Pricing FAQ
This page answers common questions about Chat Video Pro pricing, generation costs, and billing, and is designed to clear up confusion around how pay-as-you-go AI works.
Is Chat Video Pro a subscription?
No. Chat Video Pro requires a one-time license purchase.
Once purchased, you can use the software indefinitely on the licensed machine(s). There are no monthly fees for Chat Video Pro itself.
Why do I need to pay for generations after buying the license?
Chat Video Pro does not host or charge for AI models directly.
All AI operations (video generation, image generation, VFX, upscaling, etc.) run through fal.ai, which uses a pay-as-you-go billing model.
This means:
You only pay when you generate
There are no usage caps
There is no markup from Chat Video Pro
You are billed directly by the provider
What am I actually paying fal.ai for?
You are paying for:
GPU compute
Model inference
Video/image processing time
Chat Video Pro simply acts as a bridge inside Premiere Pro that sends requests to the model provider using your credentials.
How much do generations cost?
Costs vary by:
Model
Resolution
Duration
Operation type (image, video, tracking, upscaling, etc.)
Typical ranges:
Images: a few cents
Short video clips: cents to a few dollars
Longer or higher-resolution operations: more
Important: Prices can change over time. Always refer to the Fal.ai pricing page for current rates.
Where can I see exactly what I’m being charged?
You have two places to monitor usage:
Inside Chat Video Pro
Gear icon → Usage panel
Inside your fal.ai account
The provider dashboard is the source of truth for billing.
Do unused credits expire?
No. Credits added to your provider account remain until used.
Can I set spending limits or alerts?
Yes. Inside your provider account, you can:
Monitor usage in real time
Set budget alerts
Control how much you load into your balance
This gives you full control over spending.
How can I avoid wasting credits?
Best practices:
Use preview or tracking modes first when available (for example, SAM 3 “Track Frame”)
Start with shorter clips
Keep prompts clear and specific
Test with lower-cost models before scaling up
Detailed cost-saving tips are covered in the Usage & Best Practices section.
Can I use Chat Video Pro commercially?
Yes. You retain full rights to anything you generate using Chat Video Pro and connected models.
What is refundable?
We offer a seven-day money-back guarantee for the base Chat Video Pro package.
Digital bonus assets (such as templates or presets) may be non-refundable.
If something isn’t working as expected, we strongly recommend contacting support before requesting a refund — most issues are configuration-related and can be resolved quickly.
