In their own words
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.
Powtoon
Powtoon is a browser-based platform for creating animated videos and visual presentations in Powtoon Studio. Its editor brings together scene trimming and merging, captions, transitions, animations, brand assets, stock footage, voiceovers and soundtracks. AI tools can turn documents or text into video and support scriptwriting, speech, avatars, captions, translations and image creation. The platform also lists a stock media library of more than four million items and a character builder for changing appearance and gestures. Powtoon Capture records a screen, webcam or both; recordings can run up to 70 minutes and are deleted automatically after three months. It supports web and Chrome extension access, works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari, and has a free iOS and Android companion app for uploading media, recording voiceovers, and playing or sharing Powtoons. Plans include a free option and paid plans from $15/mo billed annually. Free videos are limited to three minutes at 720p and carry a Powtoon watermark.
