Every tool on PopNow shows its price on the button before you generate, in credits. This guide explains what those credits are worth in dollars, what a typical clip costs on the popular models, and how to keep the cost down while you experiment.
Step 1: Credits and dollars
At the Starter pack rate, 1,000 credits cost $1. A clip priced at 185 credits is about 19 cents.
Step 2: Bigger packs add bonus credits
Larger packs include bonus credits, so each credit costs less. The $99 Pro pack includes 120,000 credits — 21,000 of them bonus — which works out to about $0.83 per 1,000 credits.
| Pack | Price | Credits | Per 1,000 credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $9 | 9,000 | $1.00 |
| Creator | $19 | 20,000 | $0.95 |
| Studio | $49 | 55,000 | $0.89 |
| Pro | $99 | 120,000 | $0.83 |
Step 3: The price is on the button
You never have to calculate anything: the Generate button shows the credit price and its dollar value for your exact settings.
Step 4: Quality and length change the price
Higher resolution, longer clips and more videos per run all cost more. Change a setting and the button updates.

How PopNow compares with fal and Higgsfield
The table compares the same model at the same settings. Our side uses the per-credit rate of the largest credit pack; fal and Higgsfield use their public prices, checked on the date shown under the table. A row disappears on its own when its price check is more than 30 days old or the difference is under 20%, so what you see is current.

How to spend less per clip
- Preview first. Use Quick try or the lowest resolution to check the motion, then make the final take.
- Draft on a cheaper model. Find the shot on MiniMax H3, then remake the winner on a premium model.
- Make one, not four. Generate one video per run until you like the prompt.
- Buy a bigger pack when you know you will use it; the bonus lowers every clip's price.
FAQ
Do failed generations cost credits?
No. If a generation fails, its credits are returned to your balance automatically.
Is there a subscription?
No. Credits come in one-time packs, and unused packs can be refunded within 7 days under our refund policy.
Why do some models cost more?
Each model has its own price from its maker, and higher resolutions and longer clips use more compute. The button always shows the price before you generate.
