how paying works
Top up seconds. Generate. Use it or run it again.
Pay anywhere from $15 (75 seconds) to $500 (2,500 seconds) at a time with PayPal. ReelToons 1.0 uses one second of balance per second: a 30-second reel uses 30. 1.0 Turbo uses two, so the same reel uses 60. Regenerating uses its seconds again. Need more than $500 at once? We’ll invoice you.
The shortest cartoon we make is 15 seconds. There’s no subscription, no retainer and nothing that renews while you’re not looking.
in every generation:
- 2D animation of your script — every scene you write, drawn and moved.
- Your characters, or generated ones — upload art or describe them.
- Your shape — 16:9, 9:16 or 3:4.
- Full HD MP4 — vertical 9:16 or horizontal 16:9.
- Commercial use — post it, boost it, run it as an ad.
no extra charges for any shape, your own characters or frogs.
pricing questions
Asked by actual humans.
What’s the smallest top-up?
$15, which buys 75 seconds: five 15-second cartoons on 1.0, or two on 1.0 Turbo with change. Unused seconds stay on your balance.
What’s the difference between 1.0 and 1.0 Turbo?
Speed. ReelToons 1.0 is ready in 16–24 hours and uses 1 second of balance per second. ReelToons 1.0 Turbo is ready in 2–5 hours and uses 2. Same model. Regenerations are charged again.
Do unused seconds expire?
No. They sit in your studio console until you use them. Gary guards them personally.
Does the shape change the price?
No. 16:9, 9:16 and 3:4 all cost the same.
When do I pay?
Upfront, through PayPal, in your console. You top up your balance with $15 to $500 at a time, and each generation uses its seconds from it.
What if I want to pay more than $500 at once?
Ask in your console and we’ll send an invoice instead.
Are there any other fees?
No. Seconds are the only thing you pay for. Using your own characters or voiceover doesn’t cost extra.
A 15-second cartoon costs less than a sandwich.
A fancy sandwich, admittedly. Bring your script and see it animated.
