# RenderHour

> RenderHour makes AI video, images and voice with Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana, GPT Image and other models, paid from one balance of credits. Every new account gets 10 free credits to start on the fast models, with no card; every other model comes with a plan from $10 a month. Failed runs cost nothing.

Every result is priced in credits before it is made. Paid plans renew monthly or yearly; credit packs last 90 days. Developers use a separate REST API paid in dollars, or the MCP server from Claude and ChatGPT.
