How Much Does Addis Vids Cost? Credits, Packages and Birr Prices Explained (2026)
Addis Vids costs nothing to start — every account gets 500 free credits — and after that you buy one-time credit packages in Ethiopian Birr: Starter at 2,000 Birr for 13,750 credits, Creator at 5,000 Birr for 37,500 credits, Studio at 10,000 Birr for 78,250 credits, at the time of writing. There is no subscription and no card. Each generation shows its exact credit cost before you run it.
Packages
| Package | Price | Credits | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 2,000 Birr | 13,750 | +10% |
| Creator | 5,000 Birr | 37,500 | +20% |
| Studio | 10,000 Birr | 78,250 | +25% |
Any amount between 1,000 and 50,000 Birr can also be bought with the slider. The bonus applies to the whole amount once you cross a threshold, so 2,000 Birr and up already earns extra credits.

Why credits instead of a subscription?
Subscriptions in dollars are the reason most Ethiopians cannot use global AI tools. Credits let you pay once in Birr, use them at your own pace, and never get charged automatically. Failed generations are refunded to your balance.
How to pay
telebirr, CBE Birr or Bank of Abyssinia transfer, then upload the receipt on the Pricing page. Credits are approved by a person, usually within minutes.
