Paid plans start at $19.99/mo. There's also a free plan.
ShortMake has a free tier with an unpublished credit allowance, then paid plans start at $19.99 per month for Starter. Creator is listed at $29.99 monthly or $23.99 per month with annual billing; Pro is $49.99 monthly. The plans bundle credits, realistic voiceovers, HD video and watermark removal, but the credit cost of making a video isn’t published in the details we found. That makes it hard to estimate how many finished shorts a subscription buys. The free signup requires no credit card.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Credit use per video
The plan details list monthly credits but not the credits needed for a script, voiceover, visual or finished video.
Free credit allowance
Free Tier includes credits, but the amount and any renewal schedule are not published in the details we found.
Pro credit discrepancy
Pro is listed with 4,000 monthly credits, while some listings say 5,000. Confirm the allowance before paying.
Annual price mismatch
A 30% annual discount is advertised, but Creator’s listed $23.99 rate is about 20% below its $29.99 monthly price.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| People trying the workflow | Free Tier | Try content generation without a credit card; the credit allowance is not published. |
| Light video creators | Starter | At $19.99/month, it includes 1,000 credits, four realistic voiceovers, HD video and watermark removal. |
| Regular creators | Creator | It includes 2,000 credits and 10 realistic voiceovers; the listed annual rate is $23.99/month. |
04Is ShortMake worth the money?
ShortMake’s value is in bundling scripts, visuals, voiceovers and short-form video creation, with subtitle styles and watermark removal also listed. Starter costs $19.99 a month, while Pro costs $49.99, but the unknown credit cost per finished video makes those prices difficult to compare against your output needs. Creator’s annual price and the advertised discount also don’t line up cleanly. It may suit creators who want the bundled workflow, but check the credit rules before committing.
ShortMake pricing FAQ
How much does ShortMake cost per month?
The listed paid plans start with Starter at $19.99 per month. Creator is $29.99 monthly or $23.99 per month with annual billing, and Pro is $49.99 monthly. Free Tier costs $0, but its credit allowance is not published in the details we found.
Does ShortMake have a free plan?
Yes. ShortMake lists a Free Tier with free credits, and signup does not require a credit card. The credit allotment is not published, so the free option confirms you can try content generation but not how many videos or generations those credits cover.
Is ShortMake a good app for creating shorts?
ShortMake is built to turn ideas into scripts, visuals, voiceovers and short-form videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Snapchat. It lists 23 subtitle styles. Whether it suits you depends partly on credit use per finished video, which the plan details do not specify.
How much should I charge for a 2-minute video or 30-second edit?
ShortMake’s subscription prices do not set a client rate for your editing work. The information available does not include market rates or a per-video production cost, and credit use is unclear. Set your quote based on your own labor and costs rather than treating the monthly plan price as a rate card.
