Free to start. Then credits, one dollar each.

No subscription, no seats, no card to sign up. Your first script import and first VFX breakdown are on us; after that you buy credits and spend them only on what you generate.

Your first organisation

The first organisation you create carries the trial. It is a number of runs, not a credit balance, so there is nothing to spend by accident.

  • 01 One script import — or one storyboard ingest, whichever you start with. A very long script may be parsed in part on the free run; Sophie tells you how far it got.
  • 02 One VFX breakdown — your VFX shots estimated in script order, so you reach a costed breakdown before paying anything. A breakdown with credits covers whatever a long script's free run left.
  • 03 Everything that is not generation — editing, omitting and re-coding shots, the rate card, the Excel export, inviting your team, sharing with guests. None of it is metered.

Credits

One credit is one US dollar

Credits are prepaid and spent per run. What a run costs depends on what it makes and at which quality, and every run is listed with its cost in the project's cost screen.

  • — Breakdowns after the first, and recomputes of any breakdown.
  • — Reference images for characters, props, vehicles, environments and effects.
  • — Storyboard frames, Draft or Detailed.
  • — Previz clips, four seconds per shot.

How credits work

Buy them when you need them

Pay by card from inside Sophie. Automatic top-ups exist, but they are off until you switch them on, and you set the amounts.

They do not expire

Credits stay in your organisation's balance for as long as the account is open. Prep is bursty; your balance should not punish a quiet month.

Nobody pays per seat

Invite as many members as the show needs. Guests you share a project with see it free, and spend nothing unless you allow them to.

Studios and productions

When a card is not how you buy.

We can set up your organisation for you, grant credits against an arrangement rather than a card, and run Sophie under your production's own confidentiality terms. And when a show needs something Sophie does not do, HybridVFX builds pipelines to order.

Questions about pricing

Is there a free plan?
There is a free start rather than a free plan: one script import and one VFX breakdown for your first organisation, with no card and no time limit. Images and video always run on credits. We may change the trial; the Terms of Service say how.
Why credits and not a subscription?
Because pre-production is bursty. A bid week generates a lot, the month after generates nothing, and a subscription charges the same for both. Credits charge for what you make.
Does the free import cover the whole script?
A script of ordinary length, yes. The free run has a budget, so a very long script is parsed from the start until it is spent, and Sophie tells you how much was covered. A paid import covers the rest.
What does a storyboard frame or a previz clip cost?
It depends on the quality you pick and on what the run makes, so we do not print one number here. Each project's cost screen lists every run and what it cost, down to the frame.
Are credits refundable?
Credits spent on a run are spent, whatever you think of the result, and purchased credits are not refundable — except that when a run fails for a reason that is ours, you tell us and we normally re-credit it. The Terms of Service are the binding version.
Can my client see the bid?
Share the project with them as a guest. They see the breakdown as quoted and nothing else in your organisation, and it costs neither of you anything.

Start with the free breakdown.

Upload a script, get the scene and shot tree and a costed VFX breakdown, and decide about credits afterwards.
