Why Does ActionVFX Use Credits?
Freelancers and small teams need flexibility. That’s why our credit plans let you save up for busy periods while keeping costs manageable during slower months.
Here are a few key features of the ActionVFX credit plans:
- Credits roll over for 12 months, allowing you to save and spend them as you need.
- Save monthly costs by enrolling in a low-credit plan. If you need more credits, you can purchase additional credit packs (30% off during Black Friday!).
- Unlike previous ActionVFX subscription models, you're not locked into specific assets. Your credits can be used on any asset in our library.
Is ActionVFX a Good Option for Independent Artists?
While our assets are regularly used by large studios, ActionVFX is also a great option for more budget-conscious independent creators. Even if you're not looking for a year-round subscription, you can still benefit from the savings that credits provide due to the design of the credit model.
Wish subscriptions didn't lock your purchases behind a second paywall? One of the benefits of our ActionVFX credit plans is that you get to keep any assets you download, even if you cancel your plan. This allows independent creators who can't afford a month-over-month subscription to still benefit from the lower cost of credit plans compared to individual asset purchasing, without needing to pay for credits each month.
As long as you need more than one asset at a time, ActionVFX credit plans are a great option for you. These top deals of 2024 are great collections to start with!
Whether you're a solo creator or running a small team, ActionVFX’s credit plans are designed to help you save money without sacrificing quality. With 30% off starting November 26th, now is the perfect time to give us a try!
