VidAU generates ready-to-run video ads from a product URL, product images, or a script.
Score: 6.9/10. VidAU is a broad platform that combines video and image models with ad tools and commercial rights. Unclear per-generation costs, narrow refunds, and conflicting pages call for care.
Ideal user: An online store owner or content creator who needs video and image ads regularly, watches credits closely, and doesn't handle sensitive data.
Alternative: If you need only one model, try it from its owner, like Google's Veo or OpenAI's Sora, and check their current prices.
Bottom line: Start with the free credits and don't generate until you've decided. Then subscribe to Starter monthly, watch your credit use, and confirm the current plan and fees with support in writing before a bigger commitment.
Skip VidAU if you need a fixed, predictable price per video. The pages reviewed don't publish per-operation credit costs, and the plan equivalents are inconsistent. If you only need one model, try it from its owner, like Google's Veo or OpenAI's Sora, and check their current prices.
Skip it if you want flexible refunds. A refund is possible only within 7 days of a first purchase with no credits used, plus a service fee of up to 6%. Renewals aren't refundable.
Skip it if your work requires documented compliance certificates. The pages reviewed show no security certifications. The Terms set binding arbitration under Hong Kong law and make you fully responsible for what you generate.
You sell a product and need video and image ads without a shoot. VidAU puts 20+ video and image models in one subscription, with commercial use rights on paid plans. The catch: credits don't roll over, and the cost of each generation isn't clearly published.
The task: You have a product photo and need a short ad for social media.
VidAU publishes no documented times for these steps, only marketing figures like a 180% average conversion lift. The credits a typical video needs aren't published, so work them out from the page's counter on your first try.
At $29/month, Starter equals about 23 minutes of your time at $75/hour. Lite at $14.90 is about 12 minutes, and the $89 plan is about 71 minutes.
The math works if you'll make ads regularly without filming. One version of the pricing page says Lite equals 7 fast Seedance 2.0 videos, about $2.13 per video at list price.
It weakens if you try many models and regenerate often, since each attempt spends credits. Unused credits are lost each month, and a refund needs zero credits used.
Free plan: The page says you start with free credits to try VidAU's agents before upgrading. The pages reviewed don't state the amount, and the Terms say complimentary credits can be withdrawn at any time.
Lite: $14.90/month: 1,490 credits a month, equal to 60 Nano Banana Pro generations. One version of the page adds that it equals 7 fast Seedance 2.0 videos. It includes 10+ video and image models, avatars, toolkits, and an avatar library.
Starter: $29/month (was $39.60): 3,960 credits a month, equal to 500 Nano Banana Pro generations. The page calls it a better fit for more credits, custom templates, extra storage, and faster generation.
Third plan: $89/month (was $98): 9,800 credits a month, equal to 900 Nano Banana Pro generations, and everything in Starter. A page banner says the Business plan is best value at 42% off on annual billing, so this plan's name isn't clear.
Growth and Enterprise: The page says both offer flexible credit management. The comparison table lists API access, analytics, and priority support, but its marks didn't come through in the text. Enterprise is a separate contract.
Cost per credit: At list price, credits cost $0.01 each across Lite, Starter, and the third plan. After the shown discounts, a Starter credit costs about $0.0073 and a third-plan credit about $0.0091. These are my calculations from the published numbers.
Credit packs: One-time credit packs stack with any plan. The readable text shows no pack prices.
Monthly vs annual: The page has a monthly and annual toggle and a limited-time annual offer of up to 42% off. A site banner also advertises 30% off. The readable text doesn't say which toggle the shown prices reflect, so check before paying.
Price history: The Terms say VidAU may change prices at any time, and increases take effect the day they're posted. Material changes to the Terms take effect 30 days after notice.
If you cancel: Turn off auto-renewal in account settings, and you keep using the plan until the term ends, with no refund. VidAU may delete your content on termination but isn't required to, so download your outputs first.
You click "Sign up" and enter Creative Studio, which has a creation box. You pick the job (image, frame, or text to video), the model, the duration, and audio. A counter shows the credits needed.
The strongest early moment is how many ways there are to start. You can begin from a product image, a link, or a description, then pick a model. Ready-made templates cover ads and user-generated-style content.
Friction comes from credits and choice. You face 16 video models, and the pages reviewed don't publish each one's cost.
A refund is possible only if you haven't used any credits, so don't generate until you've decided. The pages don't mention a card requirement for the free plan, and VidAU publishes no time estimate for a first video.
The homepage shows products as cards: the creative studio, agents, paid media, and apps. It also shows hundreds of templates in categories like TikTok ads, UGC-style content, and product photography.
These are marketing pages, and the pages reviewed show the working interface only in illustrative images. Generation speed and output quality can't be described from official sources.

The listed channels are the help center, a learning center, Discord, and support@vidau.ai, which also takes refund requests with your account email and payment ID. Apps are in both stores.
VidAU publishes no response time and doesn't say whether support differs by plan. "Priority Support" appears in the comparison table without naming a plan. The Terms require a 60-day informal dispute attempt before arbitration.
The service is provided "as is," with no promise of uninterrupted operation. If you deliver an ad to a client on a deadline, keep a copy of the output outside the platform.
This review doesn't use review sites or forums, so it includes no summary of independent opinions. That's a known limit of this review.
The homepage shows testimonials claiming results like 180% and 110% conversion lifts and a 60% cut in software spend. It also shows logos from brands like TCL, SHEIN, Alibaba, and Anker, and repeats first names like "Sofia" and "Daniel" across different roles.
These are materials the company chose, and some lack full names, so treat them as marketing. The figures also use different measures: 500,000 creators on the page and 20,000 brands in its description. Look for independent feedback that matches your use case.
