Higgsfield pricing in 2026: every plan, credit costs, and what free actually gets you

Read Markdown

Higgsfield's individual plans are Starter at $19 a month, Plus at $59 a month or $47 a month billed annually, and Ultra at $129 a month or $99 billed annually. They include 270, 1,200 and 3,000 credits a month respectively. The free account has no credits, watermarks every output and is limited to a small set of models. Team and Scale plans are priced per seat. Everything in this post was captured from higgsfield.ai/pricing, the Higgsfield help centre and the Terms of Use on 17 September 2026. Higgsfield changes its cards often, sometimes weekly, so treat the date as part of every number.

A credit is the unit of spend, each model charges a set number of credits per clip or image, and the cost appears on the Generate button before you confirm. Two things trip people up. "Unlimited" applies to a rotating list of models, only on the website, in a slower queue, with caps on clip length and resolution. And subscription credits expire at the end of each cycle, so an unused balance is gone at renewal.

This post covers what Higgsfield costs and how its billing works. For choosing between Higgsfield and something else, see Higgsfield vs Runway, 14 Higgsfield alternatives and OpenArt vs Higgsfield.

The plans, 17 September 2026

Sources: the individual and business tabs of the pricing page. Prices exclude VAT and local taxes, which are added at checkout. The Starter card shows the same $19 on both billing toggles ("no difference compared to monthly"). Plus annual is described as saving $144 a year against monthly, Ultra annual as saving $360. Team is 2 to 9 members in a shared workspace, Scale is 5 to 15, and both list admin spend controls, indemnification and "no training on your data". The Ultra card also offers 6,000 and 9,000 credit variants; their prices only appear once you select them, so they are not reproduced here.

Cost per credit is the number that matters once you know what your models charge. Dividing the card price by the monthly allowance: Starter is about 7.0 cents a credit, Plus 4.9 cents monthly or 3.9 cents annual, Ultra 4.3 cents monthly or 3.3 cents annual, Team 6.5 cents on annual billing. The pricing page's own banner rounds these to "$1 = 15 credits" on Starter, 26 on Plus and 31 on Ultra.

Model access also differs by tier, not just credit volume. The Starter card reads "no access to Seedance 2.5" and limits Seedance 2.0 to the Fast and Mini variants; Plus and Ultra get the full line-up, with Seedance 2.5 at 1080p and Seedance 2.0 at 4K. The help centre puts it as "entry-level plans include core generation models. Higher plans unlock every model on the platform" (how plans work). The comparison table lists Higgsfield Ads, Higgsfield Speak, the UGC builder and priority access to new models and features as Plus and Ultra only.

What a credit buys

The pricing page carries a per-model table under "Compare features". The figures are Higgsfield's own, most marked as approximate, and are quoted per clip of the stated length. Longer clips scale roughly with duration, so an 8-second Kling 3.0 clip at 720p shows as about 14 credits in the plan finder on the same page.

Everything in the table with a number comes from the pricing page except the Seedance 2.5 rows, which are from Higgsfield's Seedance 2.5 pricing and credits versus unlimited posts. Cinema Studio, upscaling and Supercomputer costs are not published as a table; the help centre says the cost "is shown on the Generate button before you confirm" (how credits work) and the pricing FAQ says Supercomputer "shows the credit cost upfront, before anything renders".

In money, on Plus monthly: a 5-second Kling 3.0 clip at 1080p is about 40 cents, a 5-second Seedance 2.0 clip at 1080p about $2.20, a Nano Banana Pro image about 10 cents. On Starter the Kling clip is 56 cents and Seedance 2.0 is not available.

Unlimited: what it includes and what it does not

Unlimited is the part of Higgsfield's pricing most worth reading twice. The help centre definition is precise: "Unlimited models are specific models where generations don't deduct credits for a set period" (what are unlimited models). Which models, and for how long, is printed on each plan card, and it changes. On 17 September the Plus card listed Kling 3.0 and Nano Banana 2 for 7 days; Ultra added Nano Banana Pro. A "365 Unlimited" promotion, when active, extends listed models to a full year, and the FAQ notes that every time the promotion re-activates, current subscribers get another year from that moment.

The exclusions are the same across every Higgsfield page that mentions them:

