Is Quso.ai Free? Free Plan, Credits and Export Limits Tested
Quso.ai is an AI video repurposing tool. It offers AI clips, subtitles, an editor, a brand kit and social media scheduling in one dashboard. I tested its free plan twice, in May 2026 and again on 27 August 2026, to see whether a free account can turn a video into clips.
⚠️ Is Quso.ai Free?
There is a free plan with 75 credits a month, but it cannot make a single clip. In both of our tests, pressing Generate clips opened a payment prompt instead of processing the video.
- What works for free: signup, the dashboard, adding a YouTube link or an MP4, and seeing the credit cost
- What does not: generating clips, so there is nothing to export, download or check for a watermark
- Credits: 75 a month, visible in the app but impossible to spend on clips
- Cheapest way in: Lite at $29 a month, or $19 a month on annual billing
Our verdict: fine for looking around the interface, not for testing what the tool produces. Of the four AI clipping tools we test, Quso is the only one whose free plan gives you no file at all.

What the free plan allows (tested twice)
Where it stops
In May 2026, I added a YouTube link and then an MP4. Both reached the settings screen, which showed the video, a language choice, caption styles and a credit estimate. When I pressed Generate clips, a payment prompt opened. No processing started and no credits were taken.
The YouTube link reached the settings screen, which quoted about 8 credits.
Pressing Generate clips opened this payment prompt instead of processing the video.
⚠️ The prices in this prompt are in Indian rupees, not US dollars. Quso's in-app prompts show your local currency, and this one also shows a 50% discount. Read Quso's dollar prices from its public pricing page, not from inside the app.
What changed by August
We tested again on 27 August 2026 with a 90-second MP4, to check whether anything had changed. Generate clips still opened a payment prompt, and no clips were made. Three things were different.
The prompt now appears earlier. It opens as soon as you choose a file, before the settings screen. You can close it and carry on to the settings screen, but a free user now sees a price before anything else.
Your credits are visible but cannot be spent. Behind the prompt, the settings screen read "2 min · needs ~2 credits · 75 left". The 75 credits are real and the app counts them. You just cannot use them to make clips. For that reason, we do not turn the 75 credits into a "videos per month" figure.
You can pay for one video. The prompt offers "Generate clips from 1 video. No monthly commitment." This option is not on the public pricing page, which lists only Free, Lite, Essential and Growth.
Other free-plan details
- Credit balance: in May, the billing page confirmed the Free Plan but did not show the 75 credits. The balance only appeared later, on the settings screen.
- File formats: an MKV file was rejected with a message that only MP4, WebM and QuickTime are accepted. Quso's homepage FAQ also lists M4V.
- Upload size: Quso's FAQ says free users can upload files up to 5GB, and paid users up to 15GB. We did not test this.
- Storage: the pricing page lists 7 days of data retention on the free plan.
- Extra credits: the pricing FAQ says you can only buy top-up credits on a paid plan.
The MKV file was rejected, and the message lists the accepted formats.
What we could not test
Because no clip was ever made, we could not check clip quality, caption accuracy, reframing, the editor, export, download or the watermark. Quso's pricing page lists "Watermark" as part of the free plan, but we have never seen a free Quso file to confirm where it appears. More on that in Quso.ai watermark.
If you need a free plan you can take all the way to a downloaded file, Vizard AI's free plan let us do that. The file is watermarked, but it is a real file.

Quso.ai pricing
Quso's public pricing page on 14 September 2026. This page shows US dollars wherever you view it from. Annual plans cost less per month and also come with twice the credits, which is why each plan shows a credit range.
We rechecked these prices on 12 August 2026.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Storage | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 75 a month | 7 days | 720p, watermark |
| Lite | $29 a month, or $19 a month on annual billing | 100–200 | 10GB | 1080p export, AI video generator, resizing |
| Essential | $39 a month, or $26 a month on annual billing | 300 | 25GB | Silence and filler removal, stock media, one-click publishing, unlimited post scheduling |
| Growth | $49 a month, or $33 a month on annual billing | 600–1,800 | 75GB | Bulk publishing, analytics, full and clip transcripts |
If you want silence removal, note that Lite does not include it. You need Essential or Growth. To compare these prices with the other tools we test, see our creator tool pricing tables.
The free billing page in May 2026 showed the plan name but not the credit balance.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Signup is free and needs no credit card.
- YouTube links and MP4 uploads are accepted.
- The credit cost is shown before you commit.
- The format error tells you which files work.
- There is a pay-per-video option if you only need one video.
Cons
- The free plan cannot generate a single clip.
- A payment prompt now appears as soon as you choose a file.
- Nothing about the output can be tested for free.
- MKV files are rejected.
- In-app prices show your local currency, which makes them easy to misread.
- Most other AI tools in the dashboard are also behind a payment prompt.
Who should try Quso.ai, and who should skip it
Try it if you want to look at the dashboard, the import options and the settings before deciding to pay. If you only need clips from one video, the pay-per-video option may be cheaper than a plan.
Skip the free plan if you want to judge clip quality, captions or the watermark before paying. The free plan cannot show you any of those. Test a tool whose free plan produces a file, such as Vizard AI or OpusClip.

Final verdict
Quso.ai's free plan lets you in, but it does not let you make anything. We tested it twice, five months apart, and the result was the same: every attempt to generate clips opened a payment prompt. The 75 monthly credits are real, but they cannot be spent on clips.
If you are considering Quso, decide based on its paid plans and on other people's output, not on the free plan. If you want to test AI clipping for free first, start with a tool that gives you a file.
