Arcads pricing: what is published

Does Arcads publish its prices?

No. On 12 Oct 2026, arcads.ai/pricing returned a 404 error, and no price list appeared anywhere on the public site. That is why this page has no price tables and no calculator: Arcads publishes no credit cost or price per second that the calculator can use.

What the Arcads homepage did show on that date:

• "Free trial available".
• "Get 7 days unlimited": unlimited Seedance 2.5 generations in Arcads Studio for seven days, with "Fair use terms apply" and a countdown.
• A "Book a demo" button.

What do the Arcads terms say about pricing?

The Arcads terms describe how plans work without giving numbers:

• Plans are either "Standard offers as described on the Platform" or a "Customized offer" made after a call.
• "Each subscription gives the right to a number of credits."
• "Unless otherwise specified, the price is indicated in USD."
• "The API is only accessible to the Client if he subscribes to a Customized offer."

So Arcads uses credits like most AI video tools, but the credit amounts, the plan prices and the credit cost per video are only visible after you sign up or talk to sales.

Why are third-party Arcads prices not shown?

Several review and competitor sites publish Arcads plan names, prices and credit rates. They disagree with each other, and none can be checked against a page Arcads publishes. This index uses vendor pages only, so those figures are left out. If Arcads publishes a price list, it will be added with its date.

How do you work out an Arcads cost per ad?

Use the numbers Arcads shows you after sign-up or in a quote. The maths is the same as for any credit plan:

1. Note the plan's monthly price and its monthly credits.
2. Make one finished ad and note the credits it used, including takes you discarded.
3. Multiply the credits per ad by the ads you make in a month. That is your monthly need.
4. Pick the cheapest plan that covers it. Cost per ad is the plan price divided by ads per month.

If a plan has more credits than you use, the spare credits still count in the price. If you need more than the largest plan, the choice is a customised offer.

You can then compare that figure against tools with published rates in the AI video cost calculator, using the same clip length, attempts and volume.

What do you get for the price?

The terms grant a licence, not ownership. Arcads gives "a non-exclusive, personal and non-transferable license on the Video", and says it cannot grant an exclusive licence because of the use of AI. The licence covers distributing, broadcasting and marketing the video. Edits beyond cropping, music, text, subtitles, B-roll and format changes need written approval. Clients must be professionals.

Check whether that fits the usage rights your brand or client expects before you budget around Arcads.

How does Arcads compare with other tools?

Arcads is built around AI actors: UGC-style presenters that read your script. That puts it closest to HeyGen, which also publishes no credit cost per video, but does publish plan prices and credit allowances.

Scene generators work differently. Higgsfield publishes credits per clip for each model, and Veo, Kling and Seedance publish prices per second, so you can price a clip before you make it. With Arcads, the cost becomes clear only once you have an account or a quote.
