Lumen5 vs Pippit

Lumen5 is a web-based text-to-video service from Lumen5, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It turns written text into video and includes AI avatars. Videos can be up to 10 long and reach 1080p resolution, with commercial use supported. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 2 AI voiceover minutes. Pro includes 60 video translations per year, with no price listed. Team pricing is also not listed and includes custom branded templates, collaboration and approval workflows, SSO, and enterprise support. Lumen5 runs on the web rather than a listed desktop or mobile platform. Its plans therefore cover text-based video creation, voiceover allowances, translation, and organization-focused controls, while the free option provides a defined starting allowance.
