AI video generators with free credits in 2026

Some AI video tools refill free credits every day, some give one free trial, and some keep daily extras for paying members. Here is what each tool's own pricing page said when we checked, and how KreatorFlow members can earn credits back.

Daily, one-time, paid-only or earned: four kinds of free credits

Daily refill

A small allowance that comes back every day on a free account. Krea says its Free plan refills every day and Leonardo says its free tokens reset every 24 hours, so treat a daily allowance as use it or lose it: check the terms before you count on unused credits carrying over.

One-time

A single deposit when you sign up, and nothing after that. It is the easiest kind to waste on test prompts, so spend it on the idea you care about most. Runway says its deposit does not expire.

Daily on paid plans

Daily extras that need a paid plan. Pika gives daily free generations on its Creator and Fancy plans, and Kling's policy describes daily login credits for subscribers during events. A free account gets none of these.

Earned

Credits you get for doing something rather than for signing up: a reward task, a contest, or a leaderboard. On KreatorFlow, members on a paid plan compete in daily mini game podiums while their generations run.

Free credits on KreatorFlow

KreatorFlow gives two one-time bonuses to every new account, daily bonus credits on paid plans, and a way for paid members to earn more while they wait.

One-time

25 starter credits

Added once when you sign up, so you can try the studio before you pick a plan.

One-time

100 credits for linking Discord

Added once per account when you link your Discord account and join the KreatorFlow server.

Daily on paid plans

Daily bonus credits on paid plans

Paid plans include bonus credits you claim once a day. Missed days are not paid later. The free credits page shows how much each plan adds up to.

Earned

Mini game podiums (paid plans)

While a generation runs, paid members play 3 mini games, each with its own daily podium: 1st place in each game wins 100 credits, 2nd 50 and 3rd 25, up to 525 credits a day, paid once the day's results are verified.

Earn credits while you wait (paid plans)

Only members on a paid plan (Creator, Pro, Max or Business) can compete and win. Lite and Free accounts can play practice runs while a generation runs, but never rank, and 48-hour trial accounts can rank but cannot win prizes.

Paid members compete for up to 525 free credits every day while their generations run: 100 for 1st place in each of the 3 games. Nobody is guaranteed a podium.

How the mini game podiums work

How to make free credits go further

  • Test a new prompt on a short clip or a still image before you spend credits on a long video.
  • Spend one-time credits on your best idea, not on throwaway tests.
  • Check whether a daily allowance refills, resets or stacks before you plan around it.
  • Never buy or share "free credit" accounts or passwords: they break most terms of service and the account can be closed with your work in it.

Free AI video credits: questions

Which AI video generators give free credits every day?

Krea and Leonardo, going by their own pages on 7 November 2026. Krea's Free plan lists 100 units a day that refill every day, with a daily cap on some models, and Leonardo's help center says free accounts get 150 tokens that reset every 24 hours. Pika and Kling keep their daily extras for paid plans.

Which AI video generators only give a one-time free trial?

Runway's Free plan gives 125 credits once, which its FAQ calls "a one-time deposit of 125 credits that doesn't expire". KreatorFlow gives 25 starter credits once at sign-up, plus 100 credits once for linking Discord.

Does Kling still give free daily credits?

Kling's official Credits Policy says "Kling subscribers can claim daily credits upon login/refresh" during events: the credits are claimed at login each day and reset at 24:00. The policy says nothing about free users, so do not count on daily credits on a free Kling account. The same policy says failed generations are refunded.

Is Higgsfield free?

We could not verify it. Higgsfield's official pricing page did not show readable plan text when we checked on 7 November 2026, and third-party reports disagree, so we state no number. For Higgsfield's paid plans, see our Higgsfield pricing page, linked at the end of this page.

Does Hailuo still give daily credits?

We could not verify it. Hailuo's official pricing page did not load for us on 7 November 2026 and third-party reports disagree, so we state no number. Check Hailuo's own site before you rely on a daily allowance.

Do free AI video credits expire?

It depends on the kind. Runway's one-time credits do not expire, according to its FAQ. Daily allowances such as Leonardo's reset every 24 hours instead of building up. For any other tool, read its terms: rules on expiry and carry-over differ and change often.

Can I earn credits instead of buying them?

On KreatorFlow, yes. Any account gets 100 credits once for linking Discord, and the KreatorFlow Discord runs reward tasks. On paid plans you can also compete in the daily mini game podiums while your generations run. Only members on a paid plan (Creator, Pro, Max or Business) can compete and win. Lite and Free accounts can play practice runs while a generation runs, but never rank, and 48-hour trial accounts can rank but cannot win prizes.

Is there an AI video generator that rewards you for playing games?

Yes. KreatorFlow members on a paid plan play 3 mini games while a generation renders, and each game has its own daily podium with prizes paid after the day's results are verified. Some image apps run game or challenge rewards too, so it is worth checking the tools you already use.

Are free credit referral links and accounts safe?

Referral links from a tool's own referral program are usually fine. Bought or shared accounts, "unlimited credit" generators and password swaps are not: they break the terms of service, the account can be closed at any time, and you risk losing your work and your payment details. Get free credits from the tool itself.

Make the most of every credit

Start with 25 starter credits, link Discord for 100 more, and on a paid plan earn credits back while you wait.
