How the free-first model works
VidSnappy is built around a simple split. The everyday video jobs — shrinking a file so it fits an upload limit, converting a clip to a format that plays everywhere, trimming, cropping and making a looping GIF — run entirely inside your browser. Nothing uploads to a server, so there is no cost to us to pass on to you, and there is no signup wall in front of them. That half of the product is free on every plan and stays free.
The AI half is different. Transcribing speech, removing a background, turning a long video into short clips and applying per-clip AI in the editor all call paid AI models that charge for every run. Credits are how that real cost is metered fairly: a plan gives you a monthly balance, each AI action draws it down, and the plan you pick is really a question of how much AI work you expect to do in a month. Free browser tools never spend a credit, so a small balance still goes a long way.
Because of that split you can get real work done before you ever pay. Start with the free tools, use your 4 sign-up credits to see whether the AI features fit your workflow, and only upgrade once you know you want a larger, refreshing monthly balance.
Pricing questions
Are the video tools really free?
Yes. Compress, convert, trim, crop and turn video into GIFs run entirely in your browser, with no signup and no upload — your files never leave your device. There is nothing to pay for the everyday tools.
What do the paid plans add?
Higher limits, saved projects, and monthly credits for the AI features as they roll out. The free browser-local tools stay free on every plan.
Do I need an account to use the free tools?
No. The free tools work without an account. You only sign in to save projects or use AI features that need credits.
What is a credit, and which tools use them?
Credits are only spent by the AI features — transcription, background removal, the clip maker and per-clip AI in the editor — because those run on paid AI models behind the scenes. The everyday browser-local tools (compress, convert, trim, crop and GIF) never touch your credit balance; they run on your own device and stay free on every plan, including Free.
How many credits do the plans include?
Starter includes 120 credits a month, Pro includes 290, and Studio includes 590. New accounts also get 4 credits on sign-up so you can try an AI tool before choosing a plan. A heavier month on Studio simply means more AI actions before you reach the balance; the free tools carry on either way.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Nothing breaks. The free browser tools keep working exactly as before, so you are never locked out of compressing, converting or trimming a file. To keep running AI actions you can move up a plan for a larger monthly balance, or wait for your balance to refresh on the next billing cycle.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — plans are month to month and you can change or cancel whenever you like. If you downgrade or cancel, the free browser-local tools keep working regardless, so you never lose access to the everyday editing you started with.
