HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.0 on VdoBloom costs 46 credits for a 4-second 720p clip and scales to 173 credits at 15 seconds, while 1080p runs from 79 credits at 4 seconds to 295 credits at 15 seconds — roughly 11.5 credits per second at 720p and 19.7 credits per second at 1080p. At the Lite plan rate of $15 for 300 credits, one credit is $0.05, so a 5-second 720p clip is 58 credits or about $2.90, and the same clip at 1080p is 99 credits or about $4.95.

That is the whole answer, but the interesting part is what sits next to it. HappyHorse 1.1 is in the same picker at a materially lower price, and knowing when 1.0 is still the right call — and when it is simply the more expensive way to get the same shot — is worth more than the raw table.

What you are actually buying

HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.0 is a prompt-to-video model. No upload, no first frame: you write a description and it renders a clip. Its configurable range is wider than most text-to-video models on the platform, which is where the cost spread comes from.

Duration: 4 to 15 seconds, selectable at every whole second in between. Twelve real duration steps, not a fixed 5-or-10 choice.
Resolution: 720p or 1080p.
Aspect ratios: five — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4.
Content tier: MODERATE, the standard middle filtering tier.
Rating: 4.8 in the VdoBloom catalog.

Aspect ratio does not change the price. Only duration and resolution do, and they are the two axes of the table below.

Every tier, in credits and dollars

Dollar figures use the Lite plan conversion of $15 for 300 credits, which makes one credit $0.05. If you are on an annual Pro 2,000 plan at $49 per month, a credit is closer to $0.0245 and every figure in the right-hand columns roughly halves.

Duration	720p credits	720p at $0.05/credit	1080p credits	1080p at $0.05/credit
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

The Image-to-Video 1.0, Reference-to-Video 1.0 and Video Edit variants of HappyHorse are priced off the identical matrix — a 10-second 1080p render is 197 credits whether you started from a prompt, a still or a reference set. Version 1.0 charges the same for every generation mode, so mode choice is a creative decision rather than a budget one.

The 1.1 question you should ask before spending

HappyHorse 1.1 sits in the same family dropdown and is priced on a flat per-second rate: 9 credits per second at 720p and about 11.6 credits per second at 1080p. That means a 5-second 720p clip is 45 credits against 1.0’s 58, and a 5-second 1080p clip is 58 credits against 1.0’s 99 — a 41 percent saving at 1080p. At 15 seconds the gap is 135 versus 173 at 720p and 173 versus 295 at 1080p.

Clip	HappyHorse 1.0	HappyHorse 1.1	Credits saved on 1.1
5s, 720p	58	45	13
5s, 1080p	99	58	41
10s, 720p	115	90	25
10s, 1080p	197	116	81
15s, 1080p	295	173	122

The honest conclusion: for a brand-new project, 1.1 is the cheaper default, and it also carries nine aspect ratios including 21:9, 9:21, 4:5 and 5:4 rather than 1.0’s five. The reasons to stay on 1.0 are specific rather than general — a prompt library already tuned against its output character, a series where later shots have to match clips you rendered on 1.0 earlier, or a look you tested side by side and preferred. Those are real reasons. “It is the one I clicked first” is not, and it is costing you up to 122 credits a clip. Compare them directly at HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.1.

What a plan actually buys you

Translating credits into output volume is the number most people are really after.

10 free credits on a new account do not cover a single HappyHorse 1.0 clip — the cheapest tier is 46. Spend those on image generation or a cheaper video model first, then come here once you know the prompt works.
Lite, 300 credits for $15/month ($10/month billed annually): five 5-second 720p clips, or three 5-second 1080p clips, or one 15-second 1080p clip with 5 credits left.
Pro 2,000 credits for $59/month ($49/month annually): thirty-four 5-second 720p clips, or twenty 5-second 1080p clips, or six 15-second 1080p clips.
One-time packs start at $2.49 for 75 credits and never expire, which covers exactly one 4-second 720p clip with 29 credits spare. Packs suit occasional use; a subscription is far cheaper per credit at volume.

Paid plans also remove the watermark and add commercial rights, which matters if the output is going anywhere client-facing. See the full ladder on the pricing page.

Three ways to spend less on the same shot

Draft at 4 seconds, 720p. At 46 credits, that is the cheapest way to find out whether your prompt produces the composition you imagined. The motion, framing and subject all read clearly in four seconds. Only when the draft is right should you re-run the same prompt at your real duration and resolution.

Do not buy duration you will cut. Because duration is selectable at every whole second, you can request exactly 7 seconds rather than rounding up to 10 and trimming — that is 34 credits saved at 720p and 59 at 1080p, on every single render. Over a twenty-clip project the difference is a Lite plan’s entire monthly allowance.

Match resolution to destination. 1080p costs roughly 71 percent more than 720p at the same length. For social feeds that recompress aggressively, 720p is often indistinguishable in the final upload. Reserve 1080p for the hero cut and anything that will be viewed full-screen.

If your concept starts from an existing image rather than a prompt, the identically priced HappyHorse Image-to-Video 1.0 animates a still, and HappyHorse Reference-to-Video 1.0 holds a subject’s identity across several clips from reference images. Neither costs more than the text-to-video path. For a wider view of what the roster covers before you commit credits, the free AI video generator page lists what the starting balance reaches, and watermark-free generation explains what changes on a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 5-second HappyHorse 1.0 video cost?

58 credits at 720p and 99 credits at 1080p. At the Lite plan rate of one credit per $0.05, that is about $2.90 and $4.95 respectively.

Is HappyHorse Text-to-Video 1.0 cheaper than 1.1?

No — 1.1 is cheaper at every tier. A 10-second 1080p clip is 197 credits on 1.0 and 116 credits on 1.1. Version 1.0 remains in the catalog for consistency with work already rendered on it, not for price.

Does aspect ratio change the credit cost?

No. Only duration and resolution affect the price. All five ratios — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4 — cost the same at a given length and resolution.

Do credits expire?

Credits from one-time packs never expire. Subscription credits refresh with each billing cycle. New accounts get 10 free credits with no card required, though that is below HappyHorse 1.0’s 46-credit entry tier.

Can I see the cost before I generate?

Yes. The exact credit cost for your chosen duration and resolution is displayed before you commit a run, so no generation ever surprises your balance.
