What the free credits cover
Uploaded files cost about 1 credit per minute, so 120 signup credits cover roughly 120 minutes of recordings. Public video links cost 3 credits per started minute, so the same credits cover about 40 minutes of linked video.
The signup credits are not a monthly allowance. When they are used or expire, you can buy a one-time credit package or subscribe to Pro.
