Price
ClipNova's pricing page, checked on 15 October 2026, lists four plans in US dollars. Yearly billing is 20% off and plans renew until you cancel:
- Hobby: $19 a month, or $15.20 a month billed yearly, 1,000 credits.
- Starter: $49 a month, or $39.20 billed yearly.
- Growth: $99 a month, or $79.20 billed yearly.
- Ultra: $199 a month, or $159.20 billed yearly.
The same page gives two credit counts for the larger plans (2,500 or 2,600 for Starter, 5,000 or 5,750 for Growth, 10,000 or 12,000 for Ultra), so check at checkout. It does not say how many credits one product video uses, so this page does not turn a plan price into a price per video. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing period.
Studio charges per video: $3, $4 or $5 for 8, 12 or 15 seconds, less in credit packs, with no subscription, and credits never expire. The first video is free and carries a small watermark.
Studio: 3 credits ($3) for 8 seconds. New accounts get 3 free credits after verifying their email, enough for one 8s video. No card needed. Free videos carry a small watermark. You pay for every video we generate. Scripts we stop in review and videos that fail to generate are free. Full price list.
Where each one fits
- You want avatar ads, UGC-style ads and product demos on one monthly plan: ClipNova.
- You want your product worn or used, from the product page, and you want to pay per video: a product studio. Self-serve here is clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, jewelry and home goods. Not lamps or rugs.
- You want a real person's own review: hire a person. An AI model has not used the product.
- You want a team to run video and share the outcome: our done-for-you program, paid by results. Self-serve stays charged per video.

Questions
Is there a ClipNova alternative without a monthly plan?
Alvin's Club Studio charges per video and does not sell a subscription. An 8-second video is $3. The first one is free, with a small watermark, email only and no card.
How much does one ClipNova video cost?
ClipNova publishes plan prices and credit allowances, from $19 a month for 1,000 credits, but the pricing page we read on 15 October 2026 does not say how many credits a product video uses. We do not guess.
Do unused ClipNova credits roll over?
No, according to its pricing FAQ: the allowance resets each billing period. Studio credits never expire.
Have you tested it yourselves?
We are running the same product link through each tool and publishing what we measured: time to video, price paid and notes on the output. Until a result is shown on this page, nothing here is a test result.
