Scores are editorial product assessments — job fit, likely output quality, ease of adoption, and operational cost — not lab benchmarks, and no tool here has a published hands-on result. How we score.
Evidence status
Lite $19.98/month or $119.88 billed annually ($9.99/month equivalent, 2,000 credits a month); Pro $39.98/month or $239.88 annually ($19.99 equivalent, 5,000 credits); Ultra $77.98/month or $467.88 annually ($38.99 equivalent, 10,000 credits). The page states the yearly option as 50% off and the arithmetic is exact against twelve times the monthly price. One-time credit packs: 1,500 credits $29.90, 3,000 $49.90, 5,000 $69.90, 8,000 $99.90, valid six months, with 50% bonus credits for active subscribers. Subscription credits refresh to the monthly allowance and do not accumulate; failed generations release reserved daily credits and return charged credits. Free access: two generations a day for guests and 10 daily credits for signed-in accounts, with the default Seedance 2.0 Mini generation costing 5 credits.
Official sources checked 2026-10-21Submitted via form by the vendor 2026-10-22 03:38 UTC (2026-10-21 20:38 PDT); editorial entry written independently from live pages the same working day. Plan prices were read from the rendered yearly cards on /pricing, cross-checked against the site's own llms.txt, and the monthly-billed equivalents ($19.98 / $39.98 / $77.98) plus the four credit-pack prices were read from the shipped plan config inside the served Next.js chunks, because the Monthly and Credit Packs tabs of the pricing page render client-side and carry no figures in the served HTML. Free-tier claims verified from the public credits endpoint (/api/ai-video/credits returns dailyLimit 2 for an anonymous visitor) rather than from marketing copy. /privacy (last updated 2026-10-09) and /terms (2026-10-13) read in full; neither names an operator, jurisdiction or governing law, the privacy policy names no processor and no retention period, and GA4 G-GDTETMSPS7 loads on both policy pages with no consent control. Contact route verified before relying on it: gatsbyai.app MX is Cloudflare Email Routing, support@gatsbyai.app returned 250 in an SMTP RCPT probe while a random local part returned 550. Domain registered 2026-10-01 (Spaceship, Cloudflare NS); no checkout or purchase was exercised.
Plus is $30/month or $300/year with 10,000 credits; Pro is $90/month or $900/year with 40,000 credits; Ultra is $300/month or $3,000/year with 150,000 credits. Team and Enterprise are sales-assisted.
