Akool pricing

What one ad costs

Akool’s pricing page prints a credit rate for every feature. A credit costs $0.06 on Starter and $0.042 on Business, so the same 30 seconds costs 31% less on Business (Akool pricing).

Of the features in the table below that export a video, the talking avatar is the cheapest way to fill 30 seconds. A talking photo, where one still image is animated to speak, costs six times as much.

Method: plan price divided by its monthly credits, times the credits the feature uses. The table gives minimum charges (10 credits for a video face swap) but no rounding rule, and 30 seconds needs none.

A 4K avatar costs 10 credits per 10 seconds, double the 1080p rate. Starter stops at 1080p, so 4K starts on Pro. A streaming avatar, the live presenter that answers in real time, costs 3 credits per 10 seconds, so a minute is 18 credits.

1. Synthesia $0.43 to $0.95Starter
2. Akool $0.90 to $5.40Starter

Akool’s plan cards give no clip length for the outside video models it resells. Starter’s card says “200 Credits/mo = 20 Kling 3.0 videos”, which makes a Kling clip 10 credits, or $0.60 on Starter (Akool pricing).

What a credit costs on each Akool plan

A credit gets cheaper as the plan grows, and yearly billing cuts it further. Yearly billing prints its own rate on each card.

Starter costs the same on both toggles. The yearly cards of the other plans carry a “30% OFF” badge with no end date (Akool pricing).

Each plan also sells larger monthly tiers. Pro goes to 2,400 credits for $109 a month, Pro Max to 9,600 for $449, and Business to 80,000 for $3,000 (Akool pricing).

Prices are per seat. Each admin or editor you invite is billed at the owner’s plan rate, so a three-person team on Business pays three times $249 a month.

Is Akool free?

Yes, Akool has a free plan with no end date, and no separate free trial. Its exports carry a full-screen watermark and stop at 720p, with avatar videos up to 10 minutes.

The free plan includes 5 minutes of live face swap and streaming avatar time. It also gives text to speech 5 times in all, one custom instant avatar and video translation into 155+ languages (Akool pricing).

The free credits are stated two ways. Akool’s avatar video page promises new users 100 free credits, “up to 200 seconds” of 720p or 1080p video. A sign-up pop-up on the pricing page offers 20 (read 9 November 2026).

The comparison table shows a dash where the Free plan’s licence would be. Free-plan output in paid ads reads as unclear in our rights matrix, and the watermark rules out most ads anyway.

Akool API pricing

Akool publishes its API rates in credits on a separate API pricing page. API access starts on Pro Max, and the page caps concurrent jobs at 3 on Pro Max and 5 on Business.

Several API rates sit below the web app’s.

Video translation costs 1 credit per 5 seconds through the API, against 3 in the app’s credit table. The API page labels that rate a limited-time offer and shows no end date. A streaming avatar at 1080p costs 1.2 credits per 10 seconds on Pro Max and 1 on Business, against 3 in the app.

A streaming avatar minute through the API is 7.2 credits on Pro Max and 6 on Business (API pricing). The API page prints $0 per seat against both plans. It does not say whether API calls draw on the plan’s monthly credits.

Costs the Akool plan cards leave out

The first is expiry. Subscription credits end with each billing period and never roll over (terms 6.1). Only Enterprise plans may include credits that do not expire.

Credits and add-ons

Expiry Subscription credits are issued for the billing period shown in your plan. Credits that are unused at the end of that period expire and do not roll over, unless your plan or order form expressly states otherwise. Enterprise plans may include non-expiring credits where that feature is part of the applicable plan.

Credit packs For a one-time credit pack or credit top-up, you may request a refund within 7 calendar days of successful payment if no credits from that specific purchase have been used for a successfully completed task.

Failed tasks If a paid generation fails or is recorded as failed, we will return any credits deducted for that task to your account, based on the task billing record.

The second is refunds. Akool’s refund policy returns a first subscription within 7 days only if you used no paid credit, and never refunds a renewal. The same policy says to cancel from Billing or Manage Plan “at least 24 hours before the renewal time”.

The third is overdraft. Under terms 6.4, Dynamic Billing lets your account spend past its credits and charges your card, and those charges are final. Terms 6.6 and 6.7 also let Akool add fines and “additional fees, surcharges, or cost-recovery adjustments” for violations.

The fourth is the licence. Starter, Pro and Pro Max cards say “License: personal”. Business is the first card that says “License: business”. Moving from Pro Max to Business for that line costs $190 more per seat each month at monthly billing (Akool pricing).

Which Akool plan fits which job

Starter suits drafts and tests in 1080p, at the highest price per credit. Pro adds 4K and the translation proofread editor, and its yearly rate is close to Pro Max’s.

Pro Max is the entry to the API and workspace sharing. Business is the plan for ads. It is the first with the business licence and has the lowest price per credit of the base plan cards.

Stock avatars need Akool’s written consent for paid social ads on every plan, Business included (terms 2.4).

Terms of Service, 2.4 Akool Avatars

you agree not to use any Akool Avatars without Akool’s explicit written consent: (a) in Output (i) for “promoted”, “boosted”, or “paid” advertising on any social media platform or similar media; (ii) for TV broadcasting

What that means for your ads, and how Akool compares with HeyGen and Synthesia, is on the Akool profile. The swap itself is in the Akool face swap guide.

The price tracker sets Akool beside every tool in our database, and the AI ad cost calculator turns a per-video price into a campaign budget.
