One plan for chat and AI video: why paying twice adds up
A chat plan and a video app are two bills: ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro cost $20 a month each before any video app. llmwise Pro is $20 for both: 60 everyday messages a day, plus 250 credits a month for bigger models and for creating. That's up to 10 Kling 3.0 clips if the month goes to video.
Two jobs, two subscriptions
Chat apps and video apps sell separate plans, so using an AI chat and making AI video means two subscriptions. ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro are $20 a month each. The image and video apps add their own plan on top.
| Video app | Its cheapest monthly plan | With a $20 chat plan |
|---|---|---|
| Higgsfield | Starter: $19 | $39 a month |
| Runway | Standard: $15 | $35 a month |
| Krea | Pro: $35 | $55 a month |
| Freepik | $20 plan: $20 | $40 a month |
| OpenArt | Starter: $14 | $34 a month |

llmwise Pro is $20 a month for both jobs. Each video app's plans and credits, in its own words, are on its page: Higgsfield, Runway, Krea, Freepik, OpenArt.
What one plan covers
60 everyday messages a day, on Claude Haiku 5.5, GPT-6 Luna, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, and GLM 5.3 Flash: the quick questions, rewrites and lookups that make up most chat.
250 credits a month for everything else: the bigger chat models (19 chat models in all, Claude, GPT and Gemini among them) and creating images, video, voice and music.
30 video models and 45 image models in one studio, each priced before you press Create.
One place for the idea and the clip: a chat reply becomes a video prompt with one click.
| Model | Each clip | Up to, in a Pro month | Each, in money |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 Lite | 4 s at 720p with sound: 7 credits | 35 | about 35¢ |
| Wan 3.0 | 5 s at 720p with sound: 19 credits | 13 | about 95¢ |
| Kling 3.0 | 5 s at 720p with sound: 23 credits | 10 | about $1.15 |
| Veo 3.1 | 4 s at 720p with sound: 57 credits | 4 | about $2.85 |
The trade-off: one pool of credits
One plan isn't free video. Pro's credits are one pool: the bigger chat models draw on it, and so does every image and clip. A month spent on video leaves fewer messages on the bigger models, and the other way round. The everyday models' daily count is the part that never shrinks.
That pool is also smaller than a busy video maker needs. Pro makes 35 Veo 3.1 Lite clips a month at most, and fewer on the dearer models. For more, a top-up adds 200 credits for $10, or a bigger plan gives more each month.
When two subscriptions are the better deal
You make video every day
If video is your work, a video app's bigger plans may give you more clips for the money, and its own tools for editing and finishing.
You rely on one app's tools
Some apps have tools of their own that llmwise doesn't, such as editors, presets and canvases. Each app's page here lists what its own pages say it does.
When one plan wins
If you chat every day and make some video each month, one plan covers both, and the everyday chat costs nothing from the credits.
No surprises either way
Every price shows before you press Create, and a failed, blank, refused or blocked creation costs nothing.
How a chat idea becomes a clip in one step: Make this, step by step. What each clip costs: credits to dollars, model by model. Every model: the video hub.
Chat and video on one bill: questions
Are chat and video sharing the same credits?
Yes. On a paid plan the 250 credits a month (on Pro) pay for the bigger chat models and for creating alike, so a month spent on video leaves fewer of those messages. The everyday models' 60 messages a day are separate and never touch them.
What if I need more video than Pro gives?
A top-up adds 200 credits for $10, valid 12 months, or Max gives 800 credits a month for $50.
Should I cancel my video app?
If you make video every day, or rely on a video app's own editing tools, keep it. One plan is the better deal for people who make some video each month and chat every day.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes: Free gets 10 credits, once per email address, with no card, enough for a short clip on the cheaper models.
Cancel one bill, keep both jobs
Pro is $20 a month: 60 everyday messages a day and 250 credits for bigger models, images and video. Free has 10 credits to try a video first, no card.
