Unlike most of our site, nothing on this page is processor-verified. These are company statements and press reports, each linked with its date. We did not estimate any revenue number; the per-month and per-user figures below are our own division of company figures and are labelled as such. For businesses whose payment data we can check, see the verified AI revenue leaderboard.
What is Higgsfield's revenue in 2026?
Over $1B in annualized revenue as of September 2026, the company announced on Oct 23, 2026, alongside new investment from TCV and NVIDIA. Annualized revenue is a run rate: recent revenue multiplied out to a full year, not money already collected over twelve months. $1B a year is about $83M a month (our division). Higgsfield did not say how much the new investors put in.
How fast did Higgsfield grow?
| When | Reported figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Apr 2025 | Higgsfield launches its AI video platform | Higgsfield press release, Jan 15, 2026 |
| Weeks after launch | "Around $10 million in ARR from zero in a matter of weeks" (an investor, quoted by Reuters) | Reuters, Jan 15, 2026 |
| Jan 2026 | $200M annual run rate in under nine months, doubling from $100M in about two months; 15M+ users; valued at $1.3B+ | Higgsfield press release, Jan 15, 2026 |
| Aug 2026 | $700M in annualized revenue; 30M+ users; $400M Series B at a $5.4B valuation | Higgsfield announcement (via Intel Capital), Aug 17, 2026 |
| Sep 2026 | Crossed $1B in annualized revenue, 18 months after launch; 40M+ users | Higgsfield press release, Oct 23, 2026 |
Our math on the company's own figures: $200M (Jan 2026) to $1B (Sep 2026) is 5x in about eight months, and $700M (Aug) to $1B (Sep) is about $300M added in roughly a month. Valuation went from $1.3B (Jan) to $5.4B (Aug, Reuters). One caution: in January, Reuters corrected its story after Higgsfield said its $200M run-rate figure "is a projection" and "not recognized revenue". Treat every number here as the company's own.
What does Higgsfield sell?
AI video and image creation. Its site lists tools for ads ("Ads Studio"), AI influencers, a "Cinema Studio" and agent-style tools that produce multi-scene videos. Per the Oct 23 release, brands and agencies use it to turn a single campaign concept into up to 100 ad variants for different markets, the platform has 40M+ users in 238 countries and territories, and enterprise is its fastest-growing business, "growing more than 100% month over month" (company claim). It also makes its own AI films; Variety (Oct 23, 2026) covers that side.
How much does Higgsfield cost?
From its pricing page, read Oct 24, 2026 (prices change often and promotions run constantly):
| Plan | Price | Credits a month |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $19/mo (billed annually) | 270 |
| Plus | $59/mo, or $47/mo billed annually | 1,200 |
| Ultra | $129/mo, or $99/mo billed annually | 3,000+ |
| Teams | From $65 per seat/mo | From 1,000 per seat |
A rough guide only: $1B a year across 40M+ users is about $25 per user a year (our division of two "more than" figures). Most users don't pay, so paying customers spend far more than that, but Higgsfield hasn't said how many pay.
What does Higgsfield's growth mean if you want to make money with AI?
In our read, it shows where the money in AI video is: businesses paying to make ads and content faster, not people watching AI videos. Higgsfield's own pitch is about ad variants for brands and agencies. That's the same job small AI businesses are paid for. A few in our data sell AI-made video and content with verified revenue (we don't know which tools they use):
| Business | Verified revenue |
|---|---|
| White Glove Content Subscription faceless-video studio: scripts, AI voiceover, editing, thumbnails. | $65,911 MRR TrustMRR, Oct 23 2026 |
| Vid.AI Turns an idea or script into ready-to-post AI videos for creators. | $46,347 MRR TrustMRR, Oct 22 2026 |
