, so there is no bill to work out afterwards.

Credits are held when a generation starts and settled only when the video is ready. If it fails, the held credits go straight back to your balance; nothing is taken for a video you don't get.

Rates follow what each model costs to run: Kling 4 costs more per second than Kling 3.0 Omni, and 1080p costs more than 720p. Saving characters and products, and downloading your videos, costs nothing.

Kling 4 is the default and makes sound in every clip at no extra cost: 58 credits per second at 720p and 86 at 1080p. Kling 3.0 Omni is the lower-cost model: 31 credits per second at 720p without sound and 41 with sound, or 41 and 51 at 1080p.

Images are priced apart from video. Every account gets five free images, scene stills or extra angles of a subject; after those, an image costs 11 credits, and the studio asks before spending them.

Plans give a fixed number of credits every month, on monthly and yearly billing alike; yearly costs twelve months less 20%. Each month's credits add to your balance and stay there. Packs are one-time top-ups, with or without a plan, and pack credits never expire.

A single video is for one clip without a plan or a pack: you set the clip up in the studio and pay for it there, by length, with sound, 1080p and up to 3 shots included. Prices are in US dollars; VAT is included or added as shown at checkout.

Every new account gets 100 credits, enough for one 3-second, 720p clip without sound on Kling 3.0 Omni, which uses 93; the 7 left over stay in your balance. That is why the free clip runs on Kling 3.0 Omni: the shortest Kling 4 clip costs 174 credits, more than the grant.

Signing up needs no card, and the grant is one per person. The whole site makes at most 25 free clips a day; when they are gone, the studio shows a countdown to midnight UTC. A friend who signs up through your referral link gets 100 extra credits, and you get 300 when they first pay for anything.

In dollars: on the Basic plan a credit costs half a cent, so a 5-second 720p clip is about $1.45 on Kling 4 and $0.78 on Kling 3.0 Omni. In a Small pack a credit costs about 0.66 cents, and the same clips are about $1.91 and $1.02. Yearly Basic brings a credit down to 0.4 cents.

A product series of ten 5-second Kling 4 clips at 720p uses 2,900 credits: one month of Pro (4,000 credits, $20) covers it with 1,100 to spare. Drafting first is cheaper: a 3-second Kling 3.0 Omni test costs 93 credits, so a Small pack makes 16 of them before you commit to a final cut.

A clip you would make only once, such as a 10-second video with sound in 1080p, is simplest as a single video at $4.99, with no plan or pack left over.
