Toc Toc Video Cost: Credits, Packs and the Per-Video Math

“How much does one video cost?” has a short answer and a useful one. The short answer is 30 credits. The useful answer is that the credit packs are sized in whole videos, so the price per video depends on which pack you buy — and buying the smallest one first is a perfectly reasonable way to test the effect.

The short version

• One video = 30 credits. That is the fixed cost of an 8-second vertical toc toc clip.
• Smallest pack: $9.90 one-time for 30 credits — exactly one video.
• Bigger packs: $19.90 for 90 credits (3 videos) and $29.90 for 150 credits (5 videos).
• Per-video: about $9.90, about $6.63, or about $5.98 depending on the pack.
• No subscription. All packs are one-time purchases, and credits do not expire.
• See the packs: pricing.

The unit: one video, 30 credits

Generating one toc toc video costs 30 credits. That covers a single 8-second vertical clip with the fixed effect — the subject plus the crew of costumed friends performing the dance. There is no cheaper “draft” mode and no higher-cost “quality” mode: one button, no editing.

Credits are the internal currency. You buy them in packs; each generation draws its 30 credits from your balance. The generation surface always shows the exact credit estimate before a run starts, so the number is never a surprise after the fact.

The packs, and the per-video price

There are three one-time packs. Each is sized in exact whole videos — 30, 90 or 150 credits — and failed generations are never charged, so a retry never leaves you stuck.

What the packs contain

• 1 Toc Toc video — $9.90. 30 credits: one 8-second video.
• 3 Toc Toc videos — $19.90. 90 credits: three videos, about $6.63 each.
• 5 Toc Toc videos — $29.90. 150 credits: five videos, about $5.98 each.

The pattern is simple: the bigger the pack, the lower the effective price per video.

Pack	Price (one-time)	Credits	Videos	≈ per video
1 Toc Toc video	$9.90	30	1	$9.90
3 Toc Toc videos	$19.90	90	3	$6.63
5 Toc Toc videos	$29.90	150	5	$5.98

How the math works

The per-video figure is just pack price divided by the number of videos it covers:

• $9.90 ÷ 1 = $9.90. The single-video pack is the most expensive per video, but it is also the smallest commitment.
• $19.90 ÷ 3 = $6.63. Three videos drops the price by about a third.
• $29.90 ÷ 5 = $5.98. Five videos is the lowest per-video price.

Notice that the credits divide evenly: 30 credits is exactly one 30-credit video, 90 is exactly three, and 150 is exactly five — no leftover fragments. The retry safety net is the refund policy, not buffer credits: a run that fails technically never consumes credits, so re-running a failed take does not burn anything extra.

Step by step, from credit to clip

Step 1 — Pick a pack. Start with the $9.90 pack if you are trying the effect for the first time — it covers one full video.

Step 2 — Upload your photo and generate. One run draws 30 credits and returns an 8-second vertical MP4. The estimate is shown before the run.

Step 3 — Review and retry if needed. A failed run is refunded automatically; a re-run on a new photo is another 30 credits, so choosing a better photo first is the cheapest fix — see the photo-to-dance guide.

Step 4 — Download and post. Save the MP4 and add the trending sound inside TikTok. No further cost is involved in posting.

What the money is actually buying

It helps to know where a credit goes. The generation runs on Google’s Veo image-to-video model on its lower-cost “Lite” tier, and the 30-credit price for one 8-second clip is the provider’s cost passed through at one-to-one — CircleAIDance credit for provider credit. There is no markup multiplier hiding in the per-run price; the margin lives in how the packs are sized, which is why a bigger pack lands at a lower per-video price rather than the base cost changing.

That structure has two practical consequences:

• The per-video cost is stable. It does not vary with the photo, the subject or how busy the servers are. One video is 30 credits, every time.
• The estimate is shown before you commit. The generation surface displays the credit estimate for the run, so the number you see is the number you spend.

You can see the live per-model costs alongside the packs on pricing, and the fixed effect itself described in the trend guide.

Why there is no subscription

The product is a single effect, not a studio, so it is priced per video rather than per month. That means:

• You pay for what you use. One photo and one video cost one pack; there is no recurring charge.
• Credits do not expire. A pack you buy today is still there next month.
• Failed generations are not charged. If a run fails, it does not consume credits.

If you already know you want a batch — a few friends, a few pets, a few retries — the three- and five-video packs are the economical choice. If you are exploring, the single pack is enough to judge the effect. Either way, the trend guide is the cheapest possible next step: it explains the effect before you spend anything.

Pick the pack that matches how many you want

The rule of thumb is straightforward: one video to try it, three if you are making clips for a couple of people, five for the lowest per-video price.

A simple way to decide is to count the clips you actually want to publish:

• One clip to post. The single-video pack covers it exactly.
• Two or three clips. The three-video pack is the natural fit.
• Four or more clips. The five-video pack wins on price per video.

None of these choices lock you in. Because the packs are one-time and the credits do not expire, buying the smallest pack first and topping up later costs you nothing extra beyond the per-video difference — and it lets you judge the effect on real output before committing to a batch.

Frequently asked questions

How many credits does one toc toc video cost?

30 credits — enough for one 8-second vertical video with the fixed effect. The estimate is shown on the generation surface before the run starts.

How much is the smallest purchase?

$9.90 for 30 credits, one-time. That covers exactly one video, and there is no subscription.

How much is it per video?

About $9.90 from the single-video pack, about $6.63 from the three-video pack, and about $5.98 from the five-video pack — bigger packs cost less per video.

Do credits expire?

No. The packs are one-time purchases and the credits do not expire.

Am I charged for a failed generation?

No. Failed generations are not charged, so a run that errors does not consume your credits.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Every pack is a one-time purchase; there is no recurring plan. See pricing for the current packs.
