KinoPipe Credit Margin Model

KinoPipe's per-credit pricing turns video editing into a predictable variable cost, but only if agencies map credit burn to client deliverables. The free tier offers 100 credits (about 10 edits), while Starter at $12/month provides 1,500 credits (about 150 edits), and Pro at $99/month includes 25,000 credits (about 2,500 edits). For a content agency running a monthly retainer that produces 200 short-form clips, the Pro plan covers the volume at roughly $0.04 per edit, leaving room to price the service at $1.50 per clip and still net over 90% margin on processing. The model breaks when agencies ignore credit consumption per operation: a single pass with captions and scene split consumes more credits than a simple trim. Track credits per client job, set a threshold (e.g., 80% of plan capacity) before upgrading, and pass through overage costs as a line item. This framework turns KinoPipe's credit system into a pricing lever, not a surprise expense.
