How credits work
Each AI video generation consumes one credit. Credits are required to generate videos — no credits, no generation.Trial credits
When you create a clarife account, you start a 14-day trial. During the trial — and only during the trial — you receive 3 free AI video generations.| Condition | Credits |
|---|---|
| During 14-day trial | 3 free generations |
| After trial ends | 0 (must purchase packs) |
| On any paid plan | 0 included (must purchase packs) |
Trial credits are one-time only. They do not reset or renew. Once used or once the trial ends, they are gone.
Purchasing credit packs
Credit packs are available for all plans, including Free.| Pack | Credits | Price | Cost per generation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard pack | 20 | $7 | ~$0.35 |
