Know what the Free plan includes
What you can make on Clevera's Free plan: 100 credits a month, videos up to 3 minutes, one generation at a time, 15 watermarked 1080p exports a month — plus every message Free shows and how to get past it.
Every new workspace starts on the Free plan. It gives you 100 credits a month to make real how-to videos, product demos and articles, with a few limits. This article lists what Free includes, what it doesn't, and every message the Free plan can show you.

Social clip types show in the Create gallery with a Paid plans tag and an Upgrade button, so you can see what they make before upgrading.
Free exports render in your browser on your own computer. If your computer can't finish an export, Clevera can render it on our servers twice a month, for videos of 3 minutes or less. See Understand on-device and cloud rendering.
One Free allowance per owner
The 100 free monthly credits go to one workspace per owner. If you own more than one Free workspace, only one gets the monthly credits. The others show "Free plan · no monthly credits here" in the sidebar and "Free monthly credits go to one workspace per owner. Upgrade to get monthly credits here." in Billing.
Those workspaces can still spend bonus credits, and they get monthly credits as soon as they move to a paid plan.
