What the free plan includes (and what it doesn't)
Vaideo's Free plan gives you 1 free video a day of up to 30 seconds, in 720p and with a watermark, generated in turn. The workflow is the same as on the paid plans: an AI-written script, a natural AI voice in English or Spanish, free stock or AI-generated images, zoom-and-pan motion and burned-in captions. If a generation fails, it doesn't count against your quota.
What it doesn't include: watermark-free videos, 1080p, videos longer than 30 seconds or direct upload to YouTube. One-off packs that never expire (5 videos for €5, 15 for €12, 40 for €25) remove the watermark and give you videos up to 5 minutes in 1080p, generated ahead of free ones; Unlimited (€39/month) gives you unlimited videos (fair use) up to 10 minutes, no queue, with direct YouTube upload and AutoPilot, and you can cancel it any time. The free plan is enough to test formats and see whether it suits you; to publish with a clean look, you'll need a pack (from €5) or Unlimited.
How to get the most from your daily free video
Treat it as an experiment: over a few days, try the same topic with three different hooks (a question, a surprising fact, a story), or three topics from your niche with the same structure. Then compare in TikTok, Instagram or YouTube analytics which one holds viewers best, instead of guessing.
Before downloading, check the script and swap any images that don't fit: you can replace the image in any scene. Pick a visual style (Cinematic, Documentary, Anime/Illustration…) and stick with it so your videos are recognisable. Remember that on the Free plan the video carries the Vaideo watermark; if one works and you want to publish it clean, you can remove it with a pack credit.

Tips that make the difference
- ★Write the first line yourself: it decides whether anyone keeps watching.
- ★One idea per video; save the extras for the next one.
- ★Use your daily free video to test different hooks, not to repeat the same one.
- ★Fact-check the script before posting; mistakes spread just as fast.
- ★Check retention in the platform's analytics and repeat what works.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?+
Yes. The Free plan costs €0 and includes 1 free video a day of up to 30 s in 720p. If you need more or longer videos, 1080p or no watermark, there are one-off packs (5 videos for €5, 15 for €12, 40 for €25; up to 5 min) and the Unlimited plan at €39/month.
Do free videos have a watermark?+
Yes, Free plan videos carry a watermark. Without one, from €5 with a one-off pack, or with Unlimited (€39/month); with either, no video has one.
Does Vaideo guarantee my video will go viral?+
No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. Vaideo helps you produce quickly; reach depends on the hook, the topic, the timing and each platform.
What if a generation fails?+
Failed videos don't use up your quota, so you can try again without losing your free video for the day.

The videos are yours. Unsplash images are free to use, including commercially; some Wikimedia images may require attribution.

English and Spanish, with one natural AI voice per language.
