LongCat Video Pricing

No. LongCat Video is an independent AI wrapper that connects you to LongCat and other third-party models. We are not the developers of those models, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any model vendor. We add the interface, billing, safety rails, and support.

LongCat AI usually refers to Meituan's LongCat model family and related open multimodal releases. On this site, the focus is LongCat Video generation: text-to-video, image-to-video, and continuation workflows wrapped in a hosted creator interface.

Yes. Continuation is one of the clearest reasons to use LongCat Video. You can extend a shot while keeping characters, lighting, and motion more stable than many short-form-first generators.

Longcat engineering means the technical choices behind the model workflow: dense parameters, sparse attention, continuation training, and practical prompt/control decisions. It does not mean the old Longcat puzzle game.

You get: ✓ A simpler interface with no code needed ✓ Extra video tools (conversion, GIF, thumbnails) ✓ One place to manage credits/subscriptions ✓ Transparent pricing ✓ Support that replies within 3 business days.

Hosted generation uses purchased credits. New accounts receive no automatic credits; existing balances remain available under their original terms. See the exact cost before each run.

A modern GPU with 24GB+ VRAM is recommended for 720p 30fps long runs. Shorter drafts can start on smaller cards thanks to coarse-to-fine rendering.

Use frame counts and seeds to control length and reproducibility. Detailed camera cues help LongCat Video follow motion styles closely.

Not today. The hosted site currently runs through the web app for signed-in users. If you need automation, self-host the open-source weights or contact support about integration options.

Video continuation is native. Provide conditioning frames and LongCat Video will extend without abrupt resets or flicker.

Check the Benchmarks section for MOS scores that show how LongCat Video compares on text alignment, visual quality, and motion quality.

Hosted generation uses purchased credits. New accounts receive no automatic credits; existing balances remain available under their original terms. See the exact cost before each run.

LongCat emphasizes coherent continuation and longer shots. The model weights can be self-hosted; this hosted workspace charges credits for compute and shows the exact cost before each job. Compare output quality, turnaround time, and total rerun cost against Runway or Pika for your own workflow.

Yes. LongCat Video's hosted web interface requires no coding or AI expertise. Choose a mode (text-to-video or image-to-video), write a simple prompt or upload an image, and generate. The AI handles the complex video generation automatically.

The Max plan includes 30,000 credits per month or 360,000 credits per year. Monthly subscribers refresh credits each month; annual subscribers receive the full yearly credits upfront.

Credits are deducted by model and settings. LongCat Image and Image Edit use 80 credits per image. LongCat Video uses fixed tiers by model: Distilled 480p = 150, 480p = 200, Distilled 720p = 250, and 720p = 300 credits per job. Kling v3 is calculated by duration: Standard costs seconds × 1,000 credits, Pro costs seconds × 2,000 credits, and enabling audio multiplies the Kling total by 1.5.

You return to the pricing page with the selected plan context preserved. You can retry, choose a smaller plan, or switch payment providers if one method failed.

Monthly subscription credits are valid for the current monthly period. Annual plans grant the annual credits upfront and keep them valid for the full annual period.

The hosted service includes the web interface, account system, billing, storage workflow, safety rails, support, and integrated video tools. Self-hosting the open weights is separate and requires your own infrastructure.

Refund requests must be submitted within 3 days of the original purchase date. Once any purchased credits have been consumed or any subscription benefits have been used, the order is no longer eligible. These rules apply to one-time credit purchases and subscription renewals alike.

Email [email protected] within the 3-day window with your account email, order number, purchase date and a short explanation. We answer every refund request within 3 business days; if we do not reply in that window, refunds may be auto-approved under our published refund policy, and approved refunds are processed within 24-48 hours after approval.

All payments are processed by trusted third-party payment providers and your credit usage is tracked in real time in your account. If a refund is approved, it is issued minus any applicable payment processing fees charged by those providers.

The credits come back to your account automatically and in full. A generation that ends as failed or canceled is settled with a full credit return for that job, and stalled jobs are closed by a scheduled reconciliation, so the credits return without a support request. This is a credit return, not a cash refund.
