How Advinky credits work — what an ad actually costs
The subscription figures below come from the same pricing table as the website’s plan cards. Review the selected plan, billing interval, credit allowance and final amount at checkout before subscribing.
How credits measure usage
Credits are how Advinky meters AI usage. Each plan includes a set number of credits every billing cycle, listed below, and each paid step uses some of them. Credits are units of usage, not money, and have no cash value. Review the estimated credit use before starting a paid step.
Paid AI work can include Brand DNA extraction, brief and script processing, image generation and video rendering. Reviewing an existing Brand DNA, browsing the library, and adjusting existing clips in the editor do not themselves generate new media.
What things cost
Costs depend on the model, duration, resolution and generation steps. The figures below are base-media estimates, except Brand DNA setup. Brief, script, reference processing and other AI steps can add to the total; review the estimate for your settings before confirming.
| What | From (credits) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brand DNA setup | 40 | One-off per brand — several model passes over your site and assets |
| Still image ad | 7 | Base output and estimated input processing; references can add cost |
| Carousel (3 slides) | 27 | Slide 1, then two slides styled on it |
| UGC video (short) | 185 | Metered per second of rendered video; selected characters cost more |
| Video ad clip (5 s) | 63 | About 63 credits per five-second clip |
| Short film (2 × 5 s) | 126 | The minimum shot count |
These estimates are not fixed prices for a finished campaign. Longer videos, higher resolutions, reference assets and extra revisions can increase the total.
Failed or cancelled work
A workflow can contain several paid steps. If a later render fails or you stop a job, work already completed may still consume credits. Cancellation is not a promise that every earlier charge will be reversed.
If a service fault appears to have consumed credits incorrectly, email hello@advinky.com with the project or run reference. We can review the usage and restore incorrectly consumed credits. Credit adjustments and refunds of a payment are separate: see the Refund & Cancellation Policy for purchase eligibility and service-failure remedies.
How plans grant credits
Choose Starter, Regular, Growth or Pro. The current prices and credit allowances are below. All amounts are in USD; applicable taxes are shown at checkout.
| Plan | Weekly billing | Monthly billing | Yearly billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Not offered | $9 / month 800 credits / month | $108 billed yearly $9 / month equivalent 800 credits added monthly |
| Regular | $5 / week 400 credits / week | $19 / month 1,700 credits / month | $228 billed yearly $19 / month equivalent 1,700 credits added monthly |

Yearly plans charge the full annual total upfront and allocate credits monthly. Growth and Pro have a lower monthly equivalent with yearly billing; Starter and Regular have the same monthly equivalent. Weekly plans are available for Regular, Growth and Pro, with their own weekly allowances. Subscriptions renew until cancelled.
Creating an account does not include a universal free-generation allowance. Paid generation needs sufficient credits. Any promotional credits, if offered, are subject to the specific offer and the balance shown in your workspace.
Credits roll over
A quiet month is not a lost month. Unused credits stay in your balance, and the next allowance is added on top. There is no "use it or lose it".
One balance per workspace
Credits and billing belong to the workspace, not to a person. A workspace can hold several brands and several people — owners, admins, members — and they all draw from one balance. Check the shared balance before starting paid work.
Why price this way
Different formats and models use different amounts of AI work. A shared credit balance lets you choose how to spend your allowance across them. Use the plan table and the estimate for each paid step to plan your budget.
Questions people ask
Do unused Advinky credits expire at the end of the month?
No. Unused credits roll over and stay in the workspace balance. The new monthly allowance is added to what is already there rather than replacing it, so a quiet month is never lost.
What happens to my credits if a generation fails?
A failed or cancelled job does not guarantee that every earlier step is free. Review the recorded usage and contact hello@advinky.com with the project reference if you believe credits were charged incorrectly. Service-fault charges are reviewed under the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes, at any time from the billing page. An upgrade applies immediately and its allowance is added to your balance. A downgrade or cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, so you keep what you paid for. Payments are handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record.
