Animaker vs Explideo

Animaker is web-based software for creating animated and live-action videos, with mobile apps for making animated videos on iOS and Android. Its text-to-video generator turns a prompt into a video that can then be reviewed and edited. Creative tools include whiteboard animation, AI infographics and asset generation, subtitles, translation, and a custom character builder. The feature page describes AI voiceovers with 1000+ voices in 100+ languages and automatic lip sync. Animaker also lists 1000+ templates, real-time collaboration, and a Brand Kit. Completed animations can be downloaded as MP4, GIF, or WebM, at resolutions from SD through 4K. An Ultra Gen API offers RESTful, JSON-based endpoints for adding video generation to web and mobile apps. The free plan allows downloads, but adds a watermark and limits premium assets. Pricing notes list a free plan, a 7-day trial, and paid access from $15/mo (annual); Starter is listed at $45 a month and Pro at $79 a month, both billed monthly.

Explideo is a browser-based whiteboard video maker for creating hand-drawn explainers from narration or a scene-by-scene plan, with MP4 export. Its auto-doodle tool transcribes uploaded audio or video, selects drawn assets and synchronizes them with narration. Users can turn photos into doodles or generate images ready for drawing from prompts. Projects can begin with audio, a template or a blank canvas, and the editor provides pan-and-zoom cameras plus entrance, emphasis and exit animations. Videos can be cloud-rendered or exported in the browser; browser exports are unlimited on every plan. The built-in library includes hand-drawn images, icons and music, and finished videos can be published to YouTube, social channels or an LMS. Explideo works in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on Mac, Windows or Chromebook. The Free plan is free, billed forever, with one server export per month with a watermark. Starter costs $19 a month, billed month-to-month.
