FAQ

Common questions

What counts as a render?
Each video generation request counts as one render, regardless of video length or topic.
Do unused renders roll over?
No. Free renders reset at midnight UTC each day. Paid plan renders reset at the start of your billing month.
Can I use my own OpenRouter key?
Bring-Your-Own-Key is on the roadmap — coming soon.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing at any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period.
What's the difference between models?
Free-tier models (Gemini Flash, DeepSeek) are fast but occasionally produce Manim code with errors on complex topics. Hobby and Pro models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude Opus 4) generate cleaner Manim code with noticeably fewer failures.
