In their own words
Animation Desk
Animation Desk is software for creating animations, cartoons, and animatics on Android, iOS, and Windows. Its tools include paint brushes, layers, onion skinning, sound effects, and frame-rate settings. Work can begin with video clips, photos, or pre-built animation templates, with stock collections, batch frame pasting, and effects for video and images available for editing; some features depend on app version. The product is aimed at beginners, students, learners, and professional animators making rough animation, animatic sketches, or storyboards. Finished work can be exported as video, GIF, PDF, PSD, or image sequences, and editable projects can be exchanged among the Android, iOS, and Windows apps. The iOS listing also describes export to Photoshop for further editing. Animation Desk is free to download, and a free plan is listed. Animation Desk Pro for iOS is $2.49 a month, billed annually at $29.99. Creativity 365 for Individuals is $4.99 a month, billed annually at $59.99. KDAN says the product will remain available under existing paid plans but will not receive proactive new feature development or routine version maintenance updates.
Doratoon
Doratoon is an online platform for making animated videos and presentations with AI. Its cloud-based workbench runs online without a software download or installation. The platform can create an animation from a sentence, and it can import PowerPoint slides to turn them into videos with transitions, scenes, and text effects. AI dubbing provides voice-over, while AI subtitling turns speech into captions. A timeline editor controls object effects, entrance and exit animations, and duration. The workbench offers templates and royalty-free stock animations, footage, and effects. Users can download in different formats and publish to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. An API toolkit brings together seven AI capabilities for enterprise and creator use. Doratoon presents solutions for marketing, education, HR, enterprise, freelancers, and agencies, with Android, iOS, web, and API access. The free Basic plan costs nothing and includes 720p exports, 10 downloads per month, and a Doratoon watermark. Pro costs £60 a year; Pro+ costs £120 a year. Removing the watermark requires a paid plan.
