AI video generators you can try free October 2026
Credits, watermarks and cards, read on the pages of 37 AI video tools. Some "free" plans no longer make a single video, and Sora has closed.
Checked by hand on 16 October 2026, on each company’s own pages.2 of 137 have moved since, re-checked 1h ago.
The short answer
If you read nothing else, read this.
- Free credits every day: Google Flow (50 credits a day, about 4 short clips at 720p by our math), Dreamina (120 credits a day), Leonardo (150 tokens a day, only some video models), PixVerse (30 a day plus 60 to start, up to 540p), Viggle (5 videos a day), Vidnoz (30 credits a day, about 60 seconds of a talking avatar), Vidu (daily login credits, amount not published), Wan (daily check-in credits, amount not published), Adobe Firefly (free daily generations). Meta AI and Google Photos also have daily limits, but do not say how many. Kling gives free credits too, but no longer says how many or how often.
- Free inside big apps: YouTube Shorts (Veo 3 Fast clips up to 10 seconds at 480p, in the YouTube app, not in the European Economic Area), Bing Video Creator (10 fast videos, then slow ones, phone only), Google Vids (6 clips a month, on a computer), Canva (photo to video within 20 AI uses a month), Qwen Chat (no published limits).
- Free credits once, then you pay: Descript 100, Kapwing 10, Pollo 20 (up to 4 short videos), LTX Studio 800 (computer only, not in every country), Genmo 250 (only after you add a card). Runway gives 125 credits, but its own page says the free plan makes images, voice, upscaling and scenes: new videos need Standard or above.
- No card to start: Runway, HeyGen, Synthesia, Descript, InVideo and Dreamina say so on their own pages.
- "Free" but no video: Pika's free plan has 0 monthly credits (you buy packs), Higgsfield's free tier has no credits, Luma lists no free plan, Midjourney has no free trial. Grok Imagine video starts at $30 a month, Perplexity makes video only on Pro and Max, Magnific (formerly Freepik) gives free users no credits, and Krea's free plan allows 0 video jobs.
- Sora is gone. OpenAI closed the Sora app and website on April 26, 2026 and its API on September 24, 2026.
- Almost every free video carries a watermark. Pika says its free exports do not. Google Flow's mark is invisible, except in India, South Korea and Vietnam.
I opened the price pages of 37 video tools. Here is what free really gets you.
Higgsfield · checked 8 Oct 2026
Is Higgsfield free?
Not really. Without a plan you can use a few models, but you get no credits, and there is no trial. Plans start at $19 a month. Some visitors are also offered a $3 one-time pass with 40 credits.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly | Credits a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $19 | $19 | 270 |
| Plus | $59 | $47 | 1,200 |
| Ultra | $129 | $99 | 3,000 |
Yearly is the price a month when you pay for the whole year at once. Prices exclude VAT. Higgsfield shows visitors different versions of its pricing page; this table is from the full one, read on 8 Oct 2026.
What the plan cards don’t say out loud
Unlimited lasts 7 days. Each unlimited model on a plan card says "7-day unlimited". Unlimited Kling 3.0 comes only with Plus or Ultra billed yearly. The monthly plans do not list it, so every Kling video uses credits.
Only on higgsfield.ai. Unlimited and free generations do not work in Canvas, Supercomputer, MCP or the CLI. There, everything uses credits.
Unlimited waits in line. Unlimited videos run in the standard queue, and videos paid with credits go first. Speed can also drop at busy times.
A credit is not a video. By Higgsfield's own figures, an 8-second Kling 3.0 clip at 720p costs about 14 credits, so Starter's 270 credits make about 19. Seedance 2.0 costs about 22 credits per 5 seconds at 720p, 45 at 1080p and 110 at 4K. The video counts on its plan cards are for 480p clips of 5 seconds.
Credits expire. Credits you don't use do not roll over. They expire at the end of each cycle.
VAT comes on top. Prices exclude VAT and local taxes, which are added at checkout.
It renews by itself. Plans renew automatically. You can cancel in your account settings and keep the plan to the end of the period.

Questions
Which AI video generator is free?
The ones that refill: Google Flow gives 50 credits a day, Dreamina 120 and PixVerse 30. Leonardo gives 150 tokens a day and Viggle 5 videos a day. Vidu and Adobe Firefly give daily credits without saying how many. Kling gives free credits but no longer says how many or how often. Inside big apps, YouTube Shorts makes free Veo 3 Fast clips, Bing Video Creator gives 10 fast videos and then slow ones, and Google Vids gives 6 clips a month. Descript (100) and Kapwing (10) give free credits once. Runway's 125 free credits make images, voice and upscales, not new videos. Almost all add a watermark.
Can I make AI videos free on my phone?
Yes. YouTube Shorts makes free Veo 3 Fast clips, up to 10 seconds at 480p, in the YouTube app. It needs the app set to English and does not work in the European Economic Area. Bing Video Creator works only on phones, in the Bing app: sign in with a Microsoft account for 10 fast videos, then slow ones that can take hours. Meta AI makes videos in its app, with a free daily limit it does not publish. Google Photos turns your own photo into a 6-second clip, a limited number of times a day. Not every country has all of them.
Is Higgsfield free?
Not really. Without a plan you can use a few models, but Higgsfield gives no credits and no trial. Plans start at $19 a month for 270 credits. Unlimited Kling 3.0 comes only with Plus or Ultra billed yearly, and it lasts 7 days.
Is there an AI video generator with no watermark for free?
Pika says its free exports have no watermark, but its free plan has 0 monthly credits, so you need to buy a credit pack first. InVideo's pages disagree: one says free exports carry no watermark, an older help article says they do. Google Flow adds an invisible mark, and a visible one in India, South Korea and Vietnam. Most other free plans we checked add a watermark, and a few pages do not say.
Which free AI video generator has no watermark?
Almost every free tool adds a watermark. Dreamina, Leonardo, Wan, Viggle, Vidnoz, Pollo, Genmo and LTX Studio all put one on free videos. Google Flow's mark is invisible, except in India, South Korea and Vietnam, where you can see it. YouTube Shorts adds a SynthID watermark and an AI label, and Bing adds content credentials to each video. Pika says its free exports have no watermark, but its free plan has 0 credits, so you must buy a pack first.
Is Sora free?
Sora is no longer available. OpenAI discontinued the Sora app and website on April 26, 2026 and the Sora API on September 24, 2026.
Does Pika have a free plan?
It has a free account with 0 monthly credits. Pika's pricing page says "packs only": to make a video you buy credits, from $25 for the smallest pack.
Which AI video tools need no credit card?
Runway, HeyGen, Synthesia, Descript, InVideo and Dreamina state on their own pages that you can start their free plans without a card. Genmo is different: you add a card to unlock its free credits, and it says the card is never charged.
