AI video pricing questions
How much does a TalkPix AI video cost?
Talking-photo and product-ad videos use credits by rendered length. The Starter pack is $10 for 120 credits, so a 10-second talking-photo or product-ad video is about 83 cents when estimated from that pack.
Do I need a subscription?
No. TalkPix uses one-time credit packs. Credits never expire, and you can buy more only when you need more video output.
Is payment required before AI generation?
Yes. Every studio uses prepaid credits — packs start at $5 and a 10-second 720p Talking Photo is about $1. No provider-backed generation starts before payment or sufficient wallet balance.
Does text-to-video cost the same as talking photos?
Text-to-video uses the same credit wallet, but both the model and the resolution change the burn rate. At 720p the models the studio offers range from 2 to 8 credits per second, and 1080p and above range from 4 to 31. The AI video studio and the pricing page both publish the full per-model rate table, and the studio shows the exact credit total for your settings before it renders. Trend templates that put a photo of a person into a Seedance 2.5 video have their own rate, 6 credits per second at 480p and 13 at 720p, shown on the template before you generate.
Start with a preview, then pay only for finished video
Use TalkPix for a quick proof of concept, product ad, landing-page clip, or text-to-video draft without committing to a monthly plan.
