How much does a whiteboard explainer video cost?
Budget for a whiteboard video by separating software, generation, voiceover, export, and revision work. See how Voodle Studio credits and plan limits affect the total.
By Voodle Studio team · Updated
A useful whiteboard-video budget starts with the deliverable: what the video must explain, how long it should be, where it will be published, and how often it will change. Software fees are one part of that budget. Writing, review, and revisions take time too.
Separate the production steps
| Work | Questions for your budget |
|---|---|
| Script | Who writes and verifies the explanation? |
| Artwork | Can you use existing assets, or do you need new illustrations? |
| Narration | Who checks pronunciation and records or generates the voice? |
| Timing | How many preview and revision rounds will you need? |
| Export | Which resolution and length must the final video support? |
| Updates | Will you retain an editable project or pay for later changes? |

How Voodle Studio costs work
Voodle Studio uses a shared credit balance for AI generation, narration, and exports. Review the quote before starting. Manual editing and downloading an existing export are free. A replacement image, new narration, or another render uses credits again.
The Free plan includes 200 credits once. Paid plans supply monthly allowances; one-time packs add purchased credits. Your active plan also sets resolution, duration, watermark, storage, and project limits. A pack does not raise those limits.
See current pricing and billing terms and detailed credit charges. Prices default to USD, with an INR toggle. INR prices include GST. Monthly allowances reset without rollover; purchased credits are preserved.
Estimate with a representative video
Make one short video with the script length, artwork, and voice settings you expect to use. Record the quote and the credits spent on revisions. Use that example to budget for similar videos, allowing for longer scripts or more complex scenes.
The MP4 is the finished export. Keep the saved Voodle Studio project for future changes, and include another export in the revision budget.
For a first trial, use a lesson recap or a product explanation you already understand well. That makes the quality review easier.

Use the same brief and ask which deliverables, revisions, voiceover, usage rights, and future updates are included. Include your own review and editing time in the software workflow.
