We add up every pack you have ever bought: two Creator packs open the same options as one Studio pack. An option never locks again once it is open, and refunded packs are left out of the count.
There are two ways to pay: a card, or USDC on the Base network. For card payments, Anyway is our merchant of record and is listed as the seller on your receipt. USDC goes through Anyway's crypto checkout directly into our wallet, and the USDC amount matches the USD price. We charge nothing extra at checkout; the only possible add-on is your wallet's network fee. Credit rules are part of the terms of service, and the refund policy covers the 7-day window, what qualifies and how long a refund takes.
How credits work
Everything on this site is paid for with credits. You buy them in packs, they land on your balance, and each video takes a set number of them depending on the quality and length you choose: 110 credits for the shortest 480p clip and up to 330 credits for a 15-second 720p video. The price of a video does not change with the number of people in it, so filling all 5 seats costs the same as filling one.
Credits are only taken once your photos have passed the automatic content check and the video starts rendering. If a photo is turned away, nothing is charged. If the video fails to render, or the finished clip does not pass the second check, the credits go straight back to your balance without you having to ask. There are no free credits, trials or sign-up bonuses: a pack is the only way to get credits, and the account page shows every credit you have received and spent.
Which pack fits you
- Starter ($9.99) is for trying the trend once or twice. It covers 480p videos in both lengths, which already look fine on a phone screen, but it never opens 720p on its own.
- Creator ($19.99) is the pack most people pick. It opens 10-second 720p, the sharper version that holds up better when someone zooms in on a face, and it leaves enough credits to try a few different casts.
- Studio ($49.99) is for groups that want the full 15-second clip in 720p, or for anyone planning several versions: one for the team chat, one for the family and one with the dog on lead vocals.
What each pack turns into
Counting only the options a single pack opens by itself, this is how far each one goes:
- Starter, 380 credits for $9.99: 3 videos at 480p · 10 s, or 2 videos at 480p · 15 s. Whatever is left over stays on your balance for the next video.
- Creator, 810 credits for $19.99: 7 videos at 480p · 10 s, or 4 videos at 480p · 15 s, or 3 videos at 720p · 10 s. Whatever is left over stays on your balance for the next video.
- Studio, 2,190 credits for $49.99: 19 videos at 480p · 10 s, or 13 videos at 480p · 15 s, or 9 videos at 720p · 10 s, or 6 videos at 720p · 15 s. Whatever is left over stays on your balance for the next video.
You do not have to use a pack on one kind of video. Credits from every pack sit in a single balance, so you can make a short 480p test first, check that the faces came out the way you hoped, and then spend the rest on the longer or sharper version.
Unlocking 720p, step by step
Quality is unlocked by what you have bought in total, not by the pack you happen to be spending. The Starter pack opens 480p only. One Creator pack opens 10-second 720p. 15-second 720p needs either two Creator packs or one Studio pack, counted across every purchase on your account.
A few examples make it clearer. Someone who buys Starter and later Creator can make 10-second 720p videos from that point on, and the Starter credits they still have can be spent on them too. Someone who buys Creator twice opens 15-second 720p on the second purchase. Someone who starts with Studio has every option open from day one. Once an option is open, it stays open, even after the credits run out and you top up with a smaller pack.
Paying by card or USDC
Card payments go through Anyway, which acts as our merchant of record. That means Anyway is the seller named on your receipt and handles the card payment itself; we never see or store your card number. USDC payments go through Anyway's crypto checkout on the Base network and arrive directly in our wallet, for the same amount as the USD price.
Either way, the credits are added to your balance as soon as the payment is confirmed, and the purchase shows up in the order list on your account page. Nothing is added on top of the listed price at checkout. When paying in USDC, your wallet may charge a small network fee, and a card issued outside the United States may have its own currency conversion fee from your bank; neither of those goes to us.
Prices, expiry and refunds
- Prices are listed in USD and are one-time payments. There is no subscription, nothing renews, and you are never charged again unless you buy another pack.
- Credits never expire. A pack bought today can still be spent next year, whenever a new version of the trend comes along.
- A pack can be refunded within 7 days of purchase as long as no credits have been spent since you bought it. Credits for a failed video are always returned automatically and are not part of that rule.
- Every video comes out as a MP4 without a watermark, whichever pack paid for it.
Good to know before buying
- You buy while signed in, so the credits always land on the right account. Google sign-in or an email address both work.
- Credits belong to the account that bought them and cannot be moved to another account. To make a video for a friend, make it on your account and send them the file.
- If a payment went through but the credits did not appear on your balance, write to us with the time of the purchase and we will sort it out.
