Same model, length and resolution on both. Arcads charges a flat extra every time you add a reference video. The working is under every card.
Working: 48 credits a second × 15 = 720 credits. 720 credits × $0.011 (yearly) = $7.92. 720 credits × $0.01375 (monthly) = $9.90.
Arcads costs 8.4 to 10.5 times more for this video.
Working: 720 credits plus the flat 480-credit reference surcharge = 1,200 credits. 1,200 credits × $0.011 (yearly) = $13.20. 1,200 credits × $0.01375 (monthly) = $16.50.
Arcads costs 14.0 to 17.5 times more for this video.
Working: 108 credits a second × 15 = 1,620 credits. 1,620 credits × $0.011 (yearly) = $17.82. 1,620 credits × $0.01375 (monthly) = $22.28.
Arcads costs 9.1 to 11.4 times more for this video.
Working: 1,620 credits plus the flat 1,080-credit reference surcharge = 2,700 credits. 2,700 credits × $0.011 (yearly) = $29.70. 2,700 credits × $0.01375 (monthly) = $37.13.
Arcads costs 15.2 to 19.0 times more for this video.
Working: 800 credits per 8-second clip × 2 = 1,600 credits. 1,600 credits × $0.011 (yearly) = $17.60. 1,600 credits × $0.01375 (monthly) = $22.00.
Arcads costs 8.4 to 10.5 times more for this video.
Working: 400 credits for 10 s plus 240 for 5 s = 640 credits. 640 credits × $0.011 (yearly) = $7.04. 640 credits × $0.01375 (monthly) = $8.80.
Arcads costs 9.8 to 12.2 times more for this video.
Cost of one 15-second video on each model, by resolution. Where Arcads doesn't publish a price for a model, it shows as not listed. Ranges in the Quickads column depend on your plan.
Arcads sells credits and shows plan prices only inside its app. Its help center confirms Starter carries 8,000 credits a month and that yearly billing is 20% off. Third-party reviews from July to October 2026 consistently report Starter at $110 a month. That makes a credit $0.011 (yearly) to $0.01375 (monthly).
Credit costs come from Arcads' help center. Seedance 2.0 runs 192–720 credits at 720p and 432–1,620 at 1080p across 4–15 second clips, which is 48 and 108 credits a second. Using a reference video adds a flat 480 credits at 720p and 1,080 at 1080p, so you pay for the input on top of the output. Veo 3.1 is 800 credits per 8-second clip, so 15 seconds takes two clips. Kling 3.0 is 240 credits for 5 seconds and 400 for 10.
Arcads notes that it tests pricing and some accounts see different rates. The Generate button shows the exact cost before you start. Its two help articles also list different Kling 3.0 ranges; we used the newer one.
Talking-actor videos bill 800 credits per started minute, per actor, so a 15-second actor ad costs the same as a 60-second one: $8.80–$11.00.
Quickads figures are our per-second rate multiplied by 15. Where a Quickads figure is a range, the price depends on your plan.
Sources, checked 14 October 2026:
Arcads adds a flat surcharge when you give Seedance 2.0 a reference video: 480 credits at 720p and 1,080 at 1080p. That is $5.28–$14.85 extra on a single video at the credit prices above.
Arcads bills actor videos per started minute, so a 15-second ad costs the same as a 60-second one, about $8.80–$11.00.
