In their own words
Animaker
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.
