Why v4v: the honest case (and who shouldn't use it)

Studio benchmark: 225 credits per 10-second video at 720p (1080p: 330, 4K: 660), in 9:16 or 16:9. About $1.58 on the $7 pack or $1.35 on the $300 pack. Reference video changes the price; see the full grid on /prices. Other Lab models and Workflows vary; check the estimate before you run.

TL;DR — updated October 20, 2026

The case for v4v is three structural choices. The brief builds itself: product-URL extraction turns your PDP into creative direction, removing the step that costs marketers the most time per ad. Model choice on one balance: Seedance 2.0 for volume, Kling 3.0 for materials, Veo 3.1 for winners — no per-model subscriptions. Credits that never expire: ~$1.58 per video, $0 in idle months, no seat pricing. The honest counter-case: we're young (smaller track record than Creatify or HeyGen), the Studio supports 720p or 1080p, in 9:16 or 16:9 (feed-perfect, not broadcast), and we don't do long-form, presenter comms libraries, or timeline editing. If those matter more than testing velocity and per-video economics, pick accordingly — our comparison pages say exactly who beats us where.

The three choices, expanded

  1. Auto-brief — testing velocity is the paid-social lever, and rebuilding briefs is where velocity dies. The system does the rebuild.
  2. One workspace, many engines — model quality converges; switching cost is the real moat. When a better model ships, your workflow doesn't change.
  3. Pay-per-output — production is bursty; pricing shouldn't punish the pause. (Also why there's no free tier: bots. Entry is $7, ~3 videos.)

Who shouldn't use v4v

Enterprise training teams (Synthesia), presenter-comms shops (HeyGen), filmmakers (Runway), footage editors (CapCut). We'd rather route you right than refund you later.
