Coverr provides a catalog of thousands of free videos for creators, with files in HD MP4 and some footage also available in 4K. Its API combines curated stock video, stock music, and AI-generated media, and developers can connect through REST API or an MCP server. Coverr says its videos have been downloaded more than 5 million times and viewed 1.1 million times each month. The API free tier includes full access and 50 calls per hour; the production tier allows 2,000 calls per hour and is intended for live applications. Coverr grants a free, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license for commercial and non-commercial use of its videos and music without attribution. The license bars using that media to train AI, create AI models or datasets, or build a competing service. Paid plans add AI credits and options including premium stock content, 4K footage, WAV music, and a production API. Listed monthly prices are 4.20 USD for Basic, 6.60 USD for Plus, 10.80 USD for Pro, and 42.00 USD for Ultimate. Enterprise custom rate limits, SLAs, and dedicated support are available on request.
