Quick answer
Vidu plan names, prices, credits, model access, and billing can change. Open Vidu, select the actual account and region, and record the live checkout before committing a budget.
Calculate real cost
Use one repeated deliverable and record:
- model or generation mode;
- duration, resolution, and aspect ratio;
- live credits per attempt;
- attempts and corrections per accepted clip;
- accepted clips needed per month;
- watermark, export, queue, and rights requirements.
Then calculate monthly credits required = credits per attempt × attempts per accepted clip × accepted clips. Keep a retry buffer and compare total cost per accepted clip.
Plan-choice framework
| Option | Choose when | Verify first |
|---|---|---|
| Free access | Testing one representative shot | Grants, expiry, watermark, queue, export, rights |
| Paid self-serve | Repeat volume is measured | Credits, top-ups, renewal, models, concurrency |
| Enterprise | Governance or procurement drives the decision | Contract, data, access, audit, support, SLA, usage rights |
| API | Building a developer workflow | Separate API availability, authentication, pricing, quotas, terms |
Frequently asked questions
Are credits the same across every Vidu model or action?
Do not assume so. Read the live cost shown for the chosen model, duration, resolution, and feature.
Does a paid plan guarantee commercial rights?
Verify Vidu’s current terms and the rights to every input, person, voice, brand, audio track, and delivery channel.
Should Vidu be compared with Pika or Luma by sticker price?
No. Compare accepted-clip cost for the same production target. The Pika pricing guide and Luma comparison use the same method.
