PixVerse pricing in 2026 starts with a free Basic plan (a small daily credit allowance, watermarked, up to 540p), then Standard at about $10 a month for 1,200 credits, Pro at about $30 for 6,000 credits and Premium at about $60 for 15,000 credits, as of 31 October 2026. A 5-second PixVerse V6 clip at 720p without sound uses 45 credits (9 credits per second), so the real cost per clip is roughly $0.18 to $0.38 depending on the plan. If you would rather pay per clip with no subscription, Kenerate runs PixVerse C1, V6, v5.6, v5.5, v5 and v4.5 on one-time credit packs.
This guide explains each PixVerse plan, what a credit buys, how much a 5-second or 8-second clip costs at each resolution, and when the official app is the cheaper choice.
What are the PixVerse plans and prices in 2026?
PixVerse sells monthly subscriptions in its consumer app (web and mobile) and separate credits for its API platform. The consumer plans below are compiled from third-party pricing trackers (such as CostBench) that checked PixVerse's subscription page in October 2026. PixVerse's own pricing page wasn't reachable when we wrote this, so confirm the numbers at checkout.
| Plan | Monthly price | Billed yearly | Monthly credits | Max resolution | Watermark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (free) | $0 | none | Small daily allowance | 540p | Yes |
| Standard | $10 | $96/year ($8/mo) | 1,200 + daily credits | 720p | No |
| Pro | $30 | $288/year ($24/mo) | 6,000 + daily credits | Up to 4K (model-dependent) | No |
| Premium | $60 | $576/year ($48/mo) | 15,000 + daily credits | Up to 4K (model-dependent) | No |
| Ultra | $199–$249 (sources differ) | about $149/mo yearly | 25,000 + daily credits | Up to 4K | No |
Two caveats come up in every tracker:
- The free allowance varies. Trackers report different numbers (from 30 to 60 daily credits, plus signup credits). PixVerse's own blog says free credits vary by account and region.
- Monthly credits don't roll over. Membership credits reset each billing period, so a Standard plan that you use for only three clips in a month still costs $10.
PixVerse also sells one-time credit packs inside the app ($5 for 500 credits up to $100 for 10,000 credits, according to Magic Hour's breakdown), with bonus percentages for higher subscription tiers.
How much does one PixVerse video cost?
PixVerse bills newer models per second. PixVerse's own September 2026 blog post lists V6 at 9 credits per second at 720p without audio and 12 credits per second with audio, and notes that 1080p costs more. Its API documentation lists the same per-second structure for C1, with costs that change with the model, resolution, length, audio and reference mode.
Using those V6 rates, here is what one clip costs in subscription money, assuming you spend every credit in the plan:
| V6 clip | Credits | Standard ($0.0083/credit) | Pro ($0.005/credit) | Premium ($0.004/credit) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 s, 720p, silent | 45 | ≈ $0.38 | ≈ $0.23 | ≈ $0.18 |
| 5 s, 720p, with sound | 60 | ≈ $0.50 | ≈ $0.30 | ≈ $0.24 |
| 8 s, 720p, silent | 72 | ≈ $0.60 | ≈ $0.36 | ≈ $0.29 |
| 8 s, 720p, with sound | 96 | ≈ $0.80 | ≈ $0.48 | ≈ $0.38 |
The per-credit figure is simply the plan price divided by its monthly credits ($10 ÷ 1,200, $30 ÷ 6,000, $60 ÷ 15,000). The real cost per clip goes up quickly if you don't use your whole allowance, and failed or rejected generations still use credits.
How many videos does each plan make?
At 45 credits per 5-second 720p silent V6 clip:
- Standard (1,200 credits): about 26 clips a month
- Pro (6,000 credits): about 133 clips a month
- Premium (15,000 credits): about 333 clips a month
Add sound and the counts fall by a quarter (60 credits per clip). Moving to 1080p roughly doubles the per-second rate, and Standard stops at 720p.
Is PixVerse free?
Yes, there is a free Basic plan, but it's meant for testing. Free output is watermarked and capped at 540p (per third-party trackers in October 2026), and the daily allowance covers about one short V6 clip at most. If you need watermark-free or HD output for a client, an ad or a social account, you need a paid plan or paid credits somewhere.
Is the PixVerse API priced differently?
Yes. PixVerse's API documentation says API credits are separate from consumer-app subscriptions. The API platform at platform.pixverse.ai has its own balance and purchases, and its docs say task cost depends on "model, resolution, duration, optional audio, video-reference mode and capability". The docs also warn that credit values in the response examples are not fixed prices. If you're building an app, budget from the platform's live pricing page, not from consumer-plan numbers.
How much does PixVerse cost on Kenerate?
Kenerate runs PixVerse models in its AI video studio with no PixVerse subscription. You buy a one-time credit pack (from $15 for 1,300 credits; the Creator plan at $29 for 2,700 credits and up lists credits that never expire), and each clip costs a fixed number of credits shown before you press Generate. A Kenerate credit works out to about $0.010–$0.0115 depending on the pack.
