Creatify Credits Explained (2026): 5 Credits per 15 Seconds, and the 2-Month Expiry

Direct answer

Creatify charges 5 credits for every 15 seconds of generated video (rounded up), so a 30-second ad costs 10 credits. Revisions cost 3 credits per 15 seconds, but are free on Pro and above provided you don't change the script, avatar, or voice. Credits expire two months after they're issued, and the free plan gives 10 credits a month (about two video ads). Paid plans start at Starter ($39/mo, 100 credits) and Pro ($99/mo, 300 credits). These figures were verified on Creatify's help center and pricing page in July 2026 — confirm the live numbers before subscribing.

Evidence used

• Per-second credit costs, revision rules and the 2-month expiry were read from Creatify's help-center articles on Jul 13, 2026.
• Plan credit totals and prices come from Creatify's live pricing page the same day.
• One vendor inconsistency is flagged in the article: a Creatify FAQ says 5 free credits/month while the pricing page and free-plan article say 10.

How we checked this

• We quote Creatify's own help-center wording and link the source articles; the per-ad estimates are simple arithmetic from Creatify's per-15-second rate, labeled as such.
• Creatify's affiliate program is one we're approved for, and we earn a commission on referrals — so we document the credit mechanics precisely rather than glossing the costs.

What a Creatify credit actually costs you

Generated video costs 5 credits per 15 seconds, rounded up. A 30-second ad is 10 credits; a 45-second one is 15. Revisions cost 3 credits per 15 seconds unless you're on Pro or above and keep the same script, avatar and voice.

Creatify's core rate is straightforward once you see it: "5 credits for every 15 seconds of video, rounded up," applied to AI video ads, avatar videos and AI shorts. The rounding matters — a 16-second video bills as two 15-second blocks (10 credits), so trimming to fit a block boundary saves credits.

Revisions are metered separately at "3 credits for every 15 seconds of video, also rounded up." The important exception: on Pro and above, revisions are free "provided that you do not change the script, avatar, or voice." Change any of those three and the revision bills as a new generation. On Starter and the free plan, every revision costs credits regardless.

Other tools have their own rates: the product-video tool bills 1 credit per image and 3 per video (premium models like VEO3 cost more), and a text-to-speech render is 2 credits. The exact cost for any specific job is shown at render time, which is the only place you see the premium-model surcharges before committing.

How many ads each plan really buys

At 5 credits per 15 seconds, the free plan's 10 credits make about two 15-second ads a month. Starter's 100 credits make roughly twenty; Pro's 300 credits about sixty — before any revisions eat into the total.

Translating credits into output: the free plan gives 10 credits a month, which Creatify describes as about two video ads or twenty image ads, exported with a watermark and locked to 9:16. Starter ($39/mo) provides 100 credits — roughly twenty 15-second ads — and Pro ($99/mo) provides 300, around sixty, with higher tiers scaling to 5,000 credits.

Those counts assume no revisions. On Starter, where revisions cost 3 credits per 15 seconds, a workflow with two revisions per ad meaningfully cuts the real number of finished ads. On Pro, same-script revisions are free, which is often the actual reason to step up from Starter rather than the raw credit increase.

One inconsistency to note if you're comparing sources: a Creatify FAQ article says the free plan gives "5 free credits every month," while both the pricing page and the dedicated free-plan article say 10. We've used 10, matching the two authoritative pages, but it's worth confirming on your own account.

The 2-month expiry and what happens when you switch plans

Creatify credits expire two months after they're issued, so unused credits from a given month don't accumulate indefinitely. When you change plans, unused credits stay available through the new billing cycle.

The expiry clause is easy to miss because it's not on the pricing page: Creatify's free-plan and FAQ articles state that credits "are valid for two months," after which they expire. In practice that means about a month of rollover headroom — a given month's credits carry into the next month but then lapse, so stockpiling credits for a big future project doesn't work.

Switching plans is handled more generously: "All unused credits from your previous plan will remain available through the new billing cycle." Cancellation follows the usual pattern — your plan stays active until the end of the current billing cycle, and auto-renew is on by default. Creatify also maintains a separate no-refund policy, so the credit expiry and the refund stance together make the free plan the right place to test your real ad volume before committing.
