Referrals & Billing

Reelsy now includes a referral program with 10 signup credits and 20% subscription commissions.

This release adds a full referral flow to Reelsy. Creators can share a personal invite link, earn 10 credits when a new user signs up through that link, and earn a 20% commission when that referred user starts a paid subscription.

10credits awarded per referred signup
20%commission on paid subscriptions
30 dayshold period before payout becomes available

  1. Invite links now grant 10 credits for each successful referred signup

    Each creator now gets a dedicated referral link. When a new user registers through that link, the referrer automatically receives 10 credits without needing manual review or support intervention.

  2. Paid subscriptions from referred users now generate a 20% referral commission

    When a referred user completes a paid subscription, Reelsy records a commission worth 20% of the amount actually paid on the invoice and moves it into the referral ledger automatically.

  3. Referral payout details, commission status, and admin review are now tracked in product

    Referrers can submit payout details from their dashboard, while admins can review invite activity, payout readiness, notes, and completed transfers from the referral management view.

Content Studio

Content Studio now includes a new generated case library with one-click reuse and inline video previews.

This release adds a new generated case library inside Content Studio. Creators can browse real finished examples, click any case to load its inputs instantly, and preview the output video directly from the deck before generating again.

10generated cases available at launch
1-clickreuse from case to workspace
inlinevideo preview inside the deck

  1. Content Studio now has a case library built from real generated videos

    Instead of generic placeholder cards, the workspace now opens with a browsable library of real generated Content Studio examples so creators can start from outputs that already reflect actual use cases.

  2. Clicking a case now loads the matching use case, text inputs, URLs, CTA, and assets

    Case selection now takes the chosen example and pushes its real setup straight into the workspace, so creators can reuse the same structure without rebuilding the brief manually.

  3. Case cards can now preview the finished video inline

    The active card in the library now plays its real finished output inside the deck, so creators can judge pacing, hook strength, and creative style before deciding to reuse that case.

Pricing & Onboarding

New free users now start with 15 credits, with 20 extra credits available through Discord.

This release restores automatic signup credits for new free users, keeps Billing and onboarding aligned, and makes the landing banner point to the Discord path for claiming 20 extra credits.

15default credits for new free users
20extra Discord credits available
2credit reward paths clarified

  1. New free accounts now receive 15 credits at registration

    Registration, free-plan display, and dashboard messaging now align around a 15-credit starting balance for new free users.

  2. Landing and onboarding now describe the automatic signup grant

    Free-user messaging now tells people the truth: create an account and the 15 signup credits are available automatically.

  3. The landing banner now points to Discord for 20 extra credits

    The top landing banner keeps the separate Discord reward explicit, so users see that signup grants 15 credits automatically and Discord can unlock another 20.

Pricing & Onboarding

New free users now start at 0 credits, Discord grants 20 bonus credits, and Starter shows a 60-minute intro offer.

This release removes the old free-credit starting balance for new users, shifts the first reward path to a Discord-claimable 20-credit bonus, and replaces the onboarding meeting pitch with a 60-minute Starter monthly offer shown in onboarding and Billing.

0default credits for new free users
20Discord bonus credits available
60mStarter intro window shown

  1. New free accounts now start at zero instead of auto-granting credits

    Registration, free-plan display, and dashboard messaging now align around a zero-credit starting state for new free users instead of promising an automatic balance that did not match the new onboarding path.

  2. Discord is now the explicit path to claim 20 bonus credits

    Free-user messaging now tells people the truth: join Discord, message the team, and claim the 20-credit bonus there instead of assuming credits appear automatically on signup.

  3. Onboarding and Billing now surface the Starter intro code and countdown

    The final onboarding step drops the old meeting CTA and instead shows the Starter monthly intro offer, including the visible promo code, one-click copy interaction, and the 60-minute countdown before the UI returns to standard pricing.

Billing & Credits

Users can now review credit activity in Billing without seeing internal charge details.

This release adds a dedicated credit activity view inside Billing, so users can see where credits were spent, when refunds happened, and what their balance looked like after each change without exposing raw internal charge text.

1credit activity feed added
3activity filters shipped
0raw internal charge strings exposed

  1. Billing now includes a credit activity feed

    Users can now open Billing and review a chronological list of credit usage and refunds instead of guessing where their balance changed.

  2. Credit usage is mapped to clean user-facing labels

    We added a safer display layer for credit history so the product shows standardized activity names instead of leaking raw internal charge descriptions.

  3. Users can filter usage, refunds, and recent time ranges

    The new view supports usage and refund filtering plus time-range switching, making it easier to audit credit consumption without digging through unrelated billing records.

AI Video Update

Seedance 2.0 is live in Reelsy, Multimodal Reference shows up earlier, and expensive model credits were cut down.

This release adds Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.0 Fast to the active AI video lineup, surfaces Multimodal Reference on the landing path so creators can discover it earlier, and lowers default credits across Seedance, Kling 3.0, Wan 2.6, and Hailuo 2.3.

2Seedance tiers now live
4AI video families repriced down
1multimodal path surfaced earlier

  1. Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 2.0 Fast are now part of the AI video lineup

    Reelsy now supports Seedance across Image to Video, First & Last Frame, and Multimodal Reference, so creators can use one model family for single-frame starts, explicit frame control, or richer image, video, and audio guidance.