• Website only. The pricing page footnote: "Unlimited models and Free Generations on plans are accessible only via higgsfield.ai and are not accessible on MCP/CLI, Canvas or Supercomputer." The integrations article extends that to the Premiere Pro, After Effects, Resolve, Photoshop, Figma and Blender plugins, which "use your plan balance at the same rates as the web platform" (external integrations). Higgsfield's July post adds Marketing Studio and Shorts Studio to the list (new unlimited).
• A slower queue. "Unlimited generations run in the standard queue, while credit-based generations always run in the priority queue" (pricing FAQ). The same FAQ warns of "dynamic speed adjustment" at peak hours and offers a Credit Mode toggle to skip the queue by paying credits.
• One job at a time. Higgsfield's own explainer states "1 image, 1 video, and 1 audio generation at a time" under unlimited; the help centre, describing purchased unlimited bundles, says video runs "1 generation at a time, up to 15 seconds" and images "2 generations at a time".
• Length and resolution caps. Under unlimited, images top out at 2K. Video is capped at 8 seconds on the trial and Plus monthly, 10 seconds on Plus annual and 15 seconds on the top tiers, monthly or annual; Seedance 2.0 at 4K is limited to 8 seconds and only on annual top tiers (Higgsfield, July 2026). That post names a "Max" plan that no longer appears on the pricing page, so check the card for your tier.
• Personal, human use. "Automation tools, scripting, credential sharing, and reselling access are strictly prohibited", and unusual activity can pause unlimited access pending review.

If your work is inside an editor, unlimited is worth nothing to you: the Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve panels bill every generation to credits. If your work is 8-second social clips on Kling 3.0 in a browser during the 7-day window, it is worth a lot.

The free tier, the trial and the $3 offer

Is Higgsfield free? You can open an account and generate without paying, but the pricing table lists the free plan at 0 credits and "limited use", with access "to a small set of models" and no credits (how plans work). Free accounts run one job at a time, and "every generation carries a Higgsfield watermark" that subscribing later does not remove from files already made (watermark). The comparison table also marks commercial use as not included on Free. Claims of a daily allowance of ten free credits circulate widely; they do not match the pricing table, which shows zero. What free users get instead is a limited number of free generations on selected models, Kling 3.0 among them.

The trial is a different thing. New users on the free plan can activate 24 hours of unlimited access to Higgsfield's listed image, video and audio models. It requires a card, costs $0, and "once the 24 hours end, the subscription automatically renews into a monthly Plus plan" unless you cancel first (Higgsfield). The Terms say the same in general form: at the end of a trial "your Subscription will automatically convert to a paid Subscription" at the then-current price, and "you may cancel before the trial or promotional period ends to avoid being charged" (Terms, section 10.7). Higgsfield's posts quote Plus at $49; the card on 17 September says $59. Reviews on Trustpilot in September 2026 include people charged after the trial ended at a price they did not expect, so set a reminder before the 24 hours are up.

The pricing page also showed a $3 one-time offer on load: 40 credits, two days of unlimited Soul 2.0 and access to top models.

There is no student discount. Students, professors and non-profits can apply to Higgsfield for Good, which offers free access by application with a review of up to two weeks; the page does not name a plan or credit amount.

Credits: expiry, packs and boosts

The rules are the same in the Terms and the help centre. Subscription credits reset each cycle and do not roll over: "on monthly plans with each paid renewal, on annual plans every 30 days" (how credits work). The Terms add that credits "have no cash value, are non-transferable, non-reloadable, and non-redeemable for cash" (section 9.4) and that unused subscription and promotional credits are forfeited on termination (16.4).

Subscription credits are spent first, then whatever expires soonest. Pack prices are "shown at checkout" and are not published; Higgsfield's blog does not print them either (credit packs). Packs need an active subscription: you can buy one on a lapsed account, but the credits stay locked until you resubscribe, and the 90-day clock keeps running. Concurrency Boost is a one-time purchase that adds +4, +8, +12 or +16 parallel jobs on top of your plan's limit and comes with its own Boost Credits (concurrency boost); price in app only.

Maximum video length

There is no single "Higgsfield max duration"; it depends on the model and, under unlimited, on the plan. With credits: Kling 3.0 generates "up to 15 seconds per generation with custom duration control" (Kling 3.0 on Higgsfield); Seedance 2.0 is up to 15 seconds per shot; Seedance 2.5 is "up to 30 seconds per generation" at 480p, 720p or 1080p (Seedance 2.5 on Higgsfield); Cinema Studio 4.0 makes "clips up to 30 seconds" where earlier versions stopped at 15 (Cinema Studio); Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 are priced at 4 and 8 second lengths on the credit table. Under unlimited, the caps drop to 8, 10 or 15 seconds by plan as above. Anything longer is stitched: Higgsfield's long-video page describes "clips up to 15 seconds per shot" sequenced into multi-shot pieces with extension and first-and-last-frame transitions (long video).

Plugins and the API

The editor plugins are free to install and bill at web rates, with no unlimited. The Premiere Pro panel needs Premiere 25.0 or newer and is covered in AI plugins for Premiere Pro.

The API is a separate product with separate money. "A subscription on higgsfield.ai and the API are two separate products with separate billing" (what is the Higgsfield API); you top up a US dollar balance, minimum $5, pay per successful generation, and failed requests are refunded automatically. Rates on console.higgsfield.ai/pricing on 17 September: Kling 3.0 Pro $0.084 a second (Standard $0.063, Turbo $0.07, 4K $0.21), Kling 2.6 $0.07, Kling 2.5 $0.042, Seedance 2.5 from $0.1234 a second at up to 720p, Seedance 2.0 from $0.1407 at up to 4K, Wan 3.0 Prime from $0.068, Soul 2 $0.0032 an image, Marketing Studio image $0.0162. A launch offer of up to 50% off on three models was running that day. For comparison, a 10-second Kling 3.0 clip is $1.12 through the API against about 16 credits, or 64 cents on Plus, on the website.

