PRICING

No subscription, no monthly fees.
Tokens for the rest.

Beetle Video Editor is free to download and free to use. There is no subscription, no monthly fee, no tiered plan. A 500-token monthly grant covers most projects. Earn more by sharing your idle GPU and CPU with the network — or buy token packs in-app.

⊙ FREE MONTHLY GRANT
BEETLE TOKENS
500 tokens / month, free

500 tokens refill on the 1st of every month. Enough for a week of heavy editing — long-form exports, transitions, AI assist, and a few 4K renders. Unused grant tokens roll over for 90 days; purchased tokens from a token pack never expire.

Sign in to start — no payment method required.

Tokens are pure virtual in-app currency. They only ever buy engine features inside Beetle Video Editor.

WHAT 500 TOKENS COVERS
  • ✓ The full editor — every tool, every panel, every shortcut
  • ✓ Local export at 1080p on your own GPU (always free, no token cost)
  • ✓ ~250 AI-assist invocations (auto-reframe, smart cutout, color match)
  • ✓ ~20 premium-effect renders (style filters, color LUTs, advanced stabilization)
  • ✓ ~5 stock asset pack downloads
  • ✓ ~30 minutes of cloud export queue time (optional — local is always free)
◐ EARN TOKENS
SHARE YOUR HARDWARE
+10 tokens / hour, average

When your machine is idle, Beetle can run distributed work for other community members — cloud renders, AI inference, color analysis, encoding jobs. In exchange you earn tokens. Your machine's contribution is sandboxed, encrypted end-to-end, and you can pause it instantly from the dashboard.

How sharing works in the docs →
WHAT YOU CAN EARN
  • ↑ Up to 10 tokens / hour for GPU-heavy jobs (color grading, effects)
  • ↑ Up to 4 tokens / hour for CPU jobs (encoding, AI inference)
  • ↑ Bonus multipliers during off-peak hours (your local 2am-6am)
  • ↑ Reputation bonus: members with high acceptance rates earn 1.2× – 1.5×
  • ↑ Capped monthly so sharing can never become your primary income

Sharing is opt-in, paused by default. You control what runs, when, and on which network.
