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.
