In this video I compared the real-world costs behind a bunch of popular generative AI platforms—because “credits” are one of the most confusing pricing systems creators deal with right now. I break down what you actually get for your money across sites like Higgsfield, Freepik, OpenArt, ImagineArt, Weavy, and Artlist, and I rank them from best value to most expensive. The goal is simple: stop guessing, stop overpaying, and pick the platform that matches how you generate (images, video, or both). I also explain the core “AI credits” problem: two plans can cost the same, but the credits can translate into wildly different numbers of generations depending on model, resolution, and whether you’re doing image vs. video. Then I get into the stuff that matters long-term—unlimited generations (and the fine print), credit rollover, and what happens when you hit limits. By the end, you’ll know which platforms are cheapest for volume, which ones get pricey fast for video, and how to evaluate any new AI pricing page in about 60 seconds.
