FAQ

Pricing & Architecture Questions

Clear answers on Studio Credits, local self-hosting, Apache 2.0 Kokoro voices, and 1–2s incremental edits.

What counts as a Studio Credit?

One full rendered scene (Whisper word alignment + Kokoro voiceover + Remotion motion pass) uses 4 credits. A 3D Blender stage pass uses 12 credits, and a 1–2s incremental delta edit on a single scene uses just 1 credit—unchanged scenes are served from cache at zero cost.

Is Free Self-Hosted really £0 forever?

Yes. Montajo's local Docker and Python CLI stack runs Whisper, Kokoro TTS, Remotion, and Blender 3D stage workers entirely on your own CPU/GPU. There are no seat limits, watermarks, or cloud credit meters when self-hosting.

Are Kokoro's 28 voices cleared for commercial work?

Yes. All 28 Kokoro v1.0 English voices are licensed under Apache 2.0, and Montajo's bundled typography (Unbounded, Figtree, JetBrains Mono) uses the SIL Open Font Licence, so your exported client and channel videos are commercially safe.

Why do 1–2s delta edits save so many credits?

Traditional cloud editors re-render the entire timeline for a single typo fix. Montajo only regenerates the modified scene clip and splices it via FFmpeg concat—so tweaking scene 2 of a 6-scene clip costs 1 credit instead of 24.

Can I switch plans or cancel anytime?

Yes. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately, and you can cancel your Creator (£20/mo) or Studio Pro (£45/mo) subscription at any time with zero lock-in. You can always export your project JSON and continue locally on Free Self-Hosted.

What happens if I need more than 1,500 credits?

Studio Pro users can add on-demand 500-credit top-up packs at £15, or offload overflow batch renders to a local self-hosted worker node using the exact same project files.
