Your credits never expire. No 90-day forfeiture, no use-it-or-lose-it — free daily GPU minutes refresh, purchased credits stay until you spend them.

Credits that wait for you

Reserve, settle, refund. We hold credits when a run starts, charge the exact cost when it finishes, and refund the rest automatically. Failed runs charge nothing. Purchased packs never expire — most AI video tools wipe your balance on renewal day; we don't.

  • Unused reserved credits are refunded automatically after every run
  • Export prices cover up to 30s — longer videos add a small per-second charge

Workflow platform pricing

Every line item, no asterisks. If it isn't on this table, it doesn't cost anything.

Comfy-native platform runs (preview under /platform) use a dual meter — GPU class + partner API lines — shown in preflight before you confirm. Details: /developers#platform.

Running workflows
Standard generation credits
Same per-block credit prices as chat. Memoized steps re-run free; cost estimates shown before every run.

BYOK access, premium publishing, and higher run-concurrency and cost-envelope caps are tier features — see the plan comparison above. Creator earnings accrue as credits.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of videos can Wavemaker create?

Product promos, social media content, explainers, news roundups, brand videos, and more. Wavemaker supports five video aspect ratios: landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), square (1:1), feed (4:5), and tall portrait (2:3), for YouTube, TikTok, Reels, feed, and Pinterest. The same product also makes downloadable audio (Music, Voice, Spot ads, Podcasts) and platform-ready static image ads.

How long does it take to generate a video?

Most videos are generated in 2-5 minutes, depending on length and complexity. The AI orchestrates image generation, video clips, voiceover, and music in parallel to minimize wait time.

Can I edit a video after it's generated?

Yes. Just tell it what to change: “make the intro shorter,” “change the background music to something upbeat,” “replace the image in scene 3.” Wavemaker understands context and makes precise edits without regenerating the entire video.

What about copyright and ownership?

We don’t claim ownership of what you generate, and subject to our terms you may use it for any lawful purpose. As with all AI-generated media, the legal status of AI output can vary, and you are responsible for reviewing and clearing output before you publish it. See our Terms of Service for the full details.

Is my data used to train AI models?

We do not use your prompts or uploads to train our own AI models, and we don’t sell your data. To create your video, your inputs are processed by third-party AI providers in real time, subject to their own terms. See our Privacy Policy for details, including the providers we use.

Can I use Wavemaker programmatically?

Yes. Use the Platform API (/runs, /discover) or connect agents via Bearer MCP at $PLATFORM_API_URL/mcp. Worker https://api.wavemaker.io/mcp is retired (HTTP 410). API access is included on paid plans that offer keys.

What are credits used for?

Credits are consumed when generating videos, static image ads, and downloadable audio. Longer videos and richer AI imagery, voiceover, and music use more; Audio mode scales with purpose, length, and variants. Credits are reserved up front and anything unused is refunded automatically when the run finishes. You can track every charge in your dashboard.

Can I build and share my own workflows?

Yes. A workflow is a reusable production pipeline: generation blocks and review gates wired together. Build one from chat (Create workflow), describe it in plain English, import a ComfyUI graph (curated packs run natively; unsupported nodes land in a residue report), then publish it to Discover. Shared workflows always load and run: blocks are platform-hosted and versioned.

Can I use my own AI provider API keys?

Not on the live platform. Org BYOK (attach your own xAI/Kling/Gemini/… keys and pay a 20% orchestration fee) was a legacy kernel feature and has no platform-api successor yet — see BYOK. Runs today use Wavemaker-metered GPU + partner calls.

What is the Training Studio?

The Training Studio (also: LoRA training) trains custom models from your own material: build a moderated dataset from uploads or your own generations, train an image LoRA (30 credits), video LoRA (90 credits), WAN dual-expert pair (135 credits), or voice clone (30 credits), pick the epoch checkpoint that nails it, and prove the winner with blind A/B evaluations. Failed training jobs refund automatically.

Can I earn money from workflows I build?

Yes. Open published workflows can be Tried and Remixed. Paid creator premiums stay off in production until Stripe marketplace approval; you can still publish for Try/Remix.

How do I get started?

Start creating for free. Describe your video and sign up when you hit generate to claim starter credits, enough for your first short video. Need more? Purchase additional credits from your dashboard.