  2. Multimodal Reference is promoted earlier instead of hiding behind deeper workflow steps

    The landing page now calls out Seedance Multimodal Reference directly, making it easier to discover the higher-control path before users click through several setup layers inside the product.

  3. Credits were lowered for the AI video paths that had become too expensive

    We reduced pricing across Seedance, Kling 3.0, Wan 2.6, and Hailuo 2.3 so the default entry cost is more aligned with fast testing, creator drafts, and lower-friction experimentation.

AI Video Model

Veo 3.1 Lite is now live in Reelsy with a lower-cost default for faster starts.

This release adds Veo 3.1 Lite to the product update timeline and active AI video model lineup. It launches with a default cost of 10 credits and supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation paths.

1new Veo model tier added
10default credits per generation
2supported generation modes

  1. Veo 3.1 Lite is now available in the AI video workflow

    You can now choose Veo 3.1 Lite directly inside Reelsy as a lighter-cost Veo option for faster iteration, without leaving the existing AI video flow.

  2. Default pricing is set to 10 credits

    Veo 3.1 Lite starts at 10 credits by default, giving creators a clearer low-cost option when they want Veo output without paying the higher full-model price for every test run.

  3. Supports both text-to-video and image-to-video

    The first Veo 3.1 Lite release in Reelsy covers the two most common generation modes: text-to-video for prompt-led concepts and image-to-video for reference-led motion generation.

New Workflow

Viral Clone is live: turn a short reference into a reusable clone plan before you generate.

This release adds the new Viral Clone workflow for short-form reference analysis. Paste a TikTok or YouTube Shorts link, run fit analysis first, choose a clone strategy, and move into planning and generation with a persisted session instead of ad hoc prompt guessing.

2supported source platforms at launch
5clone strategies to choose from
1session-first clone workflow shipped

  1. Paste a short reference and start from a real analysis session

    Viral Clone now creates a dedicated session from a TikTok or YouTube Shorts link, then persists source analysis, blueprint, and planning artifacts instead of dropping users into a fake or one-off state.

  2. Choose how closely to follow the original

    After analysis, you can choose from five adaptation strategies including Replicate Form, Replace Subject, Replace Scene, Replace Both, and Light Rewrite, so the workflow makes the similarity tradeoff explicit before generation starts.

  3. Move from fit analysis into storyboard, references, and generation

    The new flow connects reference review, storyboard planning, and AI video handoff in one path, making it easier to turn a strong short-form pattern into a controlled remake instead of improvising each shot manually.

Credits & Access

Free users can now start AI Video and Music flows, with clearer credit rules from the first click.

This release removes the old paid-only gate from Viral Growth AI Video and Music entry points, raises free-user starting balance to 30 credits, and makes low-credit states explicit before generation starts.

2free-access workflows opened
30starting credits for new free users
3credit-aware surfaces tightened

  1. AI Video and Music are no longer blocked behind a paid plan

    Free users can now enter both Viral Growth workflows directly. Access is controlled by credits at run time, instead of a blunt paid-plan lock before they can even start.

  2. New free users now start with 30 credits

    We aligned registration, pricing display, and landing page messaging around a 30-credit free starting balance so the product promise matches the actual account state.

  3. Low-credit moments are clearer across entry, editor, and Music Prep

    When credits are below the minimum needed, the product now tells you exactly what is missing and routes you to billing, instead of showing the old paid-workflow messaging.

AI Video Expansion

More ways to start, more model choice, less friction to your first draft.

This release turns Reelsy into a stronger AI video starting point with a larger prompt library, broader model coverage, and faster paths into common creation flows.

900+real prompt starting points
7supported model families
3major workflow upgrades

  1. Start from proven prompts, not a blank page

    Explore a much larger AI video template library with real examples, faster search, and ready-to-use starting points for the kinds of videos creators actually publish.

  2. Choose the right model for every shot

    Switch across more AI video models inside one workflow, whether you need premium quality, faster drafts, stylized visuals, or image-led motion.

  3. Go from idea to first draft faster

    New quick-start flows help you launch common formats like SaaS demos, UGC ads, ecommerce videos, faceless content, and character concepts with fewer setup steps.

March 26, 2026
Conversion Flow

Clearer plan access and a cleaner route back to the tools that matter.

We tightened upgrade messaging and workspace navigation so users spend less time decoding limits and more time getting back to creation.

1cleaner upgrade path
1refined sidebar system
lesstime spent hunting

  1. Upgrade decisions are clearer

    Plan access and upgrade prompts are now easier to understand, so you can see what you can use now and what unlocks as you scale.

  2. A cleaner workspace, with less hunting

    We refined navigation across the dashboard so it takes less effort to find the tool you need and get back to creating.

March 25, 2026
Landing Refresh

A stronger first look at what Reelsy can do before you ever sign up.

The marketing experience now shows templates, model coverage, and product value more clearly, making the path from curiosity to signup easier to trust.

1public template destination
1richer model showcase
moreclarity before signup

  1. A public template destination for discovery

    Visitors can now explore prompt-driven inspiration earlier in the journey, instead of waiting until after signup to understand the output quality.

  2. A sharper landing page story

    The landing experience now explains supported models, creator workflows, and product value with a stronger conversion-focused structure.
