Purchased credit packs never expire. Monthly plan credits roll forward by your plan's rollover (up to 40%) — and every run settles at exact cost, with the difference refunded.

Credits that wait for you

Reserve, settle, refund. We hold credits when a run starts, charge the exact cost when it finishes, and refund the rest automatically. Failed runs charge nothing. Purchased packs never expire, and paid plans roll unused monthly credits forward — up to 40%.

A real run, billed: reserved 42 → the run used 3111 refunded, automatically. Failed run? 0 charged. No estimate padding, no rounding up, no “credits consumed on submit.”

  • Start free with 150 credits — your first short video is on us
  • Unused reserved credits are refunded automatically after every run
  • Export prices cover up to 30s — longer videos add a small per-second charge

Workflow platform pricing

Every line item, no asterisks. If it isn't on this table, it doesn't cost anything.

Runs meter GPU time and partner API calls separately, itemized in preflight before you confirm. Details: /developers.

Running workflows
Standard generation credits
Itemized estimate in preflight, reserve on start, settle at exact cost, automatic refund of the difference. Failed runs charge nothing.
The anchor
$99 ≈ 1,500 credits ≈ 5 standard videos
A standard 30-second multi-scene video settles around 300 credits.
Monthly rollover
Pro 20% · Business 30% · Agency 40%
Applied to unused monthly plan credits at each renewal. Purchased credit packs never expire.
Files storage
10 GiB free · 50 GiB on paid plans
Generations, uploads, Cast plates, and reference assets in your library.
GIF export
Free
Any settled video exports to GIF from Files or the outputs card.
Client review links
Free
A public approve / request-changes link per production — one decision, revocable anytime.
Public production receipts
Free
A shareable receipt with QC verdicts, itemized spend, and lineage on one link.
Creator marketplace
Launching after Stripe approval
Premium runs pay creators 80%; open-workflow royalties are funded from the platform share. Built and audited — payouts stay off until content-platform approval clears.
Training Studio
Early access
LoRA and consented-voice training with quoted prices and auto-refund on failure — pricing publishes with the Studio launch.

BYOK access, premium publishing, and higher run-concurrency and cost-envelope caps are tier features — see the plan comparison above. Creator earnings accrue as credits.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of videos can Wavemaker create?

Product promos, social media content, explainers, news roundups, brand videos, and more. Wavemaker supports five video aspect ratios: landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), square (1:1), feed (4:5), and tall portrait (2:3), for YouTube, TikTok, Reels, feed, and Pinterest. The same product also makes downloadable audio (Music, Voice, Spot ads, Podcasts) and platform-ready static image ads.

How long does it take to generate a video?

Short videos usually finish in minutes; longer multi-scene productions take longer. Scenes generate in parallel, and you watch real progress the whole way — every scene, take, and QC verdict, with a live cost estimate before anything spends.

Can I edit a video after it's generated?

Yes. Just tell it what to change: “make the intro shorter,” “change the background music to something upbeat,” “replace the image in scene 3.” Wavemaker understands context and makes precise edits without regenerating the entire video.

What about copyright and ownership?

We don’t claim ownership of what you generate, and subject to our terms you may use it for any lawful purpose. As with all AI-generated media, the legal status of AI output can vary, and you are responsible for reviewing and clearing output before you publish it. See our Terms of Service for the full details.

Is my data used to train AI models?

We do not use your prompts or uploads to train our own AI models, and we don’t sell your data. To create your video, your inputs are processed by third-party AI providers in real time, subject to their own terms. See our Privacy Policy for details, including the providers we use.

Can I use Wavemaker programmatically?

Yes. Use the Platform API (/runs, /discover) or connect agents via Bearer MCP at $PLATFORM_API_URL/mcp. Worker https://api.wavemaker.io/mcp is retired (HTTP 410). API access is included on paid plans that offer keys.

What are credits used for?

Credits are consumed when generating videos, static image ads, and downloadable audio. Longer videos and richer AI imagery, voiceover, and music use more; Audio mode scales with purpose, length, and variants. Credits are reserved up front and anything unused is refunded automatically when the run finishes. You can track every charge in your dashboard.

Can I build and share my own workflows?

Yes. A workflow is a reusable production pipeline: generation blocks and review gates wired together. Start in Create, describe it in plain English, import a ComfyUI graph (curated packs run natively; unsupported nodes land in a residue report), then publish it to Explore. Shared workflows always load and run: blocks are platform-hosted and versioned.

Can I use my own AI provider API keys?

Not on the live platform. Org BYOK (attach your own xAI/Kling/Gemini/… keys and pay a 20% orchestration fee) was a legacy kernel feature and has no platform-api successor yet — see BYOK. Runs today use Wavemaker-metered GPU + partner calls.

What is the Training Studio?

The Training Studio (also: LoRA training) trains custom models from your own material: build a moderated dataset from uploads or your own generations, train an image LoRA (30 credits), video LoRA (90 credits), WAN dual-expert pair (135 credits), or voice clone (30 credits), pick the epoch checkpoint that nails it, and prove the winner with blind A/B evaluations. Failed training jobs refund automatically.

Can I earn money from workflows I build?

Yes. Open published workflows can be Tried and Remixed. Paid creator premiums stay off in production until Stripe marketplace approval; you can still publish for Try/Remix.

How do I get started?

Start creating for free. Describe your video and sign up when you hit generate to claim starter credits, enough for your first short video. Need more? Purchase additional credits from your dashboard.
