InVideo AI review: credits, Plus vs Max, and who should pay $100/mo
Key takeaways
- InVideo / InVideo AI is a credit-metered AI video maker for social and marketing clips, not a full editor like Premiere.
- Free: limited weekly credits, watermarked exports (resets Monday 12:00 UTC per help docs).
- Plus: $20/mo ($17/mo annual) with 75 credits/mo. Max: $100/mo ($85/mo annual) with 390 credits/mo. Generative: $200/mo ($170 annual) with 800+ credits. Elite: about $1,000/mo.
- Credits vanish fast on generative scenes and revisions. Monthly plan credits do not roll over.
- Pick InVideo for regular social video assembly. Pick Kling / Runway when model quality for generative video is the main job. See Kling vs Runway.

What InVideo AI is
InVideo sells a production workflow: prompt or script in, templated or generative video out, exports for social.
Useful definition: a marketer-facing AI video studio with stock, avatars, and generative models behind a credit wallet.
What it is / is not:
- What it is: short-form and campaign video production with AI assists
- What it is not: a colorist’s timeline, a VFX suite, or unlimited “generate forever” for $20
- What limits it: credits + watermark rules on Free

Pricing and credits
Verified against help.invideo.io and public pricing cards (July-August 2026):
| Plan | Monthly | Annual (per mo) | Credits / mo | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Limited weekly | Watermarked tests |
| Plus | $20 | $17 ($200/yr) | 75 | Exploring / light publishing |
| Max | $100 | $85 ($1,000/yr) | 390 | Regular creators (often “most popular”) |
| Generative | $200 | $170 ($2,000/yr) | 800 (slider higher) | Daily generative volume |
| Elite | $1,000 | $900 ($10,800/yr) | 4,250 (slider higher) | High-volume production |
Paid plans advertise access to a broad model set (vendor marketing cites families such as Seedance, Veo, Kling generations; names churn). Treat model logos as “available inside the wallet,” not as unlimited native API access.
What credits actually buy
Help-center themes that matter for buyers:
- Plan credits reset monthly and do not roll over
- Purchased top-up credits can last longer while the subscription stays active (confirm live terms)
- Generative scenes and premium models burn faster than simple template renders
- Free weekly credits reset Monday 00:00 UTC
Takeaway: Plus is a trial of the workflow, not a serious weekly content engine once you lean on generative shots. Max is the first plan that looks like a real publishing budget for many marketers. Generative/Elite are for teams already measuring output per week.
Who should subscribe
Subscribe if:
- You need a steady pipeline of social/marketing videos without a motion designer
- You want templates + AI generation in one UI
- Someone will track credit burn the way they track ad spend
Skip or use Free only if:
- You need cinema-grade generative control (start with Runway/Kling research)
- You already live in Premiere/CapCut and only need an occasional AI B-roll clip
- You refuse watermarked drafts and will not pay Plus
