Making a short video of a workout normally means an editor, a subscription, or both. ActivArt does it from the activity itself, and the free plan covers it: no credit card, no payment details, one Google or Apple sign-in before your first creation. This page is about what free actually gets you, where the limits sit and what happens when you reach them. If you want to know how the video paths work rather than what they cost, the AI video generator page covers that side.
Free to start, unlock Premium for larger AI image and video allowances, unlimited on-device videos, and more.
Google or Apple, one tap, no form and no card. Your free video allowance is attached to that account, which is also what lets it follow you to a new phone.
An AI clip built from a blank canvas, an AI clip that uses one of your photos as a visual reference, or a route or elevation video drawn from the GPS track on your device.
AI video keeps running as a recoverable job when you navigate away or close the app. ActivArt notifies you when the clip is ready to preview, save and share.
AI video is included in the free plan with an allowance that refills on a rolling window. Nothing expires into a paywall after the first clip.
The free plan never asks for a card. Premium and the Custom Logos unlock are bought through the App Store or Google Play, and only if you choose to.
Server-side AI video and on-device route or elevation video are counted separately, so a week of route videos leaves your AI video allowance untouched.
Your saved choices for framing, appearance, gear, scene, weather, light, mood, style and palette drive the clip. The free plan has the same set as Premium.
When stats are on, the clip carries your selected figures, labels, placement and treatment, with instructions that keep every character readable for the whole take.
A clip made without a photo comes out vertical and ready for Reels, Stories and TikTok. A clip made from a photo follows that photo's orientation.
GPS route and elevation videos are rendered by your own phone rather than on a server, which is why they have their own free allowance and why they work without a connection once the activity has synced. Premium makes them unlimited and adds the 3D map video.
The first is an AI clip made from nothing but your activity and your saved visual choices. No starting photo, no prompt. This is the one for indoor sessions, early mornings and every workout where taking a picture was the last thing on your mind.
The second starts from one photo, either an original or something you already generated. ActivArt uses it as a visual reference while applying your style, effects and stats, and keeps the source orientation. The photo does not have to appear as the first frame, which is what separates it from a simple animate-this-picture effect.
The third is not AI at all. Route and elevation videos draw the measured GPS track and the climb over time, rendered by your phone. They are the right choice when the shape of the route or the profile of the climb is the story, and they are the cheapest of the three to make in every sense.
As with images, the numbers live in the app rather than on this page. Limits are set on the server and change without an app release, so the Membership screen is the only place that can tell you the truth about your own account. What is stable is the shape of the difference, which is set out below.
| Free | Premium | |
|---|---|---|
| AI video from a blank canvas | Limited allowance that refills automatically | Larger allowance |
| AI video from one of your photos | Limited allowance that refills automatically | Larger allowance |
| GPS route video | Limited, rendered on your device | Unlimited |
| Elevation video | Limited, rendered on your device | Unlimited |
| 3D map video and 3D elevation view | Not included | Included |
| Stats inside the clip | Limited | Unlimited |
| Styles, scenes and stats placements | All of them | All of them |
| ActivArt mark on the result | Always on | Optional |
| Payment details | Never requested | Handled by the App Store or Google Play |
Free clips carry the ActivArt mark and arrive with a share caption written for you, and Premium turns both off. Length, resolution and quality are the same on either plan.
AI video is generated on our servers, so it needs a connection and it takes longer than an image. The job survives you leaving the screen and you get a notification when it lands, so the wait does not have to be spent staring at a progress bar.
The allowance refills gradually rather than resetting monthly. When you run out, the app says when the next clip unlocks and can notify you at that moment. Route and elevation videos keep working from their own allowance in the meantime.
One thing worth setting straight: the free plan and a Premium free trial are different things. The free plan asks for no card at all. A store-billed trial, if you ever start one, needs a payment method like any App Store or Google Play subscription.
Video costs more to generate than an image, which is exactly why the allowance has to belong to an account rather than to an install. The sign-in is what makes a genuinely usable free video allowance possible instead of a single trial clip.
It is one tap with Google or Apple, with no password to create, no email loop and no payment method attached. Your saved look, your history and whatever allowance you have left move with the account when you change phone.
Nothing is gated before that point. Install the app, connect a source, look at your activities. ActivArt asks only when you go to make your first clip.
The reason this works without a prompt box is that the app already knows what you did. It has the activity type, the duration, the distance, the climb and the GPS track, plus the visual choices you set once. That is a far better brief than most people would type, and it is why the output looks like your session rather than like stock footage.
The flip side is the same as on the image side: this is not a general video generator. There is no field for describing an arbitrary scene, and there will not be one. What you get is short, vertical, specific to the workout you just finished, and free to make.
