Generate a TikTok video with AI, from a written idea
Last checked
Koda turns a written idea into a finished vertical video without leaving the page: it writes the script, generates the images and clips, records a voice-over, burns in the subtitles and assembles the 9:16 montage. A complete video using the cheapest model of each family costs about 226 Koda Coins, where one coin represents $0.001 of real provider cost — so roughly 23 cents of compute before anyone's margin.
What actually happens between the idea and the file
Six steps, each handled by a different model family and each billed separately, which is why the total is a number rather than a subscription tier.
| Step | What it produces |
|---|---|
| Script | The spoken text and the shot list, from your written idea |
| Images | The still frames the clips are built from |
| Clips | Short generated video segments |
| Voice-over | The narration, synthesised |
| Subtitles | Burned in, positioned for the vertical safe area |
| Montage | Assembled and rendered 9:16 |
Why the price is in coins rather than in videos
Because a video is not one price. A five-second clip from the cheapest model and a talking avatar from the most expensive differ by more than an order of magnitude, and a plan that promised "50 videos" would have to assume which one you picked.
One Koda Coin represents $0.001 of what the underlying provider actually charges. That is the whole mechanism, and it is written down rather than hidden because the alternative is a quota that silently means something different depending on your choices.
| Plan | Coins per month |
|---|---|
| Free | 200 — about 0 full videos |
| Starter | 3,000 — about 13 full videos |
| Growth | 10,000 — about 44 full videos |
| Pro | 20,000 — about 88 full videos |
| Business | 42,000 — about 185 full videos |
Why there is a daily cap on top of the coins
Video is the expensive operation, and without a per-day ceiling a single account could burn a month of provider cost in one sitting — which is a cash-flow problem before it is a fairness one.
So the cap is a rate rule, not a coin rule: 1 a day on the free tier, 10 on Starter, 30 on Growth, 80 on Pro, and uncapped on Business.
What this does not do
- It is not a video editor. There is no timeline, and you cannot open someone else's footage and cut it.
- It does not produce long-form. The output is short vertical video.
- It will not make a good video out of a vague idea. The script is only as specific as what you describe.
Frequently asked
- How much does an AI-generated TikTok video cost?
- About 226 Koda Coins for a complete one on the economy path — script, image, clip, voice-over, burned-in subtitles and montage. A coin represents $0.001 of real provider cost, so roughly 23 cents of compute.
- Can AI generate a TikTok video from just a text prompt?
- Yes — that is the path here: you describe the idea, and the script, visuals, voice and edit are produced from it. The more specific the idea, the less generic the result.
- Why is there a daily video limit as well as a monthly one?
- Because video is the expensive operation. The monthly coin grant is a budget; the daily cap is a rate limit that stops a month of provider cost going out in an afternoon.
