Out of free AI video credits: what to do next
Google Flow gives everyone 50 credits again every day, and PixVerse 30 on its free plan, so waiting costs nothing. Hailuo's free pack doesn't come back, and Kling's arrive once a month. If you only need one more clip today, Cirrela sells a single video with sound for $1, with no subscription, but it isn't free.
Cirrela publishes this page and is one of the tools in it. Prices come from each tool's own pages, on the dates shown. We did not run a blind quality test.
The pick for each job
Wait, and pay nothing: Google Flow
50 credits come back every day on every account, and a Veo 3.1 Lite clip costs 10.
Watch out: They don't roll over, and non-subscribers may get no video from 2 to 5 PM UTC.
One more clip today, with no plan: Cirrela
One video for $1, paid once, with sound. Nothing renews.
Watch out: It isn't free, and clips stay short.
Staying on Kling: Kling
Top-ups at 66 credits per dollar, valid two years, or Standard at $6.99 for the first month, then $8.80.
Watch out: Its free credits come monthly at login, and Kling doesn't say how many.
Staying on Hailuo: Hailuo
Standard is $10.50 for 1,000 credits, and a Hailuo 2.3 clip costs 25.
Watch out: The free pack expires 3 days after you get it, and no free credits follow.
