In their own words
Emaze
Emaze is a browser-based creation platform for presentations, websites, photo albums, eCards, blogs, training quizzes, digital business cards, surveys, and forms. Its AI-assisted tools are described for creating presentations, websites, photo albums, and eCards without design skills. Presentations offer 2D and 3D templates, embedded media, and charts, and can be shared or published as websites. Users can comment on projects, share brand assets, and set viewing, editing, and commenting permissions. Groups and custom dashboards organize collections for classes, teams, or clients using roles and permissions. Analytics cover opens, unique viewers, view time, and engagement, with custom tracking links and lead scoring. Emaze imports PowerPoint files but does not export to PowerPoint. Paid plans include downloads to PDF, MP4, and HTML, offline use, and Zoom video conferencing. A free plan and education plans are available. The platform runs on the web; its maker identifies it as SOC 2 Type II audited and GDPR compliant.
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.
