How much does Topview T1 cost per second?
Topview publishes one production rate for Topview T1: 2.2 credits per second at 1080p. The same page says the list price is 2.75 credits per second, so the member rate is 20% below list for every Topview T1 user.
Topview T1 also outputs 720p, but Topview has not published a 720p credit price. We will not guess one. If you plan around 720p, check the generation quote inside the Topview workspace before you commit.
Topview's marketing page for Topview T1 prices 30 seconds at 1080p at $6.60. That example is Topview's own claim about Topview T1, not an independent test.
What does T1 pricing look like by clip length?
The interface offers 4s, 8s, 12s, 15s and 30s. Multiply seconds by 2.2 to get credits. To convert credits to dollars, this table uses Topview's own example: $6.60 for 30 seconds, which works out to $0.22 per second.
| Clip length | Credits at 1080p | USD at $0.22/s |
|---|---|---|
| 4 seconds | 8.8 | $0.88 |
| 8 seconds | 17.6 | $1.76 |
| 12 seconds | 26.4 | $2.64 |
| 15 seconds | 33 | $3.30 |
| 30 seconds | 66 | $6.60 |
The assumption matters. The dollar column is only valid if a credit costs you $0.10. Topview has not published a standalone dollar price per credit for Topview T1, so treat the right-hand column as Topview's example, not a quote.
What determines your real Topview T1 cost per credit?
Topview T1 credits per second are fixed for members. The variable is what you paid for each credit. Topview's pricing page lists plans with different credit allowances and annual prices.
We divided the annual price by the annual credits for three plans listed there on Oct 22, 2026. This is our arithmetic, not a Topview statement.
| Plan (annual billing) | Annual price | Annual credits | Effective $ per credit | Topview T1 1080p per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $216 | 1,200 | about $0.18 | about $0.40 |
| Business | $528 | 3,000 | about $0.176 | about $0.39 |
| Ultra | $599.90 | 6,000 | about $0.10 | about $0.22 |
Only the Ultra figure for Topview T1 matches Topview's $6.60 example. On the other two plans, our math suggests the same 30-second clip would cost closer to $12 unless you buy cheaper top-up credits. Topview's FAQ mentions credit packs and a lower-priced pack for annual subscribers, but we did not verify pack prices.
Topview also says Ultra Annual members receive 30 days of unlimited Topview T1 generation. Terms, queue priority and fair-use limits apply, so read the plan card before you rely on unlimited use. Our free access guide explains which actions cost credits and which do not.
How do you estimate cost per usable clip?
The Topview T1 list price tells you the cost of a generation, not the cost of a keeper. Retakes decide your Topview T1 budget. A simple method keeps estimates honest.
- Pick the clip length you will actually publish.
- Multiply seconds by 2.2 credits to get credits per attempt.
- Estimate how many attempts you need per usable clip.
- Multiply attempts by credits per attempt, then by your effective price per credit.
Topview's own project estimator for Topview T1 uses 80 shots and 5 generations per shot, with 5 to 30 second clips. Its example of 400 generations at 2.2 credits per second shows why retakes dominate cost.
For example, a 15-second clip costs 33 credits per attempt. If you need three attempts to get one usable shot, you spend 99 credits for that shot. At $0.10 per credit that is $9.90, and at $0.18 per credit it is about $17.82.
Short test clips are the cheapest way to lower your Topview T1 retake rate. Draft at 4 seconds, lock the composition, then spend credits on the longer render.
Track your Topview T1 accept rate over a week of real work. It is the one number no price table can give you, and it turns a per-second rate into a monthly budget you can defend.
What has Topview not published about Topview T1?
Several Topview T1 details are missing, and a careful budget should name them. Here is what Topview has not published as of Oct 22, 2026:
- A 720p credit price for Topview T1.
- A standalone dollar price per credit for Topview T1.
- Pricing for reference-heavy jobs, such as the 50-asset limit, so we cannot say whether image, video or audio inputs change the Topview T1 rate.
- Any API price, since Topview T1 has no public API listing.
Topview's own page notes that the Topview T1 estimator assumes each generation is charged at the selected per-second rate, and that total generated footage is not the final edited runtime. Read that as a reminder to budget for rejected takes, not only finished scenes.
Which projects suit the 2.2-credit rate best?
Use this checklist to decide whether the published rate suits your work. It reflects our reading of the numbers, not a Topview recommendation.
| Your situation | What the numbers suggest |
|---|---|
| Many 1080p retakes for short drama or film | The flat 2.2 credits per second helps most when you iterate often |
| Occasional single clips | A low monthly credit price matters more than the per-second rate |
| Mostly 720p drafts | Topview T1 has no published 720p price, so confirm first |
| Automation or app integration | Topview T1 has no public API, so plan around another model |
| Tight cash flow | Start with short test clips and confirm your credit price before committing |
If you land in the last two rows, you can price a test clip in our studio with the 30 free credits that come with a new account. The Standard tier does not run Topview T1.

What does this site charge for Standard and Premium?
This section is separate from Topview T1. The generator on this site uses a third-party video model through an API, in two tiers: Standard and Premium. It does not run Topview T1, and its output should never be read as Topview T1 output.
Cost is per second, in this site's credits:
| Tier | 480p | 720p | 1080p (paid plans only) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 6 | 8 | 30 |
| Premium | 12 | 14 | 60 |
A 5-second Standard clip costs 30 credits at 480p and 40 credits at 720p. A 5-second Premium clip at 720p costs 70, and 1080p runs 150 (Standard) or 300 (Premium). New accounts get 30 free credits, which covers one 5-second Standard clip at 480p.
Paid plans on this site are Basic at $19.9 per month for 380 credits, Pro at $49.9 for 1,050 and Max at $99.9 for 2,300. Annual billing is half the monthly price, $9.95, $24.95 and $49.95 per month, with 270, 680 and 1,380 credits per month granted for the year.
One-time packs are $9.9 for 150 credits, $29.9 for 500 and $69.9 for 1,200. Compare this site's Standard and Premium plans for full details.
