Every plan buys the same thing: the Outstanding Tiny Desk clip with you on lead vocals and, if you like, four friends on sax, keys and backing vocals. Tinydesk AI pricing starts at zero, since sign-up comes with 20 credits on the house, the price of one 4-second Lite video. Tinydesk AI is an independent fan-made tool, not affiliated with NPR, Tiny Desk Concerts, Charlie Wilson or The Gap Band.

How does Tinydesk AI pricing work?
Tinydesk AI pricing runs on credits. Each version has a fixed cost: Lite 20, Standard 100 and Full 200, whether you fill one seat or all five. Plans add credits monthly or once a year, packs add them once, and the button shows the cost before anything renders.
How much does one Outstanding video cost?
Under Tinydesk AI pricing, a 10-second Standard video with up to five people costs between $5.00 and $9.99. Monthly Starter gives one for $9.99; on a yearly plan it falls to $6.00 (Starter), $5.52 (Pro) or $5.00 (Studio). A Full 19-second video uses twice the credits of a Standard.
Does Tinydesk AI pricing include free credits?
Yes. Sign-up comes with 20 credits on the house, the cost of one Lite video: the 4-second close-up with your photo as the lead singer, in 480p. It shows how a photo turns out before you pay for the band versions; the tiny desk AI free page covers what else costs nothing.
Does adding more people cost more?
No. Under Tinydesk AI pricing the version sets the cost, not the number of faces. A Standard video costs 100 credits with only the lead replaced and the same 100 with all five seats filled, so casting the whole band is the better deal.
Which version should I pick?
Lite is the free test: the laugh, lead only. Standard is the one most people post, 10 continuous seconds with the band, the close-up and the start of the sax solo. Full is the whole 19-second clip as it went viral, at twice the credits of Standard.
What happens if a render fails?
Nothing is charged. When a render fails or the content filter blocks it, the credits are returned at once, so you can retry with a different photo. Tinydesk AI pricing only counts videos that finish and can be downloaded.
How do renewals and cancelling work?
Monthly plans bill again every month and yearly plans every twelve months, until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next charge; credits you already have stay usable until that billing period ends. Credit packs never renew and last 12 months from purchase.
