Visual Sandbox vs Magic

One sells templates. One sells the run.

In short

  • Magic Pro is $28 a month for 200 credits. Business is $149 for 2,500.
  • Free gives 30 credits once, at 720p with a watermark.
  • The page does not say what one video costs in credits.
  • Yearly billing takes 40% off. Credits reset monthly either way.

Our take. Use Magic for template product ads without a prompt. Use Visual Sandbox when you want the model, the prompt and a price per run.

Worth checking

Nobody prices the video
200 credits a month, and no word on how many a render costs. You find out inside.
The model is hidden
Templates name no model, so you cannot compare a render with the same model elsewhere.
Prices moved
In May the page read $19 and $104. In September it reads $28 and $149.
Free is watermarked
720p, personal use, no top ups.
We have no templates
Presets are the nearest thing, and you write them.

A template or a model

The price is on the page before the first run

This is the live price card off our Veo 3.1 page. Magic sells renders inside a credit plan and does not say what one costs.

  • No account needed to read it.
  • Magic Pro is $28 for 200 credits. What a render costs is not on the page.
  • A quiet month here costs $0.

Magic sells the month and the template. We sell the second.

  • Pro has a credit slider from 200 to 1,200 a month. Only the 200 credit price renders without clicking, so the higher rungs are not listed.
  • Yearly figures are the monthly price less the 40% the toggle advertises.
  • Twenty-eight dollars here buys 112 seconds of Veo 3.1 with audio off, or 280 seconds of Seedance 2.0 at 480p, in any month.
