JSON2Video gives new accounts a one-time signup credit rather than an ongoing free tier. The free plan includes Get 600 credits on the free account. No credit card is required to sign up.
About
JSON2Video is a video editing API that creates and renders videos from a JSON specification sent to a REST endpoint. It supports templates, variables, scene composition, AI voice-overs, subtitles, transitions, and AI-generated visuals, with MP4 output up to Full HD and 4K.
The service is aimed at developers and automation workflows that need programmatic video production at scale. The pricing page lists a free account with 600 credits and no credit card required, plus paid pre-paid and subscription plans for higher-volume use.

Free Tier Value
This free tier gives a meaningful starter allowance of 600 credits with no credit card required, but it is a capped one-time credit grant rather than a recurring monthly allowance. Because the page describes credits as the consumption unit and does not state a dollar-denominated credit amount, there isn’t a defensible monthly dollar value to assign here; the practical value is still limited by the watermark on free-plan videos and the fact that paid plans start at $16.95/month.
