  • Premium is $12 per user per month, so cost scales with headcount using the card
  • Enterprise and Smart Card pricing is not published
  • Eligibility criteria are not stated anywhere on the pricing page, which matters for a product that extends credit

Magnific

  • Credit costs vary widely by output type, from 15 credits per 3 seconds of sound effects to up to 5,600 credits for a single video generation, making total cost hard to predict from the headline plan price, as of August 2026.
