PixVerse review: pricing, features and what testers found

PixVerse is an AI video app whose own V6 model makes clips of up to 15 seconds at 1080p with native sound from text or images, with effects templates, lip sync and, from Pro, other companies' models. A free plan gives 30 credits a day; paid plans start at $10 a month ($8 billed yearly).

Our take

PixVerse suits social creators and marketers who want short clips with sound from a prompt or a photo, plus ready-made effects templates, at a low entry price, with other companies' video models on the same credits from Pro up. Its own V6 model (March 30, 2026) makes clips of up to 15 seconds at up to 1080p with native audio and multi-shot scenes, and C1 (April 7, 2026) aims at action and effects shots. The free plan gives 60 credits on sign-up and 30 a day at up to 540p with a watermark; Standard costs $10 a month ($8 billed yearly) for 1,200 credits at up to 720p, and models such as Seedance 2.5, Kling O3 and MiniMax H3 start with Pro at $30. PixVerse publishes no web credit cost per second, so what a plan buys is shown only in the app. On October 23, 2026, V6 ranked 20th of 30 on Artificial Analysis's text-to-video board with audio (Elo 984) and 15th of 24 on its image-to-video board (Elo 1024). The published tests are one or two model generations behind: Techpoint Africa's Osamu Ekhator (on the V4.5-era app before V5 arrived; published September 2025) found image-to-video natural and quick but complex prompts glitchy and in need of retries, and Why Try AI's Daniel Nest (V5.6 on a free account, between late January and February 18, 2026) gave two image-to-video clips 9.5 out of 10; we found no independent hands-on test of V6 or C1. The catches are terms that limit outputs to non-commercial use without separate authorization, a licence for PixVerse to train on your content unless you opt out where an opt-out is offered, no refund once a subscription has been used, "up to 4K" plan labels while V6 generates up to 1080p, and a 2.2 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 127 reviews. This verdict rests on those two published tests, PixVerse's own pages, terms and API docs, Artificial Analysis's boards, and the Trustpilot, Google Play and App Store ratings.

Based on PixVerse's published plans and the hands-on tests linked below, not on a test of our own.

Good for

  • Social creators turning a photo or a one-line idea into a short clip with sound or a trending effect, who can start on the free plan's 30 daily credits
  • Trying several leading video models (Seedance 2.5, Kling O3, MiniMax H3, Wan 3.0, Grok Imagine 1.5) on one subscription and one credit balance, from Pro at $30 a month
  • Heavy users of PixVerse's own models who can wait for quiet hours: Ultra and Team Ultra make Off-Peak generations on PixVerse models free
  • Developers and agent builders who want per-second API pricing for V6 and C1, or a CLI that coding agents can call

Watch out for

  • What credits buy depends on the model, resolution, duration, audio, references and mode, and PixVerse publishes no web credit cost per second: its own guide says to check the cost the app shows before each generation. The per-second rates it does publish are for the API, whose credits are sold separately (225 to the dollar against 100 to the dollar in the web's credit packs), and PixVerse says the two are separate. By our calculation, membership credits per dollar billed monthly are 120 on Standard, 200 on Pro, 250 on Premium and about 126 on Ultra, whose value lies in free Off-Peak generations, model discounts and unlimited images rather than credits.
  • Membership credits refresh every 30 days from the moment you subscribed (on yearly plans too) and unused ones expire; daily credits expire at the end of each UTC day; bought and promotional bonus credits never expire. Refunds: none for being unhappy with results and none partial; only a subscription still in its period and not yet used gets a full refund, and credit packs are never refunded. Deleting your account cancels a web subscription after a 5-day cooling-off period, but not one bought through the App Store. Disputes go to arbitration in Singapore.
  • Commercial use is unclear: no plan card names a commercial licence, PixVerse's terms (updated May 7, 2026) limit your use of outputs to non-commercial purposes unless you get separate authorization or a commercial-use licence, and they bar commercial use of PixVerse's own creative materials, while the V6 page says commercial rights depend on your subscription tier. Ask PixVerse in writing before using outputs in ads or client work.
  • The terms give PixVerse's operator, AIVORA PTE. LTD. of Singapore, and its affiliates a free, worldwide, perpetual, sublicensable licence to use what you upload and generate, in aggregated and anonymized form, to improve its services, including model training, unless you opt out where an opt-out is offered.
  • Plan labels promise more than the model makes: Pro and up list resolution 'up to 4K', but PixVerse's own fact page warns that the label does not mean native 4K from every model, and V6's page and API docs list up to 1080p. Standard stops at 720p and Basic at 540p, and other companies' models start with Pro. Ultra's monthly $199 is shown as 20% off $249 with no end date. Team Ultra needs at least 2 seats ($398 a month, or $3,576 a year billed yearly, by our calculation), and its card shows a shared pool of 25,000 credits every 30 days without saying whether it grows with seats.
  • On the US App Store the earlier PixVerse iPhone app's address now answers 'not found' (404); the current iPhone app, PixVerse Lite (AIVORA PTE. LTD., version 0.8.1 of September 21, 2026), sells an Elite Plan at $5.99 a week or $49.99 a year, plans the web page does not list, beside credit packs at $5, $20, $50 and $100. A reviewer there says the original app was discontinued with a paid year left; PixVerse replied that PixVerse and PixVerse Lite are the same service and that support would guide them on recovering the old account.
  • The tests are dated: Techpoint Africa's was published September 3, 2025 on the V4.5-era app, when the free plan listed 60 daily credits (now 30), and Why Try AI's covers two V5.6 image-to-video clips from early 2026 on a free account; neither tried V6, C1 or other companies' models, Techpoint Africa does not name its plan, and we found no independent hands-on test of V6. On Artificial Analysis's boards with audio on October 23, 2026, V6 ranked 20th of 30 for text-to-video (Elo 984) and 15th of 24 for image-to-video (Elo 1024), while PixVerse's home page still shows its April 2, 2026 image-to-video standing ahead of Kling 3.0 Omni and Veo 3.1.
  • Trustpilot rates PixVerse 2.2 out of 5 from 127 reviews on a claimed profile that is not collecting reviews; 18 of the 20 newest (July to October 2026) give one or two stars, complaining of credits spent on failed or blocked generations, uploads rejected by moderation, results that ignore prompts, renewals and cancellations, slow support and the cut in free daily credits. Google Play rates the Android app 4.5 from about 4.55 million ratings.

