What counts as an AI minute?
One AI minute = one minute of source video, no matter how many features you run on it. If you run silence removal + retake detection + captions on a 5-minute clip, that's 5 AI minutes — not 15. Run everything, pay once per minute.
Every plan is reversible
Trying EditBuddy never locks you in. Start free without a card, and if a paid plan doesn't earn its keep in your first week, we'll give your money back — no forms, no phone calls.
- 7-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan — email us within 7 days for a full refund. See the refund policy.
- Cancel anytime from your dashboard or via Paddle — access continues to the end of your billing period.
- No API key needed — Claude, GPT-4o and Gemini run through EditBuddy’s secure proxy, included in your plan.
Need more AI minutes?
Top up anytime from your dashboard. Minute packs never expire and roll over month-to-month. Great for a heavy editing week without changing your plan. Subscribers always get the best per-minute rate — top-ups are priced at a premium for occasional use.
Pricing FAQ
Is the free trial really free? Do I need a credit card?
Yes — really free. No credit card required. You get 7 days with 100 AI minutes and full Pro features. At day 7, your extension locks until you pick Pro or Max. Your trial data is kept for 30 days so you can come back.
What's the difference between Pro and Max?
Same AI, same features, same quality. The only differences: Max gets 2.5× more AI minutes (1,000 vs 400) and priority email support. Most creators pick Pro first and upgrade to Max once they hit the 400-minute cap.
What counts as an AI minute?
One minute of source video, regardless of how many features you run. A 5-minute clip with silence removal + captions + B-roll = 5 AI minutes, not 15. Input length is what counts.
Do you ever degrade AI quality on cheaper tiers?
Never. Pro gets the exact same retake detection, captions, B-roll AI, and Podcast editor as Max. We differentiate on volume and team features only — no watermarks, no slow queues, no weaker models.
Do plans auto-renew? Can I cancel anytime?
Paid plans auto-renew automatically — monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you pick — until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard or via Paddle, and access continues until the end of the current billing period. (The free 7-day trial needs no card and simply locks at day 7 — it does not auto-charge.)
Do you offer refunds?
Yes — 7-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. See the refund policy for full details.
What happens when I run out of AI minutes?
You can buy a top-up pack (starting at $5 for 125 min, or $14 for 350 min) or wait until your next billing cycle. Top-up minutes never expire and roll over month-to-month.
Do you offer team or volume pricing?
Yes. Team plans with multiple seats are coming soon. Email contact sales with your editor count for an early-access quote.
Is there a student or non-profit discount?
Yes — email contact sales with proof of status.
Can I earn from referring EditBuddy to other creators?
Yes. Our affiliate program pays a one-time 25% commission on every paid customer you refer (paid on their first subscription payment). Top creators can qualify for our Creator Partner Program and earn 35%. See the affiliate page for full details.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit/debit cards and PayPal, processed by Paddle (our merchant of record). Paddle handles tax in your region automatically.
