Pollo AI Pricing: Free Credits vs Paid Plans
On this page
Quick answer
Do not calculate a one-minute Pollo AI video from an old fixed credit table. Pollo’s current product aggregates many video models and modes, and its live catalog changes. Cost depends on the exact model, duration, resolution, audio, input type, retries, failures, upscale, editing, and shots that survive review.
Start with free access for a small test. Upgrade only after measuring cost per accepted second.

Record price, currency, billing period, tax, renewal, trial, credits, reset, rollover, top-ups, failed-job treatment, eligible models, modes, duration, resolution, audio, queue, watermark, exports, storage, rights, cancellation, and refunds.
Estimate a one-minute deliverable
Break the minute into planned shots. Run a representative sample with fixed prompts and references. Track attempts, failures, policy blocks, credits, latency, review, edits, upscale, audio, and accepted seconds.
Then calculate:
total tested spend ÷ accepted seconds × 60
Add subscription minimums, top-ups, tax, storage, collaboration, editing, and contingency. This estimate belongs to the exact model and date; changing models invalidates it.
Review input rights, likeness, trademarks, music and voice rights, model-specific terms, disclosures, privacy, and client or platform rules before commercial use.
Use the Pollo pricing cost guide for another cost surface and the AI video tool to continue by task.
Budget guardrails
Set a project cap, per-shot retry cap, and minimum accepted-shot rate before generating. Alert when a model’s credit cost, failed-job treatment, or queue changes. Keep draft and final modes separate so high-cost settings are used only after composition and motion pass at a lower-cost stage.
Reconcile the provider usage ledger with the project shot log. Stop if charges cannot be mapped to requests, if duplicate or failed jobs are handled unexpectedly, or if a required model disappears from the approved plan. Re-estimate the remaining minute after every major model switch. A low subscription headline does not protect a project whose retries and discarded shots grow without a limit.
Frequently asked questions
How much does one minute cost?
Use live model costs and your measured accepted-shot rate; there is no permanent single figure.
Are free credits enough?
They may cover a small test; verify current eligible models and restrictions.
What is the best plan?
Choose the lowest live plan that supports the tested accepted-output volume.
