How Much Does an AI Dance Video Cost? Dance & Moves Pricing
Dance & Moves is priced simply: 1 credit for every 2 seconds of finished video. Each move shows its exact price before you generate, so there are no surprises. This guide turns that into real numbers for a single clip, a batch and a longer Motion Swap video.
- Dance & Moves and Motion Swap both cost 1 credit per 2 seconds of video.
- A typical move of 6 to 8 seconds is 3 to 4 credits.
- Motion Swap clips of up to 30 seconds cost up to 15 credits.
- Every move shows its price before you generate.
The Rule
You pay 1 credit per 2 seconds of output. A 6-second move is 3 credits, an 8-second move is 4. The price is shown on the move before you generate, since each move has a fixed length. Credits cost about $0.52 on Starter, $0.49 on Pro and $0.39 on Studio, and $0.46 to $0.60 pay-per-use. New customers get 20% off their first card payment.
Price by Length
| Video length | Credits | At Starter | At Pro | At Studio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 seconds | 3 | $1.56 | $1.47 | $1.17 |
| 8 seconds | 4 | $2.08 | $1.96 | $1.56 |
| 10 seconds | 5 | $2.60 | $2.45 | $1.95 |
| 20 seconds | 10 | $5.20 | $4.90 | $3.90 |
| 30 seconds | 15 | $7.80 | $7.35 | $5.85 |
The 6 and 8-second rows are typical Dance & Moves clips. The longer rows apply to Motion Swap, which accepts reference clips up to 30 seconds.
What You Pay for a Real Session
| Scenario | Calculation | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| One move, first try works | 1 x 4 | 4 |
| One move, 3 attempts to get it right | 3 x 4 | 12 |
| Try 5 different moves with one photo | 5 x about 4 | 20 |
| A 30-second Motion Swap, one attempt | 15 | 15 |
| A 10-second Motion Swap test, 2 attempts | 2 x 5 | 10 |
The retry count matters most. Work out your own average over a few clips. Our budget guide has a template.

Ways to Spend Less
Dance & Moves vs Motion Swap Cost
| Dance & Moves | Motion Swap (beta) | |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | 1 credit per 2 seconds | 1 credit per 2 seconds |
| Clip length | Fixed per move, about 6 to 8 seconds | Your clip, up to 30 seconds |
| Typical cost | 3 to 4 credits | 1 to 15 credits |
| Sound | Silent | Keeps the clip’s sound |
They are priced the same per second, so the difference is the source of the movement. See Motion Swap vs Dance & Moves.
Is It Worth It?
A few credits per clip is small next to hiring a dancer or editor, but it is not free, and results vary. If your photo suits the tool, a 4-credit clip can be a good return. If your photo does not, the same 4 credits are wasted. That is why the checklist matters more than the price.
If a Generation Fails
Failed generations are refunded automatically. Blocked content is refunded and counts as a strike under our content policy. Credits are not refunded because a result is not what you pictured. See how credits work.
Always: only use a photo you have the right to use, and only of a person who has agreed. You confirm both before every generation, and our content policy applies.
