PixVerse has one of the most generous free tiers in AI video: 90 credits to start, then 60 a day, which lets you learn for a long time without paying. The trade-off is a watermark and capped resolution.
Paid plans run from $10 a month (Standard, 1,200 credits, 720p) to $199 (Ultra, 25,000 credits). Credits reset monthly with no rollover. On the API side, entry is $100 a month with no free tier.
Imaginode hands out no daily credits: it sells access to over twenty video models at a printed price, with no watermark, purchased credits that never expire and an automatic refund on failure. Check it against your volumes with the calculator.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PixVerse free tier usable in production?
No per the 20 August 2026 records: watermark and capped resolution. You need at least the Standard plan.
What does a 1080p video cost at Imaginode?
It depends on model and duration, and the number is written on the button before you click. [The calculator](/calculator) breaks it down per model.
Can I use both?
Yes: PixVerse to rough things out for free, Imaginode for the final version without a watermark and in whichever model renders best.
Is Imaginode a good alternative to PixVerse?
For client work with no watermark, the choice of model per shot and credits that survive a quiet month, yes. If you are learning and 60 free daily credits with a watermark are fine, or you like PixVerse V6's multi-shot generation and native audio, PixVerse is a good fit.
