Leonardo AI Pricing 2026: Plans and Real Cost per Video
Leonardo starts at $12/month ($10/month billed yearly) for 8,500 Fast Tokens, and the free plan gives 150 tokens a day. The cost of one video can't be worked out from public pages, because Leonardo shows token costs only in the app. The one fixed price is Ultimate at $60/month, which includes unlimited relaxed video on its own Motion models.

Credits
What the credits actually buy
"Video token costs vary by model and your desired output settings. The cost of generation is shown on the button before generating." Leonardo does not publish per-model token costs for video or images. Premium and Ultimate include unlimited relaxed image generation on select models. Third-party models (Veo 3 and 3.1, Kling 2.5 Turbo, Kling 2.1 Pro, Seedream, Nano Banana Pro and others) never qualify for relaxed or unlimited generation. Top-up tokens never expire but need an active subscription.
The derived number
What one 8-second video really costs
The unit: one short Motion 2.0 video (Leonardo shows token costs only in the app, and an 8-second length was not confirmed). Plan price divided by what one output consumes.
| Plan | Cost of one | How we got it |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate (relaxed, Motion 2.0), at 100 videos a month | $0.60 | Relaxed Motion 2.0 uses no tokens on Ultimate, so the flat $60/month spread over 100 videos is $0.60 each ($0.48 billed yearly). Fewer videos cost more each; the relaxed queue sets how many you can actually make. |
| Any plan, Fast Tokens, any model | n/a | The token cost per video is shown only in the app. |
Heavy use
What 100 videos a month cost
| Plan | 100 a month | How we got it |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate | $60 | Unlimited relaxed video on Motion 1.0, 2.0 and 2.0 Fast in a lower-priority queue, if Motion 2.0 fits the job and the queue allows 100 clips. $48/month billed yearly. |
| Essential / Premium | n/a | Not computable: the token cost per video is not published. |
One plan, every model
Paying for Leonardo AI and three other AI tools?
Hooked Pro is $29 a month for 1,000 credits across Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2, plus AI UGC ads, captions and TikTok slideshows in the same plan. Or pay $89 once for the Studio and run it on your own API keys, at the provider's price.
Same yardstick
The same maths on Hooked
Leonardo does not publish what a video costs, so a per-clip comparison is not possible; if Motion 2.0 is enough, Ultimate's unlimited relaxed video at $60/month can be cheaper at volume. Hooked lists its costs: an 8-second Veo 3.1 Lite clip at 720p is 32 credits ($0.93 on Pro at $29/month), Kling 3.0 at 1080p is 72 credits ($2.09), and a Nano Banana Pro image is 13 credits ($0.38). On Studio ($89 one-time, bring your own API keys) you pay the provider, for example $0.32 for that Veo clip.
| On Hooked | Credits | Pro, monthly | Pro, yearly | Studio, your own key | 100 a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Veo 3.1 Lite, 720p | 32 | $0.93 | $0.77 | $0.32 to the provider | $116 (Pro + 1 × 1,500-credit pack + 2 × 500-credit pack) |
| Kling 3.0, 1080p | 72 | $2.09 | $1.74 | $0.72 to the provider | $235 (Pro + 1 × 4,000-credit pack + 1 × 1,500-credit pack + 2 × 500-credit pack) |
| Veo 3.1 Fast, 720p | 80 | $2.32 | $1.93 | $0.80 to the provider | $246 (Pro + 1 × 4,000-credit pack + 2 × 1,500-credit pack) |
| Seedance 2.0 Fast | 88 | $2.55 | $2.13 | $0.96 to the provider | $267 (Pro + 2 × 4,000-credit pack) |
Pro is $29/month or $290/year for 1,000 credits a month; extra credits come in packs from $19 for 500. The Studio is $89 once and runs on your own API keys, so you pay the model provider directly at their rate.