Billing, cancellation and refunds

The charge on your card. Higgsfield's legal entity is Higgsfield Inc., 535 Mission St, San Francisco (Terms, section 16.3), and that is the descriptor that appears on statements; Higgsfield's own explainer notes statements show "Higgsfield Inc" and that this causes confusion (Higgsfield). If you do not recognise a charge, the three usual causes are a trial that converted, an annual plan that renewed, or an Auto-Refill top-up.

Renewal. Subscriptions "automatically renew ... at Company's then-current price" until cancelled (10.2), with at least 30 days' email notice of any price increase (10.1). Upgrades apply immediately with a prorated charge shown before you confirm; downgrades apply at the next cycle (upgrade or downgrade).

How to cancel. Avatar, Manage Account, Subscription, Plan Settings, Manage Subscription, Show, Cancel Subscription (how to cancel). The Terms also allow cancelling by email to support@higgsfield.ai (10.3). Cancelling turns off renewal; the plan and its credits stay usable until the paid period ends, then subscription credits expire and the account drops to free. Pack, Auto-Refill and Boost credits are not deleted but are unusable until you resubscribe, within their 90 days. Unlimited access ends when the plan ends.

Refunds. The default is "all Fees for the Service are non-refundable" (9.2). The exception is narrow: "within seven (7) days of your initial purchase", only if no credits have been used, only on first purchases, never on renewals, and "subject to a service fee not exceeding six percent (6%)" (9.3). "Never used" is measured by credit spend, not logins, and because unlimited and free generations do not deduct credits they do not disqualify you (unused subscription refund). Requests go to support with your email, purchase date and amount, take up to three business days, and an approved refund cancels the subscription on the spot (how to request a refund). EEA and UK consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal that ends once you start using the digital content (17.2).

Ownership and training. "Company does not claim ownership of any of your Inputs or Outputs, nor does it restrict your commercial use of Outputs", and those rights survive cancellation (4.4). The same section says your content "may be used by Company to train" its models unless you delete it or your account; business and enterprise agreements exclude training. The pricing table's "commercial use: not included" on Free sits awkwardly beside that clause; the practical reading is that free outputs are watermarked and not meant for client work.

Affiliate and Earn. The affiliate programme pays "up to 25%" of plan price in cash for up to 12 months per referral (affiliate). Earn runs paid campaigns for creators who post AI videos; the Creator Partnership Program bundles a plan, credits and early model access for selected creators.

Which plan for which kind of user

A worked example: a 30-second, three-shot social ad

Three 10-second shots, two takes of each to choose from, rendered at 1080p with no upscaling, images and voice excluded. Credits use the pricing page rates per 5 seconds, doubled for 10.

The same ad on Plus during a Kling 3.0 unlimited week costs zero credits only if you accept the 8-second cap on monthly plans: four 8-second shots rather than three 10-second ones, one at a time, in the standard queue. On Ultra the cap is 15 seconds, so the three shots fit. Add a Nano Banana Pro still per shot (6 credits) and a 5-second Higgsfield Speak line (about 14 credits) and the Kling route on Plus is still under 120 credits, roughly $6. Retakes, not rates, run a month's credits down, which is why the choice between Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 matters more than the choice between plans.

FAQ

Is Higgsfield free? There is a free account with zero credits, watermarked output, a small set of models and one job at a time. The 24-hour unlimited trial is free but needs a card and converts to Plus monthly unless cancelled.

How much is Higgsfield AI? On 17 September 2026: Starter $19 a month, Plus $59 monthly or $47 a month annually, Ultra $129 monthly or $99 annually, Team $79 or $65 per seat, Scale $215 or $150 per seat, all before VAT.

What is the maximum video length? By model: 15 seconds on Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0, 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5 and Cinema Studio 4.0. Under unlimited the cap is 8, 10 or 15 seconds depending on plan. Longer pieces are stitched from shots.

How do I cancel? Manage Account, Subscription, Plan Settings, Manage Subscription, Show, Cancel Subscription, or email support@higgsfield.ai. Access continues to the end of the paid period. Cancelling is not a refund.

Why is there a Higgsfield Inc charge on my card? Higgsfield Inc. is the company behind higgsfield.ai. The charge is a trial that converted, a subscription renewal, an Auto-Refill or a credit pack. Renewals are not refundable; first purchases are within 7 days if no credits were used, less a fee of up to 6%.

Do credits roll over? Subscription credits do not; they expire at each renewal. Credit packs, Auto-Refill and Boost credits last 90 days from purchase and need an active subscription to spend.
