Animated explainers from templates
Powtoon builds the whiteboard and cartoon explainer style that training departments have used for a decade, and it has since bolted on avatars, dubbing and text to speech from other vendors. Templates carry most of the work. The house style is recognisable enough that a viewer who has seen one Powtoon will know they are watching another.

Text and graphics laid over video
Typito is for putting text and graphics on top of video: lower thirds, captions, titles that match a brand rather than a preset. It is a browser tool aimed at marketers instead of editors, so the templates carry most of the design decisions. Export duration is what the plans meter, and the free one gives you thirty minutes a month.
Our note
The export minute allowance matters more than the price on this one, and the free tier's thirty minutes goes quickly. Kapwing costs about the same and does more, so pick Typito when the typography is the job.
