Best for AI video and image generation sold by credits
Topview puts many AI video and image models behind one credit balance, from $36 a month billed yearly. 100 credits buys about 66 seconds of video, annual plans are paid in full upfront, and there is no free plan. If you want to try it before paying, you can't.
Who Topview is for
- Fits if you want one place to try several AI video models and pay once
- Works for teams making short video ads who will use the MCP or API
Who Topview is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan or trial, as none was found
- Pricey if you need volume: 100 credits on Plus is about 66 seconds of Seedance 2.5 at 720p
- Watch out: annual plans are paid in full upfront, and monthly prices run much higher ($75 to $180)
- Not for you if you need the unlimited models by API, as they work only on topview.ai
Why Topview gets a 1.8

- CValue for moneyPlus is $36 a month billed yearly ($432 upfront) for 100 credits, between the cheaper quarter ($27) and the middle ($49) of ad tools.

Keep Topview, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Topview you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 24 of the 39 other ad creative and reporting tools grade higher. It costs $432 a year.
What you could not
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A voice model trained on your recordings.
- Ad images and videos made to each network's sizes.
- It plugs into other products, Claude, Seedance and Kling among them, and has an API.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Topview’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Topview?
Topview is an AI video and image generator that gives access to many third-party models and its own Topview T1 model from one credit balance. It has a canvas for agent-driven video creation, team workspaces with shared credits, and MCP and API access. Plans are monthly or annual credit packs.
Worth knowing
- Annual plans are paid in full upfront; crossed-out monthly prices show $75, $150 and $180 for Business, Ultra and Team, and none for Plus.
- Credits are spent per generation by model, resolution and length, so 100 credits on Plus buys about 66 seconds of Seedance 2.5 at 720p.
- Unlimited models are available only on topview.ai, not through MCP, the CLI or the API, and Ultra's API access cannot use plan credits.
- A free plan was not found on the pricing page; prices exclude VAT and local taxes.
Key features
