- ✕Stock footage and generative models share one credit pool, and unused credits do not roll over verified on vendor page
- ✕Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 at 4K start on Plus. Starter stays on Seedance 2.0 Fast and Mini verified on vendor page
InVideo AI lists Starter, Plus, and Max. Annual billing on invideo.io/pricing shows $20, $36 (struck-through $60), and $75 (struck-through $150) per seat per month, with 400, 2,000, and 5,000 credits. Starter includes Seedance 2.0 Fast and Mini plus premium stock footage. Plus and Max add Seedance 2.5 at 1080p and Seedance 2.0 at 4K. Their pricing FAQ says unused credits do not roll over.

How we compare
- → "verified on vendor page" = collected on from InVideo AI's public pricing page (the plan shown on their homepage) - a page we read, not a product we used.
- → "verified by direct test" would mean we signed up for InVideo AI and used it ourselves. We have not done this for any competitor on this site yet - if you see this label anywhere, it's a genuinely fresh, hands-on test, not a template default.
- → "reported by users" = quoted from public reviews (Trustpilot, etc.) - we did not independently verify the underlying complaint, only that the review exists and says what we quote.
- → These are dated snapshots. Vendors change pricing and features frequently - always verify the current offer on InVideo AI's official site before deciding.
- → ShortLoom.ai claims come from our own live product: current pricing on our pricing page, generation stats in our public Proof & data report.
