You bring your own kie.ai credits for video generation. Bureau does the research, scripting, voiceover, stock, subtitles, and export — all included. No subscriptions, no markup, vendor pricing direct.
The production pipeline — Bureau handles everything except the AI video generation itself.
Veo3 / Seedance video generation runs through kie.ai. Buy credits there at vendor pricing — Bureau takes no margin.
Pick your tier per project. Cost scales with scenes.
| Tier | Per clip | 20 scenes | 40 scenes |
|---|---|---|---|
Budget Fast turnaround. Good for testing, shorts, B-roll-heavy edits. | 0.05 cr | 1.00 cr | 2.00 cr |
Mid Standard documentary quality. The default for most projects. | 0.2 cr | 4.00 cr | 8.00 cr |
Full Premium quality for hero scenes and final cuts. | 0.75 cr | 15.00 cr | 30.00 cr |
You buy credits directly on kie.ai once, using their checkout. Bureau reads your balance and uses credits as you generate scenes. Nothing flows through Bureau's billing system.
Bureau takes no margin on AI generation. You pay vendor pricing direct — same as if you used Veo3 through any other tool. Bureau's value is the pipeline (research, script, assembly, export), which is free during early access.
No. kie.ai credits never expire — buy what you need, use them whenever.
All included free during early access. Bureau pays the vendor costs (ElevenLabs, Pexels, Anthropic) on your behalf for now. This may change at general launch.
Refunded automatically. Bureau watches for upstream failures from kie.ai and credits back the cost of any clip that didn't deliver.
Probably yes at general launch — likely a flat monthly fee or one-time founder rate. Early access members will be grandfathered. Generation costs (kie.ai) will always pass through at vendor pricing regardless.
