Visual Sandbox vs InVideo AI

One is an editor with a generator. One is a generator with a price.

In short

  • InVideo plans run $20 to $150 a seat a month for 400 to 5,000 credits.
  • A Nano Banana Pro image is 2.5 credits, about $0.125 on Starter. Ours is $0.19.
  • Timeline editing costs no credits. Generation does, and credits do not roll over.
  • Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 need Plus. Starter gets Fast and Mini only.

Our take. Use InVideo if you edit on a timeline every week. Use Visual Sandbox if you generate and want a price per run.

Multiplayer editing
Five seats can edit together on Starter, twenty on Max.
Stock footage in the plan
100 to 500 premium clips a month by plan, and 20 to 200 GB of storage.
Cheaper Nano Banana Pro

Worth checking

Full use is the condition
Spend half of Starter and Nano Banana Pro costs $0.25. Spend none and it costs $20.
Starter skips the good Seedance
No Seedance 2.0 or 2.5, and Agent Two Lite only. Those start at Plus, $60.
A seat is a seat
Two people means two plans.
Lengths are not stated
'About 13 Seedance 2 fast videos' on 400 credits, but the page does not say how long each is.
We have no editor
No timeline, no stock library. One model, one run.

The money

Per Nano Banana Pro image, and what a seat buys

InVideo prints two credit costs, 2.5 for a Nano Banana Pro image and 30 for a Seedance 2.0 Fast video, so the arithmetic is short for those two.
