See the price first
Every paid generation shows its credit cost before it runs. Ask for an estimate for a whole project, such as a 15-second ad.
Never expire
Credits stay in your account until you use them. No monthly reset and no use-it-or-lose-it allowance.
Refunded on server errors
If a generation fails because of a server error, its credits are returned automatically.
One balance everywhere
The same credits work in ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor and OpenClaw, across every model in the catalog.
Yes. Creative Claw is a pay-as-you-go AI video generator: you buy credits ($10 = 1,000) instead of a monthly plan, new accounts get 100 free credits, and credits never expire. It generates video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni and MiniMax H3 Max inside ChatGPT, Claude and Codex.
Each generation has a credit price shown before it runs, for example 16 credits for a Nano Banana 2 image or 130 credits for a 5-second Gemini Omni Flash clip. Credits are deducted when a generation starts and refunded automatically if it fails because of a server error.
No. Credits you buy never expire, so a project you start this month can be finished next quarter without paying for months you did not use.
If you use a plan’s full allowance every month, a subscription can cost less per second. For example, OpenArt’s Starter plan includes 4,000 credits a month, about 50 videos by its own estimate, for $13–14. Pay as you go is cheaper when your volume varies, when you make a few videos a month, or when you need several providers’ models in one account.
A 5-second clip costs from 40 credits ($0.40) with MiniMax H3 Max Fast, 130 ($1.30) with Gemini Omni Flash, and 267 ($2.67) with Seedance 2.5 at 720p. Our finished 15-second product ad with voiceover and captions cost 461 credits ($4.61). Use the calculator on this page for your own video.
Yes. Every new account gets 100 free credits with no card, enough for two 5-second MiniMax H3 Max Fast clips or six Nano Banana 2 images.
Creative Claw has no plan or seat price; you pay per generation from your credit balance. Invideo, for comparison, prices its plans per seat.
