Envato Elements pricing

What an Envato AI credit costs

An Envato AI credit costs between $0.15 and $0.20 on Plus and Ultimate, if every credit is used. Images, graphics, voice, sound effects and music take 1 credit per generation. Video takes 2 or more.

A 4-second video takes 2 credits at Low (480p+), 5 at Standard (720p+) and 9 at High (1080p+), per Envato’s credit update. Clips run up to 8 seconds.

The same sum gives each Ultimate row; extra variations or a longer clip add credits.

Ultimate 500 costs slightly more per credit than Plus. What it adds is room: 10 parallel generations against Plus’s 3, and two and a half times the credits.

The Ultimate card’s savings labels match its own prices. The 1,000-credit option is marked “Save up to 15% per credit”, and a credit costs 15% less than on 500. The 2,000 option is marked “Save up to 25%”, and a credit costs 25% less.

Core is left out of the table. Its fee buys the stock library, and its 20 credits work as a sample: two High clips a month. To cost a batch of ad clips against other tools at your own volumes, use the AI ad cost calculator.

Is there a monthly Envato Elements plan?

Yes. The plans guide says monthly and annual billing are “available on every tier”, and that paying annually saves “up to 50% on Core, up to 32% on Plus, and up to 35% on Ultimate compared to the monthly price”.

The pricing page prints no monthly price, and each plan’s button opens the yearly checkout. The plans guide gives the savings percentages but no monthly figure.

The “From” figure on each card is a yearly plan, billed in advance, so Core costs $198 on day one.

Envato’s refund article says subscribing by mistake “is not a basis for a refund”.

Users report the same trap: 6 of 45 sources describe meaning to pay monthly and landing on the annual plan (Reddit, Reddit). Support gets credit too: 5 of 45 sources call it helpful, including refunds on an annual plan bought by mistake (Trustpilot, Trustpilot).

Envato’s own refund article adds: “If you are unsure whether you need an annual plan, consider starting with a monthly plan instead.” Switching from monthly to annual later is credited: the pricing FAQ says the days left on the monthly plan come off the annual invoice.

Envato Elements free trial and free files

Envato Elements has no free trial, per its free trial article.

A free account can browse the whole library and download a set of hand-picked free files each quarter. Those files follow a separate Free Files Use Policy, which the article asks you to read before any commercial use.

Teams, students and Enterprise

An individual plan is one seat. The User Terms allow it for “a single real person or for a single seat usage by a company with less than fifty employees”, and the seat cannot be shared.

Teams go up to 5 members for companies under 50 employees. The pricing page gives Teams “up to 34% off compared to individual plans” and links to a separate Teams page for the prices.

Students save 30% on Core, per the pricing page. The User Terms limit the plan to students aged 18 and over enrolled full-time in an accredited secondary or tertiary institution.

Enterprise is required once your organisation reaches 50 employees, needs more than 5 seats, or buys through a reseller. You have 30 days to upgrade after passing 50. Enterprise is quoted by sales, and its card is the only one listing “tailored indemnification”: on other plans, you indemnify Envato.

What your licence covers after you cancel

Cancelling stops the next payment, and access runs to the end of the period you paid for. The pricing FAQ’s example: cancel a monthly plan 23 days before renewal and you keep access for 23 days.

What stays licensed is decided by clause 8 of the Elements License. “The license is only valid if you complete the End Product while your subscription is active.” A finished ad keeps its licence for its life; an unfinished one loses it. Each licence also covers one project: clause 4 asks for a new licence for each end use.

Elements License, clause 4

Use for a Specific Project This license grants you a non-exclusive, commercial, worldwide and revocable right to use the Item for: a. Use for a Specific Project - use of the Item in one project to create a specific End Product

The User Terms, under Post-Cancellation or Termination, add that you cannot use items in an “unfinished End Product (even if you have downloaded the Item prior to cancellation)”. You also lose your AI generation history. The Envato profile covers what the AI terms let you keep, and the AI commercial use table sets Envato’s rights beside other tools’.

Refunds and credit expiry

Payments do not come back. The User Terms say: “Except as required under applicable law, or as assessed in accordance with section 40, all subscription payments are non-refundable.” The refund article adds that an annual plan already used gets no partial refund. Refunds refused after a renewal or an unused period appear in 8 of 45 user sources (Trustpilot, Reddit).

Credits do not carry over either. Under Artificial Intelligence Tools (d)(i), unused credits “expire at the end of the applicable billing period and do not roll over”. On yearly billing they still reset monthly, per the plans guide.

Clause (d)(ii) lets Envato change credit values and plan allowances. It did so in 2026: unlimited AI on Ultimate ended from 17 August for new customers and from 23 September for existing ones.
