InVideo's entry plan costs $200 billed annually, which works out to a $17 monthly equivalent, measured from invideo.io/pricing on 2026-08-23. That rate only exists if you pay a year up front.
What InVideo costs
All three published plans are priced as annual billing with a monthly equivalent shown:
| Plan | Monthly equivalent | Total billed | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $17/month | $200/year | 75 |
| Max | $85/month | $1,000/year | 390 |
| Elite | $900/month | $10,800/year | 4,250 |
The pricing page does not show monthly-billing rates in this state. Every figure above assumes you commit to twelve months at once. If you want to leave before the year ends, check InVideo's own billing page for the cancellation steps.
What you get for it
The page publishes credits, not finished videos. At the Plus tier that is 75 credits for $200 a year, or about $2.67 per credit. The page does not publish how many credits one finished short consumes, so it does not publish a per-video figure either. You cannot convert these numbers into a cost per video without information InVideo does not put on its pricing page.
The same money, elsewhere
| Tool | Entry price | What that buys | Footage source |
|---|---|---|---|
| InVideo | $17/month equivalent, $200/year, annual billing | 75 credits/month, unit unclear | Generation and stock |
| Revid | $39/month, monthly billing measured 2026-08-23 | Hobby plan, credit amount not stated on the read | Generated |
| ViewMade | $29/month, monthly only | 50 renders/month, $0.58 per render | Real archive footage |
Revid's Hobby plan reads at $39 per month in monthly billing state. StoryShort's price tiers are known from a third-party source dated 18 August 2026, not from its own pricing page, so treat any StoryShort number you see elsewhere with care.
When staying put is the right call
InVideo's strength is breadth. It generates video from an open prompt and mixes generation with stock footage, which makes it a general-purpose tool rather than a single-format pipeline. If your work is not vertical documentaries about real events, if you need to produce explainer clips, ads, or varied formats from whatever prompt you have, InVideo covers more ground than a tool built around one output type. Its Elite tier also carries 4,250 credits a month, which suits someone producing at a volume no single-purpose short generator is designed for. And if you already have workflows, templates, and habits built around it, the switching cost is real even when the invoice stings. A cheaper tool that does less of what you need is not cheaper.
If you do move
ViewMade charges $29 per month on the Starter plan, monthly billing only, with no annual option and no free tier. That buys 50 renders a month at $0.58 per render, measured from viewmade.com/pricing on 2026-08-22. Production starts after payment succeeds, not before. Each render ships with a media credits file naming the source of every clip, because the footage comes from real archives, maps, and charts rather than a video model.
<!-- faq -->Frequently asked questions
Is ViewMade cheaper than InVideo?
Not directly comparable. InVideo's Plus plan is $200 a year for 75 credits whose per-video cost is unpublished. ViewMade is $29 a month for 50 renders at a known $0.58 each. If one InVideo credit made one video, InVideo would be roughly $0.23 per credit against ViewMade's $0.58 per render, but InVideo does not publish that conversion, so neither of us can claim the cheaper per-video price honestly.
Why does InVideo only show annual prices here?
Because that is what its pricing page returned when fetched directly on 2026-08-23. The page displays monthly equivalents alongside yearly totals, which means the advertised low number depends on paying twelve months at once.
Does ViewMade have a free trial like Opus Clip's free tier?
No. ViewMade has no free tier and gives no signup credits. Opus Clip publishes a Free plan at $0, measured 2026-08-23, so if zero-cost testing matters to you, that comparison favors Opus Clip.
What am I actually paying per video on InVideo?
Unknown. The pricing page lists credits per month but not credits consumed per video, so the honest answer is that the per-video figure is not published. Any per-video estimate you calculate yourself rests on an assumption InVideo has not confirmed.
