Plans for students, freelancers and studios.

“Sophie changed our bidding turnaround time from 2 weeks to 3 days.”
Nico Cotta, Managing Director, Alibi Studios
“I import the script on Monday and send a costed breakdown on Tuesday. That used to be my whole week.”
Maren Oduya, Freelance VFX Producer
“Boards and previz off the same shot list: the director and I argue about the film now, not the spreadsheet.”
Tobias Renkl, VFX Supervisor, Halcyon Row Pictures

Enterprise

A bigger team, by agreement

More seats, several organisations under one agreement, your own pipeline and sovereign AI models.

Talk to us

The examples are worked out at Draft quality and are one way to spend the credits: they go on whatever you generate, and Sophie shows what a run costs before it starts. A yearly plan is paid upfront and its credits for the year arrive at once. When a period ends, 50% of a plan's unused credits carry into the next and the rest expire; credits you buy last a year.

How credits work

Buy more when you need them

Pay by card from inside Sophie, on any plan, Free included: $10 buys 1,000 credits. Automatic top-ups come with Freelancer and Studio, but they are off until you switch them on, and you set the amounts.

Half of what you do not use rolls over

A plan's credits last its billing period. When it ends and the plan continues, half of the plan credits you have left carry into the next period and the rest expire. Credits you buy stay in your balance for twelve months, and are spent after the plan's.

Spent only on what you generate

Editing, omitting and re-coding shots, the rate card and the Excel export are never metered. Sophie shows what a run costs before it starts, and every run is listed with its cost in the project's cost screen.

Teams and productions

When you need more seats, or a card is not how you buy.

Studio seats five. For a bigger team we set up your organisation with the seats it needs, grant credits against an arrangement rather than a card, and run Sophie under your production's own confidentiality terms. And when a show needs something Sophie does not do, HybridVFX builds pipelines to order.

Questions about pricing

Is there a free plan?
Yes. Free has no fee, no card and no time limit: one user, with one script import and one VFX breakdown on us for your first organisation, and credits bought as you need them after that. Images and video always run on credits. We may change the free runs; the Terms of Service say how.
Can I change plans?
Any time, from Settings → Plan & Credits. Going up is confirmed on Stripe's page, which shows the charge and the card, and then takes effect at once. On the same billing interval it keeps your billing period: you are charged the difference for the rest of it, and the higher plan's extra credits for that time are added to what you have. Moving to yearly billing, or from a yearly plan to a higher plan billed monthly, is confirmed the same way and starts a new period at once, with the unused part of the current one credited against it. Going down, or to monthly billing on the same plan, takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and cancelling lets the period and its credits run out. A yearly plan is paid upfront, and its credits for the whole year arrive at once.
Why credits as well as a plan?
Because pre-production is bursty. A bid week generates a lot, the month after generates nothing. The plan covers a month's ordinary work; extra credits cover the bid week.
Does the free import cover the whole script?
A script of ordinary length, yes. The free run has a budget, so a very long script is parsed from the start until it is spent, and Sophie tells you how much was covered. A paid import covers the rest.
What does a storyboard frame or a previz clip cost?
It depends on the quality you pick and on what the run makes. The examples on each plan are worked out at Draft quality; Sophie shows what a run costs before it starts, and each project's cost screen lists every run and what it cost, down to the frame.
Are credits refundable?
Credits spent on a run are spent, whatever you think of the result, and purchased credits are not refundable — except that when a run fails for a reason that is ours, you tell us and we normally re-credit it. The Terms of Service are the binding version.
Can my client see the bid?
On Freelancer or Studio, share the project with them as a guest. They see the breakdown as quoted and nothing else in your organisation, they need no plan of their own, and it costs neither of you anything.

Start with the free breakdown.

Upload a script, get the scene and shot tree and a costed VFX breakdown, and decide about credits afterwards.
