1. Choose a launch target
Pick Starter, Pro, or a campaign top-up by expected product video volume. The public price is a target, not an automated checkout link.
Credit-based pricing
Credits for product video testing, not unlimited free generation
ClipVela now shows launch credits, estimated video counts, and pre-release pricing conclusions before automated checkout is opened.
2026-05-17 cost sheet basis
The 2026-05-17 cost sheet uses conservative 720p provider costs, not only the low-cost fal.ai smoke-test path.
The launch estimate is about 13 credits per product video, with the final cost still shown before generation.
Failed provider jobs are designed to write refund entries back to the credit ledger.
Launch mix75% 5s TikTok Ad + 25% 8s UGC/Unboxing
Planning unitAbout 13 credits and $0.805 provider cost per launch video
Payment reserve7% of revenue for payment and payout fees
Margin target40-45% gross margin before public checkout
Provider cost guardrail
- Standard launch counts exclude premium/high-cost paths such as Kie.ai Kling until a separate credit charge is approved.
- Kie.ai Kling 2.6 smoke testing observed 55 Kie provider credits for one 5s image-to-video run.
- Kling remains an alternative connector with production generation locked while cash cost, app credits, and refunds are recalibrated.
Paid beta handoff
Manual payment guidance while checkout stays private
Automatic checkout remains behind the release gate. Public pricing CTAs route to contact so product scope, credits, delivery, and manual payment can be confirmed before work starts.
2. Send a short brief
Use contact with product type, channel, template, and required claims. ClipVela confirms delivery scope before any manual payment.
3. Keep outputs private
Paid beta delivery stays private in the account unless the user explicitly opts in to public gallery sharing.

Refund policyPricing FAQ
Does ClipVela offer unlimited free video generation?
No. ClipVela is credit-gated so video API costs stay predictable. Free users only receive minimal trial credits.
What happens if a provider job fails?
Failed provider jobs are designed to create refund ledger rows so credits can be returned instead of silently editing balances.
Can I pay before automated checkout is ready?
Yes. The launch-stage fallback is paid beta with manual confirmation while public checkout remains disabled for final release verification.
Are these automated checkout prices live?
No. These are public launch targets from the cost sheet. Automatic checkout remains private until the release gate passes.
