Free

Hotel Lobby AI free: what you actually get

Every new account gets 10 credits — enough for one free 5-second preview, watermark-free. Here is exactly what that covers and what a full video costs after it.

No card required · No watermark · No app to install

Included

What the 10 free credits cover

10 credits on your first sign-in, no card required

One full render — enough for a 5-second Lite video

No watermark on the free render

Performance audio included

Downloadable MP4 you can post immediately

Not included

What the free credits do not cover

Stated plainly, so nothing is a surprise at checkout.

More than one render — a second render needs more credits

15-second length — the free credits cover 5 seconds

720p or 1080p — Lite is 480p

The sharper Plus or Ultra models

Why the free tier is one render, not unlimited

A render costs real compute, and the preview exists to answer one question: does this look like the two of you? One render at 5 seconds and 480p answers that. If it does, the full-length version is what you actually wanted anyway.

If the preview comes back wrong, that is almost always the photos rather than the settings — check the photo rules before spending anything.

How to claim

Get the 10 credits

Three steps, and only the first one is new.

Sign in

Create an account with email or Google. No card, no trial clock — the credits appear on your balance the moment you sign in for the first time.

Upload two photos

One front-facing photo of each person. Two separate photos, one person each — not a single photo of both.

Render the 5-second Lite preview

Select 5 seconds and the Lite tier. The button shows 10 credits, which is exactly your free balance, and the finished video arrives in about three minutes.

Alternatives

How other free routes compare

Free is not only about price — it is about how much work is left after the download.

Route	What free gets you	What is left to do
Hotel Lobby AI	One full 5-second render, no watermark, 10 credits on signup	Nothing — download and post
Motion-transfer tools	A small trial credit balance	Find the source clip, trim it, write a prompt, and accept a watermark on free output
CapCut templates	A free template and a free editor	Cut around the template yourself, line up the audio, and paste faces by hand
Doing it by hand	Free software	Hours of tracking and masking, and it still will not produce two independent performers

FAQ

Free credits questions

The small print, in plain language.

Do I need a credit card for the free render?

No. Sign in and 10 credits are added to your balance. No card, no trial period, no automatic charge at the end.

What exactly does the free render produce?

One video: 5 seconds, 480p (the Lite tier), with the performance audio and no watermark. That is the 10-credit combination.

Is the free video watermarked?

No. Free and paid renders are both watermark-free and downloadable.

What happens after I use the free credits?

You keep the account and the video. A second render needs more credits — the cheapest monthly plan is $1.99 for 1 full 15-second videos.

Do failed renders eat my free credits?

No. If a render fails, times out or trips a content filter, the credits go straight back to your balance. You only ever pay for a finished video.

Can I get the free credits more than once?

The bonus is granted once per account, on first sign-in. It is tracked per account and cannot be re-claimed by signing out and back in.
