HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.1 Pricing: Credits Per Second, Tier by Tier
What HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.1 actually costs on VdoBloom: the full 4-15 second credit table at 720p and 1080p, converted to dollars, with plan-to-clip maths and a 30-second ad budget.
HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.1 is priced at a flat 9 credits per second at 720p and about 11.6 credits per second at 1080p, which works out to $0.45 per second and $0.58 per second at VdoBloom’s Lite rate of $0.05 a credit — a 10-second 1080p clip costs 116 credits, or $5.80. There is no per-prompt fee, no charge for aspect ratio, and no minimum beyond the model’s 4-second floor.
Below is the whole price table read straight from the platform’s credit configuration, the per-second maths behind it, and three worked budgets for the kinds of jobs people actually run on this model.
How the pricing is built
Two variables set the price of a HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.1 generation: how long the clip is, and whether you render at 720p or 1080p. That is it. The model offers nine aspect ratios — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:4, 21:9 and 9:21 — and none of them changes the charge. A 21:9 ultrawide letterboxed establishing shot costs exactly what a 9:16 vertical of the same length costs.
Duration is selectable at every whole second from 4 to 15, and each step is priced individually rather than rounded into a bracket. That granularity is the quiet money-saver here: if your edit needs 7 seconds, you pay for 7 seconds, not for a 10-second preset.
The full price list
| Duration | 720p credits | 720p cost | 1080p credits | 1080p cost | 1080p per second |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 seconds | 36 | $1.80 | 47 | $2.35 | $0.59 |
| 5 seconds | 45 | $2.25 | 58 | $2.90 | $0.58 |
| 6 seconds | 54 | $2.70 | 70 | $3.50 | $0.58 |
| 7 seconds | 63 | $3.15 | 81 | $4.05 | $0.58 |
| 8 seconds | 72 | $3.60 | 93 | $4.65 | $0.58 |
| 9 seconds | 81 | $4.05 | 104 | $5.20 | $0.58 |
| 10 seconds | 90 | $4.50 | 116 | $5.80 | $0.58 |
| 11 seconds | 99 | $4.95 | 127 | $6.35 | $0.58 |
| 12 seconds | 108 | $5.40 | 139 | $6.95 | $0.58 |
| 13 seconds | 117 | $5.85 | 150 | $7.50 | $0.58 |
| 14 seconds | 126 | $6.30 | 162 | $8.10 | $0.58 |
| 15 seconds | 135 | $6.75 | 173 | $8.65 | $0.58 |
Read the 720p column and the arithmetic is obvious: 36, 45, 54, 63 — nine credits a second, the whole way up. The 1080p column starts marginally more expensive per second at the 4-second tier and then settles at a steady 11.6 credits per second, or $0.58. Across the range, 1080p costs roughly 28 to 31 percent more than 720p for identical runtime.
What a monthly plan buys in clips
Turning a subscription into a clip count is more useful than a per-credit rate. On the Lite plan at $15 a month for 300 credits:
- Eight 4-second 720p clips (36 credits each, 288 total), with 12 credits left over.
- Six 5-second 720p clips (45 each, 270 total) — a full week of daily short-form posts.
- Three 10-second 720p clips (90 each, 270 total).
- Two 10-second 1080p clips plus one 5-second 1080p clip (116 + 116 + 58 = 290).
- One 15-second 1080p clip (173) with 127 credits left, enough for an 11-second 1080p follow-up.
Annual billing changes the arithmetic in your favour: Lite drops to $10 a month, so the same 300 credits cost a third less and the effective per-credit price falls below the $0.05 used in every table on this page. The higher tiers scale further — Pro is $49 a month annually at the 2,000-credit tier, which is around 22 fifteen-second 1080p clips a month. Current tiers are listed on the pricing page.
Worked example: a 30-second ad cut from generated shots
A common job is assembling one 30-second spot from several generated shots rather than a single long generation. Plan: a 21:9 establishing shot at 6 seconds, three 8-second mid-shots, and a 4-second product beat, all at 1080p.
- 6-second establisher: 70 credits ($3.50)
- Three 8-second mid-shots: 3 Ă— 93 = 279 credits ($13.95)
- 4-second closer: 47 credits ($2.35)
- Total delivered footage: 400 credits, $20.00
That is the cost if every take lands first time, which it will not. A sane workflow drafts each shot at 720p first — the same five shots at 720p total 306 credits ($15.30) — and only re-renders the approved compositions at 1080p. Budget the 720p draft pass plus the 1080p finals and you are at roughly 700 credits, $35, for a finished 30-second spot with room to iterate.
How it compares with the 1.0 model
The older HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.0 remains in the catalog on its own, older price table, and it is the expensive option at every tier.
| Clip | 1.0 credits | 1.1 credits | 1.1 saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4s at 720p | 46 | 36 | 10 credits ($0.50) |
| 5s at 1080p | 99 | 58 | 41 credits ($2.05) |
| 10s at 1080p | 197 | 116 | 81 credits ($4.05) |
| 15s at 1080p | 295 | 173 | 122 credits ($6.10) |
Version 1.1 is cheaper at every tier, supports nine aspect ratios instead of five, and keeps the same 4-to-15-second range. For pricing purposes 1.0 has no advantage left.
Free credits and one-time packs
A new account gets 10 free credits with no card required. Be clear-eyed about what that buys on this model: nothing, since the cheapest tier is 36 credits. Those ten credits are for sampling cheaper models in the catalog first. If you want to try HappyHorse 1.1 without a subscription, the one-time credit packs are the route — they start at $2.49 for 75 credits, never expire, and 75 credits covers one 5-second 720p clip with 30 credits still banked. Paid balances also unlock watermark-free downloads and commercial rights.
You can run the model, see the exact credit cost for your duration and resolution before confirming, and compare it against the rest of the catalog from /dashboard/video-creation/text-to-video/.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.1 generation?
4 seconds at 720p, for 36 credits — $1.80 at the Lite rate of $0.05 per credit. There is no shorter or lower-resolution tier.
Does a longer clip get a volume discount?
No. At 720p the price is exactly 9 credits per second at every length from 4 to 15 seconds. At 1080p the per-second rate is effectively flat at 11.6 credits after the 4-second tier.
Does 21:9 ultrawide cost more than 16:9?
No. All nine aspect ratios are the same price. Only duration and the 720p-versus-1080p choice affect credits.
Do I get charged if a generation fails?
Credits are checked before a run starts and the cost is shown to you at that point. Failed generations are handled by the platform’s recovery and refund path rather than being silently charged, so budget around successful takes plus iteration.
Is text-to-video priced differently from image-to-video on HappyHorse 1.1?
No — the 1.1 line shares one credit matrix across text-to-video, image-to-video and reference-to-video. The same duration and resolution cost the same in all three modes.
