The number everyone gets wrong
Search for Vidu and you will find the figure 200 videos a day, free. It appears in roundups, in comparison posts and in social threads.
The figure is real. It is also attached to the wrong plan. Free Off-Peak Mode, which allows up to 200 video submissions daily, is a feature of the Ultimate plan at $99 a month. It is listed on the Ultimate card, under the 8,000 monthly credits line, and it appears nowhere on the free plan.
Vidu’s actual free plan gives 10 references a month. That is reference generations, not finished videos, and the pricing page states no credit allowance for it at all.
We nearly made the same mistake ourselves while compiling this. The word free sitting next to a large number on a pricing card is remarkably good at detaching itself from the tier it belongs to.
What the paid plans give you
Standard at $10 gives 800 credits and states up to 200 videos a month, a dedicated fast generation channel, credit add ons at up to 45% off, essential Agent features and a subject creation quota of 50 a month. It supports 3 to 16 second generation, up to 4 videos at once, professional prompt editing, H.265 Pro and H.264 Pro encoding, and commercial use.
Premium at $35 gives 4,000 credits and up to 1,000 videos, a high speed channel, more Agent features, a 100 a month subject quota and early feature access.
Ultimate at $99 gives 8,000 credits, the ultra fast channel, unlimited Q2 1080p image generation, Off-Peak Mode at up to 200 submissions daily, full Agent access, credit add ons at up to 55% off and a 300 a month subject quota.
On stated output, Standard is unusually good value: $10 for up to 200 videos is $0.05 a video if you actually hit the ceiling. The caveat is that video length runs 3 to 16 seconds, so 200 videos is not 200 minutes.
Vidu against the rest
| Tool | Entry paid | Free plan |
|---|---|---|
| Kling AI | $8.80/mo | None |
| Vidu | $10/mo | 10 references/month |
| Pika | $10/mo | 80 credits, about 6 clips |
| Runway | $12/mo billed yearly | 125 credits, one time |
| HeyGen | $29/mo | 3 videos/month |
| Luma AI | $30/mo | None |
Vidu sits in the cheapest cluster on entry price alongside Kling and Pika. Its free plan is the weakest of the three, since 10 references is not comparable to Pika’s six finished clips. Its paid Standard plan states the highest video count of any $10 plan in the group.
What up to actually means
Vidu’s plan cards state output as up to 200 videos on Standard and up to 1,000 on Premium. Those are ceilings derived from the credit allowance at the cheapest possible setting, not allowances you can count on.
Work it backwards. Standard gives 800 credits and states up to 200 videos, which implies 4 credits per video at the cheapest setting. Premium gives 4,000 credits and states up to 1,000 videos, which is the same 4 credits per video. So both ceilings assume you always generate at the lowest cost option.
Vidu does not publish a per generation cost table broken out by resolution and length the way Pika and Luma do, so what a video costs at a higher setting is not something we can tell you from published sources. Treat 200 videos as the best case and plan for fewer.
| Plan | Credits | Stated ceiling | Implied credits per video | Cost per video at ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 800 | 200 | 4 | $0.05 |
| Premium | 4,000 | 1,000 | 4 | $0.035 |
| Ultimate | 8,000 | Not stated | Unknown | Unknown |
Off-Peak Mode, explained properly
Free Off-Peak Mode on the Ultimate plan allows up to 200 video submissions daily. Two words in that sentence do the work.
Off-peak means it runs when Vidu has spare capacity, not on demand. Submissions means videos entered into a queue, not videos delivered within any stated time. Neither the off peak window nor the turnaround is published.
So the honest description is that Ultimate at $99 includes a high volume queue that does not consume credits, subject to capacity. That is genuinely valuable for bulk work where turnaround does not matter. It is not 200 guaranteed videos a day, and it is certainly not free in the sense of costing nothing, since it sits behind the most expensive plan.
What you get on every paid tier
The feature list is consistent across Standard, Premium and Ultimate: 3 to 16 second video generation, high quality generation, up to 4 videos at once, professional prompt editing mode, H.265 Pro and H.264 Pro encoding, and commercial use rights.
What changes as you climb is credits, the generation channel speed from dedicated fast to high speed to ultra fast, the subject creation quota at 50, 100 and 300 a month, credit add on discounts at 45%, 45% and 55%, and Agent feature access from essential to more to full.
The 3 to 16 second range is worth noting against competitors. It is a wider ceiling than the 5 and 10 second increments most tools here offer, and if you need 12 second clips it saves you stitching two together.
Who Vidu suits
Anyone who wants the highest stated output per dollar at the $10 entry point, and who is comfortable that the figure is a ceiling rather than a guarantee.
Anyone generating at bulk who can tolerate queue delays, in which case Ultimate at $99 with off peak submissions is the strongest high volume offer in this comparison.
Anyone who needs clip lengths between the standard 5 and 10 second steps, since the 3 to 16 second range is more flexible than most.
Anyone who needs to forecast a bill precisely should look at Pika or Luma instead, because both publish generation costs by resolution and length and Vidu does not.
How we verified this
We went to vidu.com, followed the navigation to the pricing page rather than guessing a URL, expanded the monthly and yearly billing toggles, and read the full plan comparison table beneath the cards. Figures were read on 22 August 2026.
We have not tested Vidu’s output and make no claim about quality here. This page reports published pricing and corrects one widely repeated error about which plan the off peak allowance belongs to.
For the tools at the same $10 entry that publish exact credit costs, see Pika pricing and Kling AI pricing.
