Understand Credits & Plans

One subscription unlocks the studio; credits are how you generate video. Here is exactly how billing works — and why nothing you buy ever expires.

CosmosBites separates access from usage. Your subscription unlocks the full studio; credits are what you spend to generate video. Keeping the two ideas distinct makes the whole model easy to reason about.

Credits: 1 credit = 1 second

Generating video costs credits, and the maths is deliberately simple: one credit produces one second of finished video. A 45-second short costs 45 credits. Best of all, credits never expire — unused credits roll over indefinitely.

Two subscriptions: Basic and Pro

  • Basic ($19/mo) — the full studio: all 7 styles, character consistency, HD export with no watermark, voice, captions and audio, full prompt control, and YouTube & TikTok publishing.

  • Pro ($25/mo) — everything in Basic, plus a discounted subscription rate, discounted one-time credit top-ups, increased reprocessing support and priority generation.

Prefer pay-as-you-go?

You can top up with one-time credit packs whenever you need them. They use the same 1 credit = 1 second rule and, like everything else, they never expire — so you can buy ahead of a busy month without pressure.

Pick a plan by how often you publish

If you are exploring, Basic is the place to start. If you publish regularly and top up often, Pro’s discounted rates and priority generation usually pay for themselves. You can cancel anytime, and your credits stay.
