4 Free AI Video Generators and What Their Free Plans Include

Four AI video generators let you make clips without paying: Google Flow, Dreamina, Kling and Hailuo. Google Flow is the most generous. Google's own help page says you get 50 Flow credits a day, with or without a subscription, and a Veo 3.1 Lite clip costs 10. That's five clips a day.

The other three have free plans too, but with more catches: fewer credits, watermarks, or no commercial use.

Below is what each free plan gives you, according to each company's own pages on 11 October 2026, how to make your first clip in Flow, and every link. Free allowances change often, so check your own account before you plan around them.

What does each free AI video generator give you?

Google Flow: 50 free credits a day

Flow is Google's AI video tool, built on its Veo models. Google says you get 50 credits a day, with or without a subscription, and they refresh with your first generation of the day. A Veo 3.1 Lite clip costs 10 credits, so that's five clips. A Veo 3.1 Quality clip costs 100, so it's out of reach on the free allowance.

There are catches. You need to be 18 or over and in a supported region. Between roughly 2pm and 5pm UTC, Google says you may not be able to make videos without a subscription. And every Flow video carries Google's invisible SynthID watermark.

Dreamina: free daily credits, running Seedance

Dreamina is CapCut's AI creation tool, and its video generator runs the Seedance models. Its own page says it gives you free daily credits, but it doesn't say how many.

It also has a 480p preview mode, so you can test an idea before you spend more credits on it.

Kling: a free plan for testing motion

Kling has a free Basic plan. Its pricing page lists daily free credits as a subscriber benefit, though, so on the free plan your credits come from occasional promotions.

Watermark removal, 1080p and 4K video, and commercial use are all for paid plans. In the video, Kling is the one for movement, like a person walking or a slow camera pan.

Hailuo: sign-up credits for realistic faces

Hailuo runs MiniMax's video models, and new users get free credits when they sign up. After that, its FAQ says what you can make on the free plan depends on the credits you have left.

Watermark-free downloads come with its paid plans. In the video, Hailuo is the one to reach for when a clip needs a realistic face.

How do you make your first free AI video in Flow?

1. Open Flow and sign in

Open Flow in Chrome or Edge, because Google says it needs a Chromium-based browser, and sign in with your Google account.

Google's get-started page lists a paid Google AI plan among Flow's requirements, while its credits page says the 50 daily credits come with or without one. If Flow asks you to subscribe, that's why.

2. Pick Veo 3.1 Lite and write one shot

Veo 3.1 Lite is the cheapest video model at 10 credits a clip, so it's the one to use on the free allowance. Describe one shot: who or what is in it, what happens, and how the camera moves.

Make your videos outside roughly 2pm to 5pm UTC, when Google says free users may be blocked from video.

3. Run the same prompt everywhere

Paste the same prompt into Dreamina, Kling and Hailuo, then compare the four clips. That's the test from the video, and on free credits it costs you nothing.
