Start with Signup Bonus Credits, then use the lowest-credit model paths for more tests per budget: Veo Lite video from 10 credits/sec, flexible Kling 3s motion probes from 96 credits, and image drafts from 25 credits.
Lowest per-second video
10 credits/sec
Veo 3.1 Lite has the most competitive current per-second video pricing in AuraTuner. Use it when the brief already fits a fixed 8-second clip.
Flexible short video tests
from 96 credits/run
Kling 3.0 is selected here for flexible duration control, not because it has the lowest per-second price. The editor defaults to a 10-second setup, while the 3-second minimum keeps a single motion probe competitive when you only need a quick read.
Lower-cost image path
from 25 credits
Nano Banana 2 at 1K is the cheapest Gemini/Nano Banana image path. It is built for volume: more prompt attempts, more reference edits, and more draft directions per credit budget.
Low-cost all-rounder
from 25 credits
WAN 2.7 Image at its lowest tier is a cheap all-rounder for controlled image drafts. It keeps the entry cost low while still exposing direction controls.
Lite image model
from 30 credits
Seedream 5.0 Lite gives you a 2K photorealistic draft path at 30 credits per image, which is useful when you want cleaner realism without jumping into premium image pricing.
Treat credits as test budget. The first question is not which model is best; it is what you need to learn before spending on a final pass.
Free start
First contact with the studio
Use the free entry to check the editor, try a low-cost image draft path, or run a very small video probe. It is not enough for broad comparison, but it tells you whether the workflow fits your source material.
Lite
A small test set
Good for one focused direction: several 25-credit image drafts plus a few short Kling motion tests, or a small number of Veo Lite checks once the prompt is already narrow.
Pro 5K
One campaign direction
Enough room to test image direction, motion style, and a handful of final candidates for one product, ad hook, or social concept without treating every run as precious.
Pro 10K / 20K / 30K
Variant production
Use these tiers when you already know the workflow works and need multiple products, aspect ratios, prompt variants, or final passes across a campaign batch.
Use lower-cost paths when the question is still basic: does this prompt describe the shot, does the product framing survive motion, or does the image direction deserve more credits?
Upgrade after the direction is chosen. Spend more when you are improving a known candidate, adding audio, raising resolution, or producing campaign variants from a working base.
