Credits & Billing

VidRush uses a credit-based billing system. Every video you generate consumes credits based on two factors: the visual model you choose and the reasoning effort level you set. Credits are deducted when a video completes, not when it enters the queue.

Credit costs per minute

Visual ModelReasoningCredits / MinNotes
Mini (Image)Low32Lowest cost. Best for rapid testing.
Mini (Image)Medium40High-quality image storytelling.
Pro (Video)Low44Video B-roll included, used more sparingly.
Pro (Video)Medium55The Standard. Maximum quality and video density.

Beta User Discount: VidRush Beta members receive an additional ~9–10% discount on all credit costs.

What credits cover

The credit cost for each video covers the entire production pipeline in a single charge: AI research, scriptwriting, voiceover generation, music licensing, stock footage sourcing, motion graphics, thumbnail generation, and rendering.

Using a Custom Voiceover (your own audio file) costs the same credits as AI-generated narration. The credit covers the full pipeline, not just the voice.

When credits are deducted

Credits are deducted when your video finishes generating, not when you hit generate or when the video enters the queue. If a generation fails due to a system error, you are not charged.

Re-rendering a video in the editor costs approximately 10% of the original generation cost in credits.

Credit renewal

Credits renew on your billing date each month. Unused credits do not roll over: they expire at the end of each billing cycle. If your plan resets on the 5th, remaining credits expire at midnight on the 4th.

If you’re on a yearly plan, your credit pool still renews monthly. Each month’s allocation is separate and non-rollover. For example, a yearly Pro plan grants 18,000 credits per month (216,000 per year). Unused January credits do not carry over to February. Yearly users benefit from a 20% discount and consistent monthly credit refresh.

Billing cycle edge case

If you start a video before your credits expire but it finishes generating after your renewal date, the credits will be deducted from your new monthly balance. This is expected behavior: billing is based on completion time, not start time.

Dollar cost per minute by plan

PlanCredits / MonthEffective Rate (at Pro Medium)
Starter2,000$2.72/min
Creator6,000$2.19/min
Pro18,000$1.95/min
Scale50,000$1.93/min

Higher-tier plans offer a lower cost per credit, so the same video costs less to produce. If you’re consistently maxing out credits, upgrading usually saves money compared to Pay-As-You-Go.