What hands-on testers found

We have not tested PixVerse ourselves. These are the published tests we found that used it hands-on, newest first; follow the links for the full reviews.

Why Try AI · Daniel Nest · updated February 18, 2026

What they tested: PixVerse V5.6 on a free account, as one of 20 free image-to-video models given the same two Midjourney images (a steampunk robot violinist and a surreal locomotive) with one-line prompts and default settings, without advanced features. The article is an update, shown as last updated February 18, 2026; its previous round, in May 2025, had PixVerse on V4.5, and V5.6 came out on January 26, 2026, so the test falls between those dates. Image-to-video only: no text-to-video, V6, C1, paid plan, credit costs or other companies' models.

  • The violinist clip was free of glitches and visible flaws, though the robot's face and fingers hardly moved; the sound PixVerse added roughly fit the scene.
  • Nest liked the locomotive clip a lot, calling it 'excellent', with quiet train sounds as a welcome extra.
  • It scored 9.5 out of 10, in the top group of the 20 beside Grok Imagine 1.0, Kling 2.6 and Veo 3.1 (also 9.5) and Luma Ray3.14 (9); Nest cautions that the grades are subjective, rest on two images and simple prompts, and that the leading models are converging.
  • Its summary lists the free plan's limits at the time as limited daily credits, a 540p maximum and no Off-Peak Mode, with clips of 1 to 10 seconds.

Their score: 9.5 out of 10

Techpoint Africa · Osamu Ekhator · September 3, 2025

What they tested: PixVerse's web app in a hands-on section headed as three days of use (the introduction says a few weeks), on a plan the article does not name; it describes signing in with Google and getting free credits. Text-to-video with a prompt for a futuristic AI newsroom, tried at 720p and 1080p and in 16:9 and 9:16; image-to-video from a photo of a woman asked to smile and wave; and the Character mode from one face photo (5 seconds, 3:4). The model menu it lists runs V4.5, V4 and V3.5, the generation before V5 (released August 29, 2025, by PixVerse's API changelog), so it covers none of V5, V5.5, V5.6, V6 (March 30, 2026) or C1, and none of the other companies' models now on Pro and up.

  • The newsroom clip took about 30 seconds and got the cyberpunk mood, holograms and dramatic lighting right, though one drone flew awkwardly; Ekhator saw it as a time-saver for prototypes and client concept videos but would hold off using it in an actual Techpoint campaign.
  • Asked to make the woman in the photo smile and wave, image-to-video did just that, with smooth movement, believable facial animation and a sharp picture even at 360p; Ekhator found watching the still photo come alive a little unsettling.
  • The Character mode turned a single face photo into a 5-second walking shot that worked for social clips and intros, though the walk looked a little rigid at times and the facial expressions were not quite right.
  • Among the drawbacks Ekhator lists, simple prompts came out smooth but nuanced ones could give awkward expressions, oddly bent limbs and unnatural transitions, so cinematic results would likely need a few regenerations; some renders slowed at peak times, clips were capped at 5 to 8 seconds, and free-plan videos were watermarked.
