Description: PixVerse Basic currently lists 60 initial credits and 30 daily credits. Here is the exact UTC reset time, what expires, why older guides say 60 per day, and how paid allowances differ.
Quick answer: On October 18, 2026, PixVerse's official plan comparison lists 60 initial credits and 30 daily credits for the free Basic tier. The daily allowance refreshes at 00:00 UTC and any unused daily credits expire at the end of that UTC day. The 60-per-day allowance now shown on the pricing page belongs to paid individual subscriptions.[1][2]
Why do you see both 60 and 30?
The Basic card separates Initial Credits: 60 from Daily Credits: 30. Think of the former as the starting balance and the latter as a recurring daily allowance. The pricing page does not fully specify the initial balance's expiration behavior, so inspect the credit categories in your account before planning a project. PixVerse also tells users to log in to collect daily credits.[1]
| Plan | Initial | Daily | Membership credits per 30 days | Video resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic, free | 60 | 30 | None | Up to 540p |
| Standard | 60 | 60 | 1,200 | Up to 720p |
| Pro | 60 | 60 | 6,000 | Up to 4K |
| Premium | 60 | 60 | 15,000 | Up to 4K |
| Ultra | 60 | 60 | 25,000 | Up to 4K |
| Team Ultra | Not listed | Not listed | 25,000 shared | Up to 4K |
These are the displayed allowances, not a promise that every promotion, region or checkout will show identical prices.[1]
Three credit balances, three clocks
Daily credits refresh at midnight UTC. That is 9 a.m. in Japan, but the local clock time elsewhere depends on the time zone and daylight saving rules. Daily credits are use-it-today credits: five unused credits at 23:59 UTC do not become 35 tomorrow. They expire as the next daily allowance arrives.[1][2]
Membership credits operate on another clock: every 30 days from the exact subscription start date and time, rather than the first day of each calendar month. Unused membership credits expire at that cycle boundary. Purchased or promotional Bonus Credits are described by the current pricing FAQ as non-expiring. The dedicated billing FAQ says buying extra credits is for subscribers, so free-account purchase eligibility should be checked in the account rather than assumed.[1][2]
Why do older articles promise 90 welcome credits or 60 free credits daily?
Some earlier guides quote 90 initial credits and 60 per day; even a PixVerse blog comparison uses a broad 30–60 daily range. The current dedicated subscription table is more specific: Basic 60 initially, 30 daily, paid plans 60 daily. We could not establish an official effective date for the shift or a complete account-by-account migration rule. Older numbers describe historical or broader marketing contexts, not a guaranteed entitlement today.[1][3]
How many videos can 30 credits buy?
Not necessarily 30, or even one. Video cost varies by model, duration, resolution and settings. PixVerse's billing FAQ directs you to the credit amount shown next to the prompt before generation. If your selected five-second job costs 35 credits, today's 30 alone will not cover it. A reroll costs credits again; failed generations are automatically refunded according to the help page.[2]
Free Basic is limited to 540p and two simultaneous generations. Watermark-free exports are advertised for paid tiers, while access to third-party video models and discounted modes differs by plan. Check the actual export and model options before paying for a client deliverable.[1]
Bottom line
For the current free Basic tier, budget 60 starting credits plus 30 a day, refreshed at 00:00 UTC. Do not confuse the one-time allowance, expiring daily credits, 30-day membership credits and non-expiring bonus balance. The credit counter and per-job cost are the two numbers that matter when you press Generate.
