Is On The Radar AI Free? What Costs Credits and What Doesn't
Is On The Radar AI free? Only the parts before the render. Making the actual clip uses credits (10 at 480p, 25 at 720p), and new accounts do not come with free credits. The cheapest way in is the $9.99 Single pack, which holds exactly one 480p clip. What you can do for nothing: read every guide, load your two photos, try Swap sides, read the scene prompt and see the exact price before you pay. Downloads carry no watermark, and a failed render gives its credits back.

Why On The Radar AI Has No Free Tier
Each clip is generated by ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model, and we pay the provider for every render, including the ones that fail and get refunded to you. A free allowance would have to be paid for somewhere, usually with ads, a watermark or a lower-quality clip. We chose a plain per-clip price instead.
That means a new account holds no free credits and there are no trial clips. If a page somewhere promises a free On The Radar AI video from us, it is not accurate. When a free offer elsewhere looks tempting, check whether it covers a full clip and a clean download before you upload anyone's photo.
Signing in is free, and the account keeps your finished clips in My Creations so you can download them again later.

Is There a Free 679 AI Video?
Rendering a clip requires credits. Every clip uses the 679 template soundtrack, added after the video renders.
You can keep the included soundtrack or replace it using the audio tools on the platform where you post. Check the music-use terms for your account and region. Our step-by-step tutorial explains the full workflow.
Is On The Radar AI Free to Try? What You Can Preview
You can preview everything except the rendered video itself. Before you spend a credit, you see your photos in their slots, which side each performer will stand on, the resolution you picked and the exact credit total on the button.
There is no free sample render of your own face. The clip only exists once Seedance 2.0 has generated it, and that is the step that costs money. If you want to judge the look first, the template page describes the scene, and the trend explainer covers where the booth style comes from.
Watermark, Refunds and Other Safety Nets
Paying should not feel like a gamble, so these rules apply to every clip.
No watermark. The MP4 you download has no logo or stamp from us. Mark the post as AI-made on whichever platform you use.
Failed renders refunded. If a render errors out, is stopped by the safety filter or the service is too busy, the credits go back to your balance without you asking.
Unspent packs within 7 days. Changed your mind? An untouched pack is refundable in full for a week after purchase; see the refund policy.
Pack credits never expire. Buy a Single now and render whenever you are ready.
Plans cancel anytime. Cancelling stops the next renewal; plan credits last for their billing period.
Your photos. They serve only as the reference for your clip, they stay out of any model training, and you can request deletion, as the privacy policy explains.
