Krikey AI vs Melted Crayons TV

Krikey AI creates 3D character animations from text prompts or video uploads, with a browser-based editor for further changes. Users can make talking avatars, customize characters, design poses, and use face animation tools. The editor lets them adjust lip-synced dialogue, backgrounds, expressions, hand gestures, and camera angles. Exports include MP4, GIF, PNG, and FBX files, and teams can edit projects simultaneously in the web editor. Listed integrations and export workflows include Canva, Adobe Express, Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Roblox, Blender, Maya, ZBrush, and Omniverse. Krikey says its ElevenLabs integration supports speaking and singing characters in over 20 languages with lip synchronization. The free plan costs nothing and includes 20 one-time credits. Pro costs $15 a month with 165 monthly credits; Teams costs $10 a month with 200 monthly credits per person and a three-person minimum. The animation tool currently covers bipedal characters only. Krikey identifies educators, students, storytellers, businesses, social media teams, marketing agencies, small businesses, and indie game developers among its users.

Melted Crayons TV is a browser-based AI storytelling studio for creating comics, graphic novels, storyboards, animated videos, and published story pages. Character references help keep figures visually consistent across panels, clips, and pages, and the studio offers more than 30 art styles, including comic book, anime, watercolor, LEGO, and cyberpunk. Creators can set motion direction for each shot and add character voices or narration. Outputs include interactive comic pages, MP4 video, narrated read-alongs, PDF and print, and social cuts. Published stories can include trackable short links and QR codes with click analytics. The free Sketch tier provides 30 monthly credits for image-only work; it exports watermarked 1080p static comic video and does not include panel animation. Paid plans start at $9.99/mo, with listed tiers varying in credits, voices, resolution, animation, and commercial-use terms. Character photo background extraction runs in the browser, and the maker says the photo does not leave the device for that step.
