Step by step

  1. 1Sign in to addisvids.com and open Pricing.
  2. 2Pick a package (Starter 2,000 Birr, Creator 5,000 Birr, Studio 10,000 Birr) or set a custom amount with the slider.
  3. 3Choose telebirr, CBE Birr or Bank of Abyssinia. The account name and number are shown on the page.
  4. 4Send the exact amount from your banking or wallet app.
  5. 5Upload the confirmation screenshot on the same page and submit.
  6. 6Your request is reviewed and the credits appear in your balance — usually within minutes during the day.

Send the exact package amount and keep the screenshot readable (amount, date, reference number). That is what gets a request approved on the first try.

What you get for your Birr

Credits are the only currency inside the app. At the time of writing, 2,000 Birr buys 13,750 credits, and bigger packages carry a bonus of up to +30%. A 5-second video on the cheapest model costs about 63 credits, so a Starter package covers many clips.

Is there a free option?

Yes. Every new account receives 500 free credits with no payment at all, so you can try text-to-video, image-to-video and first-and-last-frame before you ever open telebirr.
