Text to video in eighty languages, on credits
Fliki turns a script, a blog post or a set of bullet points into a narrated video, and its strength is the voice library rather than the visuals: dozens of languages, cloned voices, and dubbing of a video you already made. Credits cover generation and are pooled per user per year. The free tier is three credits a month, which is a demonstration rather than a workflow.
Our note
Pick this over Pictory or invideo when the languages matter, because the voice library is where the money went. If everything you publish is in English, the others give more attention to the visuals for similar money.

Generative video with an editor around it
Runway is where the frontier video models arrive with a timeline attached, so a generated shot can be trimmed, upscaled and cut against footage you filmed. Credits are the unit of everything, and they go faster than the plan names suggest. Read the credit cost per second before picking a tier, because the gap between plans is nothing like the gap between prices.
Our note
Work out how many seconds of your chosen model each plan buys before subscribing, because the answer is usually smaller than the credit numbers suggest. Runway is the right pick when the shot cannot be filmed. For talking-head video from a script, Synthesia and HeyGen cost less and do it better.
