Traps
- Audio is a rate bump, not free — V6 720p goes from 9 to 12 credits/sec (+33%) with audio on.
- 1080p roughly doubles the bill vs 720p (V6 silent 9 → 18 credits/sec).
- Fusion with video references is 2× the standard V6 per-second rate.
- Clips are 1–15 seconds each, so a 30s video is at least two generations stitched together.
- Finished-but-unusable clips are charged; refunds for failed tasks land only when the ledger shows them.
- API credits are separate from PixVerse consumer-app subscriptions — this tool covers API prices only.
- Official USD figures on the pricing page are rounded to 3 decimals; ClipCost uses credits ÷ 225.
Best for
Budget pay-as-you-go API video (V6 360p silent is #2 of 237 ranked rates) and short clips with optional generated audio — when you want prepaid credits instead of a monthly plan.

Verified from docs.platform.pixverse.ai/pixverse-api-pricing, text-to-video, billing and usage and FAQ — last checked Nov 6, 2026 ~9pm CT (225 credits = USD 1; same V6/V6 Max/C1 credit tables as Nov 5). If a figure says “check official pricing”, it could not be verified from an official public page that day and we did not guess it.
