InVideo's credit meter is a GPU bill: the same video, priced 20x apart

Short summary

InVideo AI's $20/month plan fee is misleading—actual cost depends on credits consumed per generation, which swings 20x between stock footage (~2 credits) and premium generative models like Veo 3.1 or Sora 2 (~40 credits). With no idempotency discount on regenerations, a single finished premium clip can cost more than the entire monthly pool. The key budgeting metric is cost-per-finished-clip including retries, not videos-per-plan.

• •Credit cost per 30-second clip ranges from ~2 (stock) to ~40 (premium generative)—a 20x swing
• •No idempotency discount means regenerations charge full rate, making real cost depend on attempt count
• •Budget by computing credits-per-finished-clip including retries, then pick a plan with margin
