Genmo AI

Text-to-video platform from the makers of the open-source Mochi model

AI Video Free plan Paid from Lite $10 per month Web App, API

Genmo AI turns text and images into video with its Mochi-lineage models, and stays one of the most generous free entries in the category: about 100 credits a day that reset at midnight, enough for a couple of fast clips daily and roughly 30 per month. The company also releases open-weight research models, which keeps its pipeline transparent compared with closed competitors.

Paid tiers lift the limits – Lite at $10 per month (or $96 a year) and Standard at $30 per month (or $300 a year) add monthly credit packs, higher resolution and commercial options. For creators testing image-to-video ideas or developers studying open models, Genmo is the cheapest meaningful playground, though top-end cinematic quality still belongs to Veo, Kling and Seedance.

  • Free 100 daily credits, no card required
