DistilBook vs Steve AI

DistilBook is a web-based tool for making videos from scripts and PDFs. It combines script-to-video and AI scene generation with text-to-speech, subtitles, drawing animation and scene templates. Exports are available at 1080p, and the tool supports 19 voiceover languages, a brand kit and commercial use. It has no AI presenters or character library. The signup offer provides 10 credits once, enough for the first slide; that option allows videos up to 60 seconds and PDF uploads up to 10 pages, adds a watermark and does not include MP4 downloads. Paid plans are billed monthly: Basic costs $15 per month for 170 credits, about 17 slides, motion videos up to four minutes and 10-page PDFs. Pro is $35 per month for 450 credits, about 45 slides, videos up to six minutes and 30-page PDFs. Max costs $75 per month for 1,000 credits, about 100 slides, videos up to 10 minutes and PDFs with no page limit. The pricing note also lists $7 per month billed yearly.

Steve AI turns text, images, prompts, scripts, blogs, and audio into videos. It offers scene-level editing, AI visuals, stock media, and animated explainer styles, for uses such as marketing, education, storytelling, and business training. Videos can be downloaded or shared to YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other channels. The web and iOS platform includes AI presenters, script-to-video, scene generation, brand kits, and subtitle generation. The free plan provides 200 AI credits and 1,200 seconds of AI video creation, though exports have limited downloads. Basic costs $120 a year, billed yearly and shown as $10/month; it includes 100 minutes of AI video per month and 720p output. Starter is $360 a year and includes 1080p, while Pro is $480 a year and includes 2K. Paid plans include commercial rights to videos; resell rights are exclusive to Enterprise.
