Best for: Training, onboarding, and explainer videos where a presenter reads your script — not for cinematic or creative generation.
Free tier: Free Basic plan: 1,200 credits/month, up to 10 minutes of video/month, 25 AI-generated video assets, 9 avatars, downloads allowed, no credit card required
Paid plans: Starter $18/mo billed yearly ($29 monthly); Creator $64/mo billed yearly ($89 monthly); Enterprise custom
Best for: Creative and cinematic generation plus editing tools; the free tier is a taste, not a workflow — credits are one-time, unlike Synthesia's monthly allowance.
Free tier: 125 one-time credits (not monthly), a selection of generative models to test, 3 video editor projects, 5GB storage
Paid plans: Standard $12/mo, Pro $28/mo, Max $76/mo (annual billing with 20% discount); Enterprise custom
Best for: Teams already living in Canva who need occasional AI clips inside slides and social posts, rather than a dedicated video pipeline.
Best for: Short-form social editing (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) with AI assists — captions, cuts, effects — rather than full text-to-video generation.
The outbound links may carry affiliate parameters when configured (none are configured at launch), and that is disclosed on the disclosure page. It changes nothing above: facts come from vendor pages with dates, unverified entries say so, and free options are recommended wherever they are the honest answer.
Because we have not verified their current AI-video pricing against their own pages yet. They are listed because search demand for them in this context is enormous, and an honest "not verified, here is the vendor link" beats a stale copied price table.
As they are verified — the roadmap is the text-to-video generators (Pika, Luma, OpenAI's Sora, Google's Veo) plus the avatar-tool alternatives. Each entry takes a primary-source pass, which is why the list grows slower than an aggregator's but ages better.
