HappyHorse Image-to-Video Pricing: Every Credit Tier in Dollars
The full HappyHorse Image-to-Video 1.0 credit table on VdoBloom — 46 to 295 credits per clip, converted to dollars, plus why version 1.1 costs up to 41% less for the same render.
HappyHorse Image-to-Video 1.0 costs 46 to 173 credits at 720p and 79 to 295 credits at 1080p, depending on how many seconds you ask for — about 11.5 credits per second at 720p and 19.7 at 1080p, which works out to roughly $0.58 and $0.98 per finished second of video. Every number below comes straight out of VdoBloom’s pricing table, converted at the platform rate of 1 credit = $0.05 (the Lite plan is $15 for 300 credits).
The complete HappyHorse Image-to-Video price matrix
The model animates a single uploaded still into a clip of any whole-second length from 4 to 15 seconds, at 720p or 1080p. Pricing is a straight duration ladder — there are no hidden surcharges for motion type, prompt length, or aspect ratio.
| Duration | 720p credits | 720p cost | 1080p credits | 1080p cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 seconds | 46 | $2.30 | 79 | $3.95 |
| 5 seconds | 58 | $2.90 | 99 | $4.95 |
| 6 seconds | 69 | $3.45 | 119 | $5.95 |
| 7 seconds | 81 | $4.05 | 138 | $6.90 |
| 8 seconds | 92 | $4.60 | 158 | $7.90 |
| 9 seconds | 104 | $5.20 | 177 | $8.85 |
| 10 seconds | 115 | $5.75 | 197 | $9.85 |
| 11 seconds | 127 | $6.35 | 217 | $10.85 |
| 12 seconds | 138 | $6.90 | 236 | $11.80 |
| 13 seconds | 150 | $7.50 | 256 | $12.80 |
| 14 seconds | 161 | $8.05 | 275 | $13.75 |
| 15 seconds | 173 | $8.65 | 295 | $14.75 |
What the per-second rate tells you
Divide any row and you land in the same place: 46 credits for 4 seconds is 11.5 per second, and 173 for 15 seconds is 11.53 per second. The ladder is genuinely linear, which has one practical consequence — there is no bulk discount for asking for a longer clip. A 15-second render costs almost exactly what three 5-second renders cost (173 versus 174 credits). So choose duration by what the shot needs, not by hunting for a price break.
At 1080p the rate is 19.7 credits per second. That makes 1080p about 71% more expensive than 720p at every single duration: 79 versus 46 at four seconds, 295 versus 173 at fifteen. Because the premium is a flat multiplier and never narrows, the cheapest workflow is always the same — iterate at 720p, render the keeper at 1080p.
HappyHorse 1.1 is cheaper for the identical clip
This is the single biggest saving available in this model family, and it is worth knowing before you spend anything. HappyHorse 1.1 Image-to-Video accepts the same stills, the same 4-to-15-second range and the same two resolutions, but sits on a lower price ladder: 9 credits per second at 720p and about 11.5 at 1080p.
| Clip | HappyHorse 1.0 | HappyHorse 1.1 | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 720p, 5 seconds | 58 cr ($2.90) | 45 cr ($2.25) | 13 cr (22%) |
| 720p, 10 seconds | 115 cr ($5.75) | 90 cr ($4.50) | 25 cr (22%) |
| 1080p, 5 seconds | 99 cr ($4.95) | 58 cr ($2.90) | 41 cr (41%) |
| 1080p, 10 seconds | 197 cr ($9.85) | 116 cr ($5.80) | 81 cr (41%) |
| 1080p, 15 seconds | 295 cr ($14.75) | 173 cr ($8.65) | 122 cr (41%) |
At 1080p the newer revision costs roughly 40% less for the same length of footage. The honest case for staying on 1.0 is output character and prompt stability — if you have already tuned a prompt library against it and like what comes back, a 22% to 41% premium may be worth paying. For everything else, start at HappyHorse Image-to-Video 1.1 and only fall back to the 1.0 model if the result disappoints.
What your plan actually buys
New accounts get 10 free credits with no card, and it is worth being blunt: 10 credits will not cover a HappyHorse run. The cheapest possible render on this model is 46 credits, so spend the free balance on lighter models first and come back to HappyHorse once you have a paid balance.
- $2.49 credit pack (75 credits, never expires): one 4-second 720p clip at 46 credits, with 29 credits left over.
- Lite, $15 for 300 credits: five 5-second 720p clips (290 credits), or three 5-second 1080p clips (297 credits).
- 2,000-credit tier ($49/month on annual billing): twenty-one 8-second 720p clips, or ten 10-second 1080p clips with 30 credits spare.
Paid plans also remove the watermark and carry commercial rights, which matters if these clips go into client work — see the full pricing page and the no-watermark explainer for how that works.
A worked example: six product animations
Say you have six product stills and need two finished hero clips. The cost-controlled route is not to render six long 1080p takes.
- Draft all six at 720p, 4 seconds: 6 × 46 = 276 credits ($13.80). That is enough to see whether the motion reads at all.
- Pick the two that work and re-render them at 1080p, 10 seconds: 2 × 197 = 394 credits ($19.70).
- Total: 670 credits, $33.50, for two finished 1080p hero clips plus four discarded drafts.
Running the same plan on HappyHorse 1.1 costs 216 + 232 = 448 credits ($22.40) — about a third less for identical deliverables.
How you are actually billed
Credits are deducted when you submit the job, and the exact cost is displayed before you confirm, so you never have to reverse-engineer the table above at generation time. If the render fails, the backend refunds the deducted credits automatically rather than leaving you to ask. Note that this mode takes exactly one input image; if you need several reference images guiding a single shot, that is reference-to-video, which sits on the same price ladder. If your still shows a real person, you must have that person’s consent before animating them.
When a cheaper model is the better call
HappyHorse is mid-priced, not budget. For quick social drafts, Vidu Q3 Turbo runs 20 credits ($1.00) for a 5-second 720p clip — a fifth of what HappyHorse 1.0 charges at 1080p. Going the other way, Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video costs 76 credits for a 5-second 720p clip, more than HappyHorse, and buys durations far beyond the 15-second ceiling here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 5-second HappyHorse Image-to-Video clip cost?
58 credits at 720p ($2.90) or 99 credits at 1080p ($4.95) on version 1.0. On version 1.1 the same clip is 45 credits ($2.25) and 58 credits ($2.90).
Is there a discount for longer clips?
No. Pricing is linear at about 11.5 credits per second at 720p and 19.7 at 1080p, so a 15-second render costs essentially the same as three 5-second renders.
Do the credits expire?
Credits bought in one-time packs, starting at $2.49 for 75 credits, never expire. Subscription credits refresh on your billing cycle.
What happens to my credits if the generation fails?
They are refunded automatically. The cost is deducted when the job is submitted and reversed by the backend if the render does not complete.
Does the aspect ratio change the price?
No. HappyHorse Image-to-Video 1.0 is priced purely on duration and resolution, so framing choices are free to change.
