How much does an AI video ad cost in 2026?

Three ways to get a video ad

• Hire a person: a freelance video ad on marketplaces such as Fiverr commonly costs $50 to $150, and UGC creators often charge $100 to $500 per video (2026 rate guides). It takes days.
• Raw AI video tools: you pay per clip, often without seeing the price until you generate, and you still add the voice, captions and editing yourself.
• A finished AI ad: in SupaSwirl a 15-second ad with three AI shots, a voice-over, captions, your logo and an end card costs about 64 credits.

What 64 credits cost

Prices on 3 October 2026. The pricing page has a calculator with the current numbers.

• Try it pack: $7 for 70 credits, enough for one finished 15-second ad, once per account.
• Plans: the more credits a plan has, the less each credit costs, so the same ad comes to roughly $4 to $6.
• A 30-second ad with the Standard model costs about 126 credits.

What changes the price

• The model: Draft and Value models cost a few credits a second, Premium models more.
• Sound: some models cost more with sound on.
• Length: credits are per second of video.
• Extras: captions, text, your logo and music are free; an AI voice costs 2 credits per 250 characters.

Costs you do not pay

• Failed videos: the credits come back automatically.
• Unused plan credits: they roll over for up to 3 months.
• Changing your mind: a first purchase with no credits used can be refunded within 7 days.
