## Ways to pay less

- **Up to 67% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page offers annual plans up to 67% off its monthly list prices, for example Ultra at $600 a year against $1,800 billed monthly. Source: https://www.topview.ai/pricing

## Key features

- **Many video and image models:** One credit balance covers Topview T1 and third-party models such as Seedance, Kling, Wan, Nano Banana and GPT Image, each priced in credits.
- **Unlimited and free generations:** Each paid plan lists models that can be used without spending credits, for periods of 7, 30 or 365 days; waiting times vary with demand.
- **Canvas and agent creation:** A canvas for agent-driven, free-form video creation, with storyline and canvas co-editing for teams.
- **Voice cloning:** Plans include a set number of free voice clones, then 2 credits per clone.
- **Team workspace:** Shared projects, brand kits, assets and credits, with administrators who manage seats and credit usage.
- **MCP and API:** MCP and API access are listed on the plans, and a plugin and skills are linked from the site.

## Good for

- Marketers who want several video models behind one subscription
- Creators who commit to annual billing for lower credit costs
- Teams that share a credit pool across members

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Plus is $36 a month billed yearly ($432 upfront) for 100 credits, between the cheaper quarter ($27) and the middle ($49) of ad tools.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial were found on the pricing page.
- **Features: C.** Many video and image models, voice cloning, a canvas, team workspace and MCP and API. The unlimited models work only on topview.ai, not through MCP, CLI or API.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Credits are spent per generation by model, resolution and length, so you have to work out cost per clip.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but with 6 integrations plus MCP and API access.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- You could not: A voice model trained on your recordings.
- You could not: Ad images and videos made to each network's sizes.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Claude, Seedance and Kling among them, and has an API.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
