How it works

Small teams use it for social media repurposing, YouTube Shorts, and faceless video channels. Built-in stock media from Storyblocks and Getty keeps costs down, and automatic captions make videos watchable on mute.

There is no permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial. Starter at $19 a month billed annually is the entry point, with 30 videos a month and 600 transcription minutes. A Professional plan exists above it, but sources disagree on its price, $35 or $49 a month billed annually, so check the official site before buying.
