What users say
Pros
- Custom avatars capture realistic likeness and natural movement for video lessons and product demos.
- Video translation with lip-sync is a standout for ads, courses and social clips.
- Finished videos can look polished, with convincing lip-sync.
Cons
- Fixes and redos burn credits, often without a clear warning.
- Plans and credit rates change mid-subscription, and "unlimited" turned out to be credits.
- Cloned voices and lip-sync can miss, sounding or looking nothing like the real person.
- Customer service is slow when the app breaks or a cancellation is needed.
