Billing Model
Overview
The Billing Model in ACT 3 AI is designed to give creators predictable, transparent costs while maintaining flexibility for different usage levels. It uses a credit-based system that allows you to pay only for the features, render times, and resolutions you use, regardless of project type.
ACT 3 AI offers both subscription and pay-as-you-go options, making it suitable for solo creators, production teams, and enterprise clients.
Key Components
- Credits: Virtual tokens used to pay for AI generation tasks, rendering, previews, and exports.
- Subscription Plans: Monthly or annual packages that include a set number of credits and feature access.
- Pay-As-You-Go: Buy extra credits at any time when you need them.
- Feature Access Tiers: Higher-tier plans unlock advanced tools like Google Veo 3, WAN AI, and Runway Integration.
- Organization Billing: Centralized credit pool for teams with usage tracking per member.
How Billing Works
- Choose a subscription plan via Subscription Plan Settings or continue as a pay-as-you-go user.
- Credits are deducted based on:
* Render duration (seconds or minutes) * Resolution (Draft, Medium, High, 4K) * Rendering engine used (e.g., Google Veo 3, WAN AI, Runway)
- Monitor credit usage in the Credits Panel on the dashboard.
- When credits run out, purchase more or upgrade your plan instantly.
Pricing Factors
- Resolution Multiplier: Higher resolutions use more credits.
- Model Type: Some engines cost more due to higher GPU requirements.
- Additional Features: Extra charges for multi-language dubs, 4K exports, or advanced color grading.
Example Credit Usage
| Feature | 1080p | 4K |
|---|---|---|
| Preview Render (per 10s) | 2 credits | 4 credits |
| Full Render (per 10s) | 5 credits | 10 credits |
| Google Veo 3 (per 10s) | 6 credits | 12 credits |
| WAN AI Session (per min) | 3 credits | N/A |
Managing Costs
- Use draft previews for testing instead of full renders.
- Group scene renders in the Render Queue for overnight processing.
- Lock finished scenes to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
- Share a team credit pool with your organization.
Invoicing & Receipts
- Monthly invoices available in Billing History under account settings.
