We built this profile from public sources and didn't use the product ourselves. The price is what we saw on the day we checked, so it may have changed.

Who it’s for

Creators who will budget credits instead of a flat per-clip price.

Why we said Watch

What it is

A hosted studio for AI video and images. See the official page. This profile describes public documentation, not a Loaded Tokens hands-on test.

Who it is for

Creators who will budget credits instead of a flat per-clip price. The recommendation is scoped to that job.

The evidence behind Watch

The plan is the allowance. Gen-4.5, Aleph, and third-party models on the page do not cost the same number of credits. The source page is the receipt. No speed ranking or reliability score is implied.

Pricing and the catch

Free includes 125 one-time credits. Standard is $12 a month billed yearly. Pro is $28. Max is $76. Models spend credits at different rates. Public pricing or license checked November 7, 2026. Amounts are as stated on that page. Tax, region, annual billing, and extra usage can change the bill.

A sensible first workflow

Spend the free credits on one clip before you pick a monthly plan. This is a suggested evaluation, not a test we ran.

Bottom line: Watch the credit table, not the monthly headline.
