LobbyClip’s photo layout is free; its AI video generation is paid. You can arrange two photos and download a static PNG without an account. An animated MP4 requires purchased video credits when generation is available. There is no free video allowance.
What can I make for free?
Open the creative desk, add two separate photos, choose a frame and download the photo layout. The preview happens locally in your browser. Your photos are not sent for video processing until you choose to generate a video.
The PNG is useful as a casting board or a two-photo composition. It is not an animated Hotel Lobby performance, a generated scene render or a free MP4. The scene video examples are viewable without buying, but they show example casts rather than your uploaded people.
How much does a Hotel Lobby AI video cost?
These are LobbyClip’s current single-video prices and output choices:
- 15s · 480p · one-time USD
- $1.49
- 15s · 720p · one-time USD
- $2.49
- AI-generated scene examples
- 6
- Formats: 9:16 · 16:9 · 1:1
- 3
A 480p video uses one video credit and a 720p video uses two. You can pay for just one video or buy a one-time pack. Purchased credits do not expire and there is no automatic subscription. See the pricing page for pack totals, and check the studio for service availability before paying.
Can I generate without an account?
Yes, when generation and purchases are available. Guest video credits and tasks are attached to a secure cookie in your current browser. Clearing cookies or switching devices does not transfer the balance. Keep that browser available and download completed MP4s promptly; completed task history is retained for up to 14 days.
What should I check when another tool says “free”?
Check whether the offer covers actual video generation or only image previews. Then check how many credits are offered, whether registration is required, the allowed video duration and resolution, and any export or watermark restrictions. Trial terms can vary by account and region. A subscription discount is also different from a one-time video price.
Our 2026 generator comparison links to the original product pages for Felo, Kapwing and Dreamina. It distinguishes their published payment information from a tested like-for-like price comparison.
What happens if my paid video fails?
Confirmed failed generations automatically return the credits used for that task. An unconfirmed submission keeps credits reserved until its state can be resolved, preventing an accidental second paid task. Check your existing task before submitting again. The troubleshooting guide explains pending states and queues.
Which option should I start with?
Use the free layout to check your photo pairing and frame. Watch the video examples to judge the scene style. If you want an animated duo with original generated audio, review the single-video price and create when the studio is available. For photo preparation, follow the step-by-step guide.
