Interactive animation that ships into an app
Rive is the one to reach for when the animation has to respond to something rather than play. A state machine is built alongside the artwork, and runtimes drop the result into a real product. For a creator that mostly means website and app work rather than video, and the learning curve is closer to a design tool than to a filter.
Our note
Rive and Jitter get compared and should not be. Jitter makes a video; Rive makes a thing that reacts. If nobody is going to click it, Rive is the harder tool for no gain.

Animated explainers without an animator
Vyond builds character animation from a script, with lip sync and gestures handled for you, which is why it ended up as the default for training video. A creator selling a course gets a house style without hiring anybody. It is priced for companies, and the cheapest seat costs more per year than most video tools cost in three.
