Summary

Makernice is a FreyaVideo alternative for calling Kling, Seedance and other models from code: FreyaVideo is a pay-per-use studio with optional monthly plans, and we found no public API for it. Makernice quotes each run before it starts and bills a US dollar balance. FreyaVideo fits when you want to make clips in a browser and one free first video is enough to try it.

## Should you buy FreyaVideo packs or a monthly plan?

FreyaVideo sells one-time packs that are "valid for 365 days (about 12 months)" and three monthly plans. The monthly plans differ: "unused credits expire at the end of each billing period" and do not roll over. Its FAQ says monthly plans are optional and pay-as-you-go packs stay available.

For irregular use, packs avoid the expiry; for steady use, a monthly plan lowers the cost per credit. A Makernice balance has no plan to choose between.

## Why are FreyaVideo's per-model prices missing from the table?

FreyaVideo's model pages for Kling 3.0, MiniMax H3, Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 and Seedream 5.0 Pro ask you to sign in before showing credits, so there is no public per-model price to convert. The only public example is a Veo 3.1 line in its FAQ. This page therefore compares plan and pack rules, not model prices.

## What does FreyaVideo say about free videos and commercial use?

FreyaVideo says new accounts can usually make one free 5-second AI video with audio plus one free image-to-image edit, with no card required. It says videos made with Kling 3.0 using paid credits can be used commercially, and its pack table lists watermark removal. Makernice has no free allowance.
