Cheap isn't the only number

  • Standard quality renders at 360p to 720p depending on the model; High quality at 720p or 1080p, and it often costs more. The model picker shows both prices.
  • A credit costs 2¢ in a pack and as little as 1.3¢ on a yearly plan, so the same clip costs less on a plan.
  • Check how a model has been doing on the status page before a big batch.
  • Prices for every model are in the pricing page's table.

Do I pay for a clip that fails?

No. AITube holds the credits when a clip starts and returns them automatically if it doesn't finish.
