PixVerse

PixVerse is the AI video generation product of AIsphere, founded in Beijing in April 2023 by Wang Changhu (CEO) and Jaden Xie (Xie Xuzhang). The company launched into a contrarian window when video generation was not yet on most investors' radars; in July 2024 it shipped PixVerse V2 on a DiT (Diffusion Transformer) backbone, becoming one of the first DiT-based text-to-video models in production in China.

Core capabilities center on the proprietary video foundation model line — V2, V3, V3.5, V4, V4.5, V5, V5.5, and the current V6 (March 2026). V5 ranked third globally on Artificial Analysis's text-to-video leaderboard and first on image-to-video. V6 adds an agentic creation flow and multi-shot narrative support. The three most distinctive features are: first, a daily refresh of 60 free credits — the most generous free tier in AI video; second, a viral template and effects library (Venom Transformation and others) that lets zero-skill creators ship viral clips; third, real-time generation released in January 2026 — during generation, you can steer a character's action (cry, jump, pose) and see the output within roughly 10 seconds.

Use cases include TikTok, Reels, and Shorts short-form content, conceptual visual effects, marketing clips, social-media interactive templates, and educational illustrations. The free tier is 720p with watermark; Standard at $8/month (billed annually) is 720p watermark-free; Pro at $24/month unlocks 4K; Ultra at $149/month adds API access; Team Premium at $79 per seat per month shares credits across a team. The API has independent pricing (V5/V6 charge by second). Funding totals exceed $60M (Series B led by Alibaba); public data shows the company has over 100 million users globally and 16 million monthly actives as of October 2025.
