How is hilens.ai different from Midjourney, Runway, or Sora?

hilens.ai is pay-per-credit. There is no monthly subscription. Buy a credit pack from $0.99, use any of our models (Nano Banana 2, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, HappyHorse 1.1, Seedance 2.0, and HiDream-O1-image-1.5 — all live), and credits never expire. Subscriptions force a monthly commitment, expiring credits, and per-tier model gating. hilens removes all three.

How does $5 give me real generation volume?

$5 buys 1,000 credits. That covers ~333 Nano Banana 2 images, ~31 Kling 3.0 videos, ~25 Veo 3.1, or ~17 HappyHorse videos. Mix and match — credits work across all models.

Are there really no recurring charges?

Yes. There is no monthly fee, no auto-renew, no trial-to-paid trap, no subscription tier to cancel. You buy a credit pack one time. The credits stay until empty. We send you a receipt; nothing more.

When does a subscription beat pay-per-credit?

If you generate 200+ images or 30+ videos consistently every month, a heavy subscription tier on a single-model platform may cost less per image than mixing models on hilens. For irregular users (most prosumer creators), pay-per-credit is cheaper and the credits never expire.

Yes — within 7 days of purchase, if the pack is unused, you can request a full refund. Once any credits have been spent, the pack becomes non-refundable.
