What an Artlist credit costs on each plan
Method: each plan’s price divided by its monthly credits, shown per 1,000 credits, from the pricing page. Artlist publishes no credit price per model on that page. The last column divides the price by the card’s “up to” video count, which works out at 50 credits a video.
| Plan | Credits a month | Monthly billing (USD) | Yearly billing (USD) | Per video at 50 credits, monthly / yearly (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Starter | 16,500 | $1.21 | $0.73 | $0.061 / $0.036 |
| AI Core | 40,000 | $1.00 | $0.60 | $0.050 / $0.030 |
| AI Pro | 120,000 | $0.83 | $0.50 | $0.042 / $0.025 |

Yearly AI Pro halves the cost of a credit against monthly AI Core. It also adds a shared workspace for three members.
The plan cards count outputs as “up to”. AI Starter lists 330 AI videos or 1,650 images, AI Core 800 or 4,000, and AI Pro 2,400 or 12,000.
The counts imply 50 credits a video and 10 an image on every plan (credits divided by count). Artlist does not state a per-model figure, and no card names the model or clip length behind that 50.
Users meet a different figure. One reviewer wrote: “To generate a few second video with seedance cost me 8000 credits looool” (Trustpilot). At the monthly AI Starter rate, 8,000 credits cost $9.69; on yearly AI Pro they cost $4.00. Credits running out far faster than the plan figures suggest is a finding in 5 of 46 sources (Trustpilot, Reddit).
So treat “up to 330 videos” as a ceiling for the cheapest models. Price one clip on a premium model before you run a batch on it.
Artlist music, footage and Max plans
The catalogue plans license human-made assets: Music & SFX and Footage & Templates. Music & SFX starts at $9.99 a month billed yearly on the Social licence, which bars paid media (pricing page, stock catalogue tab).
Each catalogue plan carries a tier of the Artlist License. That tier, more than the price, decides whether the music can sit under an ad.
Max carries the whole catalogue, the Pro licence and AI credits. It costs $39.99 a month billed yearly with 7,500 credits, or $50.66 with 16,500. Max Business costs $399 a month billed yearly, with 180,000 credits and seven members.
Max at 16,500 credits runs $38.67 a month above yearly AI Starter with the same credits. That gap is what the catalogue and its Pro licence cost inside the bundle. What each licence lets an ad do is on the Artlist profile.
What Unlimited covers on Artlist
Unlimited comes with two plans on yearly billing only: AI Core at $23.99 a month billed yearly and AI Pro at $59.99 a month billed yearly (pricing page, read ). Neither AI Starter nor any monthly card includes it.
It covers a named list of models. AI Core’s 10 include Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 Mini; AI Pro’s 20 add Veo 3.1 Lite and Kling 2.5 Turbo.
Fast generations stop at 700 a month on AI Core and 900 on AI Pro; after that, jobs run at standard speed. AI Core runs four generations at once per user.
The pricing FAQ, read on 12 November 2026, says Unlimited is “for human use only”. Terms 14.19.5 bar “bots, scripts, scraping, unauthorized automation, account sharing, resale” on it (terms). Scripted batches of ad variants spend credits at the table’s rates.
Is there an Artlist free trial or free plan?
Artlist’s pricing page lists no free plan (read ). Its video generator FAQ, in a capture of 7 September 2026, lists free sample generations for new users and no time-limited trial. Two of 46 sources describe a free trial that rolled into a paid charge (Trustpilot, Trustpilot).
The terms mention trial accounts. Section 6.3.3 says Section 6 “does not apply to trial accounts”, and a subscriber with one “will not be entitled to any refund”. The terms do not say what applies once a trial converts to a paid plan.
Cancelling Artlist
Cancel “using the cancellation feature in your account”, or through Customer Support (terms 4.3, terms). The plan then ends “at the end of your current billing period”, and “you will not be charged thereafter”.
Timing is the trap. Section 4.1 renews you automatically “unless you notify us of your intention not to continue within 14 calendar days” before the next cycle. Cancel at least two weeks ahead of the renewal date.
Refunds are narrow. Section 6.3.1 refunds you only if you cancel “within 14 calendar days from the date of its purchase and/or renewal”, and only if you downloaded and generated nothing in that window.
Users feel both rules. Renewal charges they did not expect lead the complaints: 10 of 46 sources (Trustpilot, Trustpilot). Refunds refused after the window or after a download come up in 8 (Trustpilot, Reddit).
What you made keeps its licence. On the Pro tier, “you can keep using your Projects in the same media and monetize them forever, even after your subscription has expired” (section 2); new projects need a live plan. On Social, published projects may stay on your channel.
Where to compare Artlist’s cost
Envato sells stock and AI credits on one subscription; Artlist vs Envato and Envato pricing price the two catalogues side by side.
Higgsfield lists a credit cost per model, which Artlist’s page does not; see Higgsfield pricing and Artlist vs Higgsfield. Magnific pricing covers Magnific’s credit pool, and the price tracker row sets every Artlist plan beside other tools.
