Veedio

Every competitor row read 19 October 2026

The best AI short video generators,side by side

Six tools that make TikToks, Reels and Shorts: what each one makes, what it costs to start, what the free option is and what you are metered on — every competitor cell from that company’s own pricing page. We make Veedio, so it is in here; there are no ratings and no overall winner, because they do not do the same job.

A long recording, a timeline you want to control, a studio of models, or just an idea. Each of these is the right answer for someone.

  • Veedio (ours)

    Faceless and small-business creators who want a short made and posted from one place, month to month, without editing.

  • Revid

    Creators who want the widest catalogue — 100+ tools, avatars, face swaps, music videos — with publishing and automation on one plan.

  • CapCut

    People who want to edit by hand on a timeline and use AI generation as one ingredient, not the whole job.

  • Mini$7/month

    ≈ 15 videos a month with stills, ≈ 2 with AI motion

  • Starter$19/month

    ≈ 46 videos a month with stills, ≈ 8 with AI motion

  • Pro$49/month

    ≈ 153 videos a month with stills, ≈ 29 with AI motion

  • Studio$149/month

    ≈ 576 videos a month with stills, ≈ 110 with AI motion

Questions

About choosing an AI short video generator

What is the best AI short video generator?

It depends on what you start with. If you start from a long recording, a clipper like OpusClip is built for that. If you want to edit by hand with AI as one ingredient, CapCut. If you want a broad studio with many models, InVideo or Revid. If you want an idea turned into a finished, posted short without editing, that is what Veedio is built for. We make Veedio, so read our row with that in mind — every other row is from that company’s own pricing page.

Which one is cheapest?

By headline price, Veedio’s Mini at $7 a month, billed monthly, is the lowest in this table; InVideo’s Starter is $10 a seat billed annually ($20 month to month) and OpusClip’s Starter is $15. But they meter different things — credits, minutes of video processed, minutes of video made — so convert each to “videos like mine a month” before deciding.

Which have a free option?

OpusClip has a free-forever plan (60 credits a month, with a watermark). CapCut has a free plan with templates and basic editing. Pictory has a 14-day trial. Revid gives new accounts free credits without a card. InVideo’s FAQ refers to a Free plan without listing its limits on the pricing page.

Can these post straight to TikTok, Reels and Shorts?

Revid and OpusClip list publishing to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube on their pricing pages, and Veedio publishes from each video’s own page. Pictory’s page says “publish everywhere” but describes it as resizing for each platform, and the CapCut and InVideo pricing pages do not mention publishing, so check with them if it matters to you.

Why are some cells “Not stated on their pricing page”?

Because we only print what the company’s own pricing page says. Where it does not say — a watermark, a length cap — we leave it blank rather than guess. The product may well answer it elsewhere; check before you buy.

Where do these numbers come from, and when?

Each company’s public pricing page, read on 19 October 2026 and linked at the bottom of this page. Veedio’s row is read from our own plan definitions. We have not audited anyone else’s numbers, and plans and offers change — InVideo’s 50% and CapCut’s “for reference only” prices especially.
