Credits explained
Vidu sells plans with generation credits and an API platform (API credits listed in search index at $0.005/credit on platform.vidu.com). Plan amounts and per-generation credit costs could NOT be consistently verified from official public pages on Oct 16, 2026 — do not rely on third-party plan tables; check official pricing.
| Model / mode | Rate | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vidu generation — per-generation credits not verified | Check official pricing | Estimate — see note | Check official pricing in-product before you generate |
Cost per finished video (before retries)
| Length | Cheapest calculable cost | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| 5s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | Check official pricing | Per-generation cost not verified — see source |
| 30s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | Check official pricing | Per-generation cost not verified — see source |
| 60s finished video (1 attempt, no retries) | Check official pricing | Per-generation cost not verified — see source |
Retries multiply this: with 2 retries (3 attempts total) a 30s video costs roughly 3× the table price. Use the calculator with your real retry count.
Watermark & commercial use
Watermark: Check official pricing — watermark rules could not be verified from the JS pricing page fetched.
Commercial: Check official pricing/terms before commercial use.
Plan traps to know
- Plan prices/credits shown on third-party sites disagreed with each other — verify in your Vidu account.
- Per-generation credits vary by model/resolution/duration — Vidu shows cost before generation.
- Calculator marks Vidu 'check official pricing' rather than guessing.
