The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Talkwalker now rebranded Lumen by Talkwalker; pricing page names three tiers, Core, Analyze and Business, differentiated by non-sampled results volume (2x and 6x) and topic/filter/channel counts, but publishes no figures and directs buyers to request a custom quote
