invideo AI
A prompt in, a narrated video out
invideo AI takes an idea in a sentence and returns a video with stock clips, a script, a voiceover and captions, then lets you fix it by typing corrections rather than by dragging on a timeline. That is a different way to work and it suits people who write faster than they edit. Everything is metered in credits, and unused ones do not carry to the next month.
Our note
Credits expiring monthly is the detail that decides whether the entry plan works for you: it suits steady weekly output and punishes anybody who batches a month of videos in one weekend. There is no free plan, so budget for at least one month to evaluate it.

Pika
Short AI video clips from text or an image
Pika generates short video from a text prompt or a still image, with a set of effects that inflate, crush or otherwise deform whatever you feed it. Output is measured in seconds, so the honest use is a social post or a title card rather than a scene. A free tier exists and credits are what runs out.
