Guests get 3 free credits without login. Sign up and you get 50 bonus credits. Each Shorts Voice Studio generate costs 1 credit and maxes out at 700 characters. Free is a test pool, not unlimited daily publishing.
This page owns the “how free credits work” question. The free AI voice hub covers the wider “can I start without paying?” intent. Do not treat the 50 bonus as something you have before an account exists.
The two free pools (exact numbers)
| Pool | How many | When | Resets? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest | 3 credits | No login, counted per IP | No — lifetime window, not daily |
| Signup bonus | 50 credits | After you create and verify an account | One-time bonus, not a monthly refill |
| Paid pack | See Pricing | When free runs out mid-batch | You buy more when you need more |
Cost is the same for guests and signed-in users: 1 credit per generate. SRT captions on that take do not cost a second credit. Voices and moods are not a weaker “free engine.”
What 3 guest credits are actually for
Spend them on a real tip, not “hello welcome to my channel.” Example: a 20-second UPI warning. Credit 1 = first voice, phone listen. Credit 2 = second voice or a cleaner script. Credit 3 = the take you will actually drop into CapCut, with SRT on. If you burn all three on random mood clicks, you learned nothing and you still need an account.
- Open Studio as a guest and paste a real Shorts script
- Spend 1–2 credits to lock a voice on a phone speaker
- Sign up before the third credit if the voice already fits — that unlocks 50 more
- Use the bonus to batch a small week (see the math below)
- Buy a pack on Pricing when you empty mid-batch every week
How far 50 signup credits actually go
If you write the script before you generate, one Short is often 1 credit (one take, SRT on). If you A/B two voices, that Short costs 2. A sloppy week of “generate until it feels lucky” can spend 4 credits per Short.
- Clean habit: 50 credits ≈ 50 Shorts, or about 7 weeks at 7 uploads
- One extra listen-back per Short: 50 credits ≈ 25 Shorts
- Daily uploads with two regenerates: 50 credits disappear in about two weeks
That is why free credits are for testing and a first batch, not a forever plan. When you already know the voice and you still empty mid-week, that is a Pricing problem, not a “the free tier is broken” problem.
What free does not mean
- Not unlimited daily generates
- Not a free preview that skips the credit meter
- Not 50 credits available before you create an account
- Not voice cloning or hour-long narration in one take
- Not a weaker voice library — same voices, less volume
