Script generation is free (0 credits). For a 3-minute song with 6-second clips and no reference photos, Standard uses 1,490–2,120 credits; approximately $24.95–$35.95 in generation top-ups from a zero balance; Professional uses 5,060–5,060 credits; approximately $79.92–$79.92 in generation top-ups from a zero balance. The lower estimate reuses chorus shots; the upper estimate creates every shot fresh. Singing is included at the same duration and quality. Extra reference images, replacements and extra exports can add credits. These are generation-only top-up budgets. For the same Standard example, a new Free account’s one-time licensed purchase is approximately $24.96–$35.96 before tax, including the project’s watermark-free commercial export rights and required generation packs. Neither range is a fixed-price finished-video promise. Review your own quote before generating.
The cost that matters: the second attempt
Budget for review and replacements. In HeyBop you can edit one scene and regenerate it while keeping the others. A plain 6-second Standard scene uses 70 credits; extra reference images can add credits. Singing is included at the same duration and quality. A technically failed generation returns its credits, but a successful result you choose to replace is a new paid attempt. There is no guarantee that the first result needs no changes.

Extra generation credits: USD 4.99 once · 300 credits; USD 15.99 once · 1,000 credits; USD 44.99 once · 3,000 credits. An active membership is required to buy extra credits. Unused credits stay in your balance after cancellation. Standard quality for one song. Singing follows your reviewed shot plan. Extra attempts and higher quality use more credits; review the quote before generating.
Time is a cost too
For the DIY route, count your hours: thirty prompts, thirty waits, a beat-aligned cut in an editor. Even at a modest rate that is the most expensive option on the list. The one-click tools trade a few dollars for an afternoon; the question is only whether the tool lets you fix the one scene that is wrong without paying for the twenty-nine that are right.

Can I buy one short video without subscribing?+
Script generation is free (0 credits). The one-time short video is $4.99 for 15 seconds with a watermark and personal use, first video only. The release-ready purchase is $9.99 for 30 seconds in Standard quality with watermark-free commercial export for that project. Neither is a full-song price or an auto-renewing subscription. Longer versions and extra attempts can need more credits.
Why do credit systems feel expensive?+
Because the burn rate is hidden until after generation and fixes are billed as whole new videos. Look for tools that show the price per action before you click and refund failures.
Do HeyBop credits expire?+
Pack credits never expire; plan credits roll over while you remain subscribed.
