Coverr
What it is
Coverr offers creators a catalog of thousands of free videos, with files in HD MP4 and some footage also available in 4K. It also provides an API combining curated stock video, stock music, and AI-generated media. Developers can connect through a REST API or MCP server; the API free tier allows 50 calls per hour with full API access, while the production tier allows 2,000 calls per hour for live applications. Coverr says its media has been downloaded more than 5 million times and viewed 1.1 million times each month. The company grants an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license for commercial and non-commercial use of its videos and music without attribution. The license prohibits using that media to train AI algorithms, build AI models or datasets, or create a competing service. API users should note that the legacy free-videos API documentation asks for a clickable Coverr logo. Paid plans include AI credits and options such as premium stock content, 4K footage, WAV music, and a production API. Listed prices are free, $4.20 a month for Basic, $6.60 a month for Plus, $10.80 a month for Pro, and $42 a month for Ultimate.
