- Burned-in captions and SRT
- Titles, hashtags, thumbnails
Charged once, at import, from the video's real duration rounded up to the minute. A 45-minute podcast costs 45 credits — whether you scan it once or five times, render one clip or twenty.

Packs are a one-time purchase, not a fourth plan. They never expire and they stack on top of your monthly credits, which get spent first. They're priced above the subscription rate on purpose — if you top up every month, the next plan up is cheaper.

Scans and rendered clips are capped per source, not per day: credits price transcription and scanning, and these bounds keep the parts we don't charge for from being abused. Hitting one returns a typed error code (scan_limit_reached, render_limit_reached) your code can branch on.
Priced so an agent can budget the call.
One cw_ key drives the REST API, the CLI, and the MCP server on every tier — the studio is a client of the same API, not a privileged one. Because ingest is the only charge, the cost of a job is ceil(duration_min), knowable before the first call instead of discovered on the invoice. Run out and you get HTTP 402 with the exact deficit, not a silent failure.
Renders come back as .mp4 and captions as .srt, so the output outlives the subscription. Nothing you make here needs ClipWisp to open it later.
Frequently asked
- What exactly is a credit?
- One minute of source video, rounded up to the whole minute. A 45-minute podcast costs 45 credits. It's charged once, when the source is imported — nothing downstream costs anything.
- So what does cost extra?
- Nothing. Transcription, clip scans, edit plans, renders, captions, and exports are all included in the import price, bounded by the fair-use limits above. There is no overage bill, because credits are prepaid and we never invoice past them.
- What happens when I run out?
- New imports stop; everything you've already made stays yours and stays downloadable. Top up with a pack, or move up a plan. The API answers with HTTP 402 and states required, available, and deficit, so an agent can decide what to do without a human reading an error page.
- Do unused credits roll over?
- Monthly credits reset to your plan's allowance on each renewal — use them or lose them. Pack credits never expire. We spend the monthly ones first, so your permanent balance isn't quietly burned down.
- How does annual billing work?
- Annual bills once at 10× the monthly price — about two months free. Credits still land monthly rather than as one yearly lump: a year of compute in week one isn't a plan, it's a liability.
- Can I switch plans or cancel?
- Anytime, from the billing portal (linked from Settings once you're subscribed) — no emails, no retention flow. Credits you already bought stay on the account.
- Where can I read the terms and privacy policy?
- See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for the full details on subscriptions, credits, content ownership, and data handling.
