# Cirrela

> Cirrela (cirrela.com) is a web-based AI video generator for beginners. You pick a style, write one sentence or drop a photo, and get a video with sound. It runs the latest models from Kling, ByteDance (Seedance), Alibaba (Wan), MiniMax, Google (Gemini) and xAI (Grok Imagine) behind a single credit balance, so users choose a quality level instead of a model.

Facts checked on 2026-11-01.

Best for: beginners with no editing skills, on a phone or a computer, who want a short video with sound from one sentence or one photo, for social posts, a small business or fun.
Not for: anyone who needs free videos they can download, long videos, or frame-by-frame editing.

Key facts:
- One free video per person: 5 seconds with sound, no card. It carries the Cirrela mark, stays private until shared, and can be watched but not downloaded until its mark is removed for $2.99.
- After that there is no free plan. A 7-day Starter trial costs $1, with 38 credits, then the Starter price unless cancelled. After the free video, one more video also costs $1, paid once, with no subscription.
- The $1 video is a Quick video with sound. It stays public and carries a small Cirrela mark, which costs $2.99 to remove. Its price is shown in the buyer's money in 22 currencies, with Pix in Brazil.
- Where a monthly debit is hard, mostly outside Europe and North America, a 30-day pass costs about $4.90 in the buyer's money, paid once: 200 credits, no mark, private creations, and nothing renews.
- Payment is by card, or Apple Pay and Google Pay where the device offers them, on Stripe's page.
- Cancelling takes three clicks from Plan and credits, with no email to send. Credits stay after cancelling, and what was made on a plan stays free of the mark.
- Every render shows its price in credits before it starts. A video costs credits by quality level:
- Quick: 18 credits, made with HeyGen Video (HeyGen)
- Great: 30 credits, made with MiniMax H3 (MiniMax)
- Cinema: 100 credits, made with Wan 3.0 (Alibaba)
- Every video level includes sound. Failed renders are refunded automatically.
- Paid plans (prices in USD before tax; EU prices are the same figures in euros, no VAT charged):
- Starter: $9 a month or $84 a year, 375 credits a month. For a few videos a month.
- Pro: $25 a month or $240 a year, 1,150 credits a month. For creators who post every week.
- Studio: $69 a month or $660 a year, 3,200 to 12,100 credits a month. For agencies and daily production.
- Paid plans remove the watermark, allow private creations and commercial use, and unused credits roll over.
- Credit packs, which never expire: 250 credits for $7, 800 credits for $20, 2,500 credits for $55.
- Formats: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 1:1 for posts. Up to 4K on Pro and Studio.
- Also: image generation, a film mode that turns one sentence into 3 to 6 shots, joining your own scenes into one film, reusable characters, captions and music, a REST API (Studio plan) and a connector for Claude and ChatGPT (every plan).
- Languages: English, French (https://cirrela.com/fr), and Portuguese (https://cirrela.com/pt) and Spanish (https://cirrela.com/es) for the first steps.
