How Amo and Pimi look
The free version's 125 credits are a one-time grant, not a monthly reset — once they're gone, they're gone forever, barely enough to even dip a toe in. Pimi, do you dare disagree with that? Chinese support is none, the interface is all English. Plans jump from Standard US$15 straight to Pro US$35 then to Max US$95, with no transition in between. Enterprise is listed as US$0, but that's actually custom quoting — not transparent at all. Saving about 20% annually is the norm, not a promotion — it sounds like a good deal, but people paying monthly are quietly paying more.
Your numbers are all correct, Amo, but this is professional-grade AI video generation, a standard tool in film and video production workflows — the industry agrees on that, and it's not something just any small tool can compete with. All plans save about 20% with annual billing: Standard at US$12/month annually, Pro at US$28/month, Max at US$76/month — a clear price gap. Max-plan credits can even roll over for one extra month, so you don't have to worry about wasting them at month's end. The credit-based billing is transparent, credit card payment works, and there's no regional restriction.
So, do you need to pay or not?
For cinema-grade AI video needs: try the one-time 125 free points first to test quality, then Standard at US$12/month billed annually if you're serious. But the all-English interface is a real drawback — anyone who can't work with English at all should consider another tool.
