## How do UlazAI's euro credit packs and per-second credits fit together?

UlazAI's packs are one-time purchases in euros, with no subscription: its page says "No subscription and no separate model plans." Video models are priced in credits per second, so the cost of a clip is credits times seconds, then converted through the pack you bought. The pricing page does not state a credit validity period.

This page does not convert euros to US dollars, so it carries no same-resolution price table for UlazAI; the credit counts below are the figures to price against.

## What do UlazAI's Seedance 2.5 credits per second depend on?

UlazAI's Seedance 2.5 credits per second depend on resolution and on whether you send a video input. At 480p it states "480p: 28 credits/s without video input" and 17 credits per second with video input. As on other sites, the lower figure is for a different job shape, so compare the matching case. Makernice's Seedance models take no video input, so only the rows without video input are comparable.

## What does UlazAI do when a generation fails or is finished?

UlazAI refunds a failed generation but not a finished one: it says "A failed generation refunds itself." and states that once an image or video generation is completed, refunds are not possible. Makernice does not charge for failed runs, though an output blocked by output moderation is still charged; [details here](https://makernice.com/pricing/failed-generations/).

## When should you stay on UlazAI?

-   **You need music generation.** UlazAI's pitch includes Suno-style music; Makernice has no music models.
-   **You want to pay in euros.** UlazAI prices packs in euros and processes them through Stripe checkout.
-   **You use models only on its login-gated studio pages.** Some UlazAI model pages, such as Kling 3.0, show credits only after sign-in, so we could not price them.