These credit prices come straight from Kenerate's model settings as of 31 October 2026:
PixVerse C1 and V6 (billed per second, 1–15 s)
| Model | 360p | 540p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1, silent | 9 cr/s | 12 cr/s | 15 cr/s | 28.5 cr/s |
| C1, with sound | 12 cr/s | 15 cr/s | 19.5 cr/s | 36 cr/s |
| V6, silent | 7.5 cr/s | 10.5 cr/s | 13.5 cr/s | 27 cr/s |
| V6, with sound | 10.5 cr/s | 13.5 cr/s | 18 cr/s | 34.5 cr/s |
So a 5-second 720p V6 clip is 68 credits silent or 90 credits with sound, and a 5-second 720p C1 clip is 75 credits silent or 98 with sound. On V6, using reference video clips doubles the per-second rate.
Older PixVerse models (billed per clip)
| Model | 540p, 5 s | 720p, 5 s | 1080p, 5 s | 720p, 8 s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v5.6 (silent) | 105 cr | 135 cr | 225 cr | 270 cr |
| v5.5 (silent, +30 cr with sound) | 135 cr | 180 cr | 360 cr | 360 cr |
| v5 | 45 cr | 60 cr | 120 cr | 120 cr |
| v4.5 | 75 cr | 105 cr | 210 cr | 210 cr |
360p costs the same as 540p on these clip-priced models. PixVerse Lipsync costs 40 credits for up to 5 seconds, then 8 credits per second.
Is PixVerse cheaper on the official app or on Kenerate?
It depends on how much you make. Here is the honest comparison for a 5-second 720p V6 clip:
| Where | Cost per 5 s 720p V6 clip (silent) | Commitment |
|---|---|---|
| PixVerse Premium, all credits used | ≈ $0.18 | $60 every month |
| PixVerse Pro, all credits used | ≈ $0.23 | $30 every month |
| PixVerse Standard, all credits used | ≈ $0.38 | $10 every month, 720p cap |
| Kenerate (68 credits) | ≈ $0.68–$0.78 | One-time pack |
The official PixVerse app is cheaper per clip if you make PixVerse videos every week and use most of your monthly credits. A heavy V6 user on Pro or Premium pays a fraction of what pay-per-clip costs anywhere else.
Kenerate makes more sense when:
- You make a few clips a month. Ten 5-second 720p V6 clips cost about 680 credits on Kenerate (about $7–8 of a pack), and whatever is left over stays in your balance for next month instead of resetting.
- You compare models. The same credits work on Seedance, Kling, Wan, Veo and other models, so you can run one image through PixVerse V6 and Wan and keep whichever looks better.
- You want the cheap older models. PixVerse v5 at 540p is 45 credits for 5 seconds, and it is often good enough for drafts and vertical social clips.
- You don't want credits to expire. Monthly PixVerse credits reset; packs on Kenerate's Creator plan and up don't expire.
How do I keep PixVerse costs down?
These tips apply on any platform:
- Draft at 540p or 360p. Per-second costs at 360p are roughly a third of 1080p. Lock the motion and framing first, then render the keeper in HD.
- Turn sound off until the final take. Sound adds about a third to the V6 and C1 per-second rate.
- Use the shortest length that works. C1 and V6 bill per second from 1 to 15 seconds, so a 4-second clip costs less than a 5-second one.
- Start from an image. Image-to-video keeps faces, products and composition steady, so fewer takes are thrown away.
- Pick the older model for simple shots. v5 and v4.5 handle simple camera moves well at a lower per-clip price.
Which PixVerse model should I pay for?
| Model | Billing | Lengths | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | Per second | 1–15 s | Newest model; up to 7 reference images |
| V6 | Per second | 1–15 s | Strong all-rounder; up to 10 reference images and 2 reference clips |
| v5.6 | Per clip | 5, 8, 10 s (1080p: 5, 8 s) | Sound option, thinking mode |
| v5.5 | Per clip | 5, 8, 10 s | Flat sound add-on |
| v5 | Per clip | 5, 8 s | Cheapest drafts |
| v4.5 / v4.5 Fast | Per clip | 5–8 s / 5 s | Legacy look, quick tests |
If you're new to PixVerse, start with V6 at 720p and 5 seconds. If you need more control over characters, use C1 with reference images. For lip-synced dialogue on an existing clip, PixVerse Lipsync or the lip sync AI tool are the cheaper route. For a wider look at what else is out there, see the PixVerse alternatives guide.
Bottom line
PixVerse's subscriptions are good value if you generate PixVerse video every week: about $0.18–$0.38 per 5-second 720p V6 clip if you use your credits. If you make a handful of clips, want to compare PixVerse with other models, or don't want monthly credits to expire, paying per clip on Kenerate (68 credits for the same V6 clip) is simpler, even though each clip costs more. Prices here were checked on 31 October 2026, and PixVerse changes its plans often, so check the live checkout page before you subscribe.
