- Vivix plan credits expire at the end of each billing period and its packs last 90 days; Magic Hour's unused credits never expire, GoEnhance AI token packs don't expire, and a Makernice balance does not expire.
- Vivix forfeits credits on generations blocked for content policy and makes every purchase final; Magic Hour and gVideo don't charge failed generations, and Makernice doesn't charge failed runs but does charge an output blocked by moderation.
- Stay on Vivix if one subscription covering every tool and modality, with a commercial license and no watermark, is how you like to pay.
If Vivix no longer fits, the closest alternatives are Magic Hour, GoEnhance AI, Higgsfield, Makernice and gVideo. Each one runs Seedance video, and most also carry Kling 3.0. They differ from Vivix on what happens to credits you don't use, what a blocked or failed generation costs, how many jobs run at once, and whether an API exists. We checked every platform's pages on November 11, 2026.
What happens inside one Vivix subscription?
One Vivix subscription buys a single credit pool for every tool and modality, with each model priced in credits per second. Vivix sells itself with "One subscription. Every tool." and its line "Credits cover every modality." Plans run Standard, Pro, Pro Plus and Ultimate, billed monthly or every six months, and each model's cost in credits per second is public. Separate credit packs can be bought after signing in. The free tier gives 3 signup credits and one clip credit, with watermarked outputs; paid tiers remove the watermark and add a commercial license.
The rules on unused and lost credits are strict. "Plan credits expire at the end of that billing period and do not roll over to the next one." and each pack stays valid for 90 days from purchase. Credits spent on a generation blocked for NSFW or any other content-policy reason "are forfeited and are not refunded", and "All purchases are final and non-refundable, including any unspent credits." We found no public API.

Choosing by what you make most often
Magic Hour answers the expiry problem directly: "All unused credits roll over forever and never expire, including after canceling a subscription." It sells plans and one-time credit packs, bills video in credits per second, and states "Failed generations are never charged." The Creator plan runs 3 generations at once and Pro 5, the API has a public model reference, and a Magic Hour MCP is listed. Refunds on a subscription are possible within 7 days if few credits were used.
GoEnhance AI covers Seedance, Kling, Wan, Happy Horse and the Qwen image models, and adds video-to-video tools. Its studio spends monthly tokens, while one-time token packs "do not expire", and the GoEnhance Open API bills per second or per image. "Storage for 180 days" applies to your files. Concurrency is 3 fast jobs on Basic and Standard and up to 12 on Mega, and commercial use is limited to the Standard, Pro and Mega plans.
Higgsfield suits heavy users of Kling 3.0 and Wan 3.0 who want parallel jobs: 2 at once on Starter, 6 on Plus and 8 on Ultra. Its comparison table lists approximate credits per model, and add-on credits stay valid for 90 days, though unused credits expire when an account is cancelled. A refund is possible within 7 days of the first purchase if no credits were used, and its terms place no restriction on commercial use of outputs.
Makernice carries every model in the Vivix lineup we track, including Happy Horse 1.1 and Kling 3.0 4K, among 19 video and image models. It bills per output second or per image from a prepaid US-dollar balance, one price in every mode, with no subscription and no free credits. Failed runs are free; an output blocked by moderation is still charged and can be sent to support for review. It offers a REST API and an MCP server, a console Create area for running models by hand at the same price, and 2 jobs at once per account by default.
gVideo is the closest match in pricing model: "One subscription, one credit pool". Generating requires a paid plan, the exact credits per render are shown before you generate, and "Credits are automatically refunded if a generation fails." Credits are granted monthly and reset on the billing date with no rollover, commercial use is allowed on all paid plans, and outside the auto-refund policy credits are non-refundable.

Keep Vivix if these apply
Keep Vivix if a single subscription that covers every tool and every modality is simpler for you than tracking separate balances, and if you spend your plan credits each month anyway. Its public per-second credit costs make it easy to budget, paid tiers give a commercial license with no watermark, and the free tier lets you try it before paying.
