Questions about pricing

How much does it cost?

You pay in credits for what you use; one credit is about ¥1. A finished minute of video takes about 1,500 credits (about ¥1,500), so a 60-second short is about ¥1,500. Monthly plans: Light ¥2,980/month (3,000 credits), Creator ¥9,800/month (11,000 credits), Pro ¥29,800/month (36,000 credits). You can also buy credits on their own (¥3,000 and ¥10,000). Prices include tax. See the pricing page for details.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. When your account is set up you get 1,500 free credits (about one minute of finished video) — enough to make a 60-second short and judge the result.

How are credits used?

Only when the AI works: transcription, editing, rebuilding a visual, chatting with the AI. You see an estimate before it starts and the running cost while it works. Press Stop and you pay only for what was done. Credits never expire.

Plans or one-off credits?

A plan brings credits every month, cheaper per credit on the bigger plans (up to about 21% off), and exports without the watermark. One-off credits are a single purchase for when you run short. You can change or cancel a plan at any time.

How does it compare with hiring an editor?

Outsourcing a short with captions and sound effects typically costs ¥5,000–20,000 and takes a few days. With Rakuda a 60-second short is about ¥1,500, ready in minutes, with moving diagrams and real maps included.
