An InVideo AI alternative for short talking characters — pay once, no monthly plan

InVideo AI (invideo.io) is a full AI video creation studio with a multitrack timeline editor, 200+ models, AI twins in 50+ languages, and per-seat monthly or annual plans. AvatarSay is narrower: it turns a one-sentence text prompt into a fictional character and renders a short talking MP4, with a free preview clip and one-time credit packs that never expire.

Note (2026-11-15): Queries like “invideo ai”, “invideo ai free” and “invideo ai gratuit” surface the official studio at invideo.io alongside unrelated third-party sites such as invideoai.org (marked UNOFFICIAL) and APK pages like invideo-ai.en.uptodown.com. See 3-domain audit ↓

InVideo AI vs AvatarSay: the short answer

Choose InVideo AI (invideo.io) if you want a full multitrack timeline editor, stock footage, multiplayer seats and 200+ AI video/image models — paid plans start at $20/seat/month billed monthly ($10/seat/month billed annually) for 400 credits/month, and unused monthly credits do not roll over. Choose AvatarSay if you only need a few short (5–30 s, 960×960, English-only) fictional talking-character clips without a recurring subscription. New AvatarSay accounts get 30 free avatar credits plus one watermark-free 5 s clip (up to 75 characters), and a $9.90 one-time Starter pack (500 credits ≈ 41 s of talking video) never expires with a 14-day refund on unused packs.

Row-by-row detail is in the table below; the price of both is further down, checked against InVideo AI’s own pricing page on 15 November 2026.

Starter

$9.90 one time

500 credits

≈ 41 s of talking video

Creator

$24.90 one time

1,500 credits

≈ 125 s of talking video

Studio

$59.00 one time

4,000 credits

≈ 333 s of talking video

New accounts get 30 free credits and one free talking clip up to 5 s while the launch offer lasts. One-time purchase. Credits never expire.

If you produce full multi-scene videos or UGC ads every week, InVideo Starter ($10/seat/month annual or $20/seat/month monthly) or Plus ($30/seat/month annual) includes a timeline editor, stock clips and multiple models at lower volume cost than AvatarSay’s Studio rate (about $10.62/minute: $59.00 for 4,000 credits, or 333 s). If you only need a few short (5–30 s) cartoon, anime or RPG NPC talking portraits, paying $20 for one monthly cycle on InVideo risks losing unused credits at month-end. On AvatarSay, new accounts get 30 free credits plus one watermark-free 5 s clip (75 chars max), and a one-time $9.90 Starter pack (500 credits ≈ 41 s of talking video) never expires and is refundable within 14 days if unused.

Questions

Before you choose

Something not covered? Email support@avatarsay.com. A person replies, usually within one business day.

Is InVideo AI free (“invideo ai gratuit”), and is invideoai.org official?

InVideo AI (invideo.io) offers a limited Free Plan at sign-up, with paid plans starting at $20/seat/month monthly ($10/seat/month billed annually). If you searched “invideo ai free” or “invideo ai gratuit”, be careful with look-alike sites: invideoai.org explicitly labels itself “UNOFFICIAL” and independent of invideo.io, and invideo-ai.en.uptodown.com is an Android APK listing rather than the official web studio. On AvatarSay, new accounts get 30 free avatar credits and one free watermark-free 5-second talking clip (up to 75 characters) while the launch offer lasts, or you can roll character prompts without logging in on our Fantasy NPC generator.

Do InVideo AI credits expire, and what is InVideo’s refund policy?

Yes — InVideo’s pricing FAQ states that unused monthly plan credits do not roll over to the next month. Under InVideo Terms of Service (§4d, effective 6 November 2026), subscription fees are non-refundable except within 24 hours of an initial purchase or renewal if zero credits or premium features were used. AvatarSay sells one-time credit packs only: credits never expire, failed renders refund credits automatically, and unused packs are refundable within 14 days under our Refund Policy.

How does InVideo AI pricing compare with AvatarSay if I only need a few talking clips?

For weekly multi-scene video creators, InVideo Starter ($10/seat/month billed annually or $20/seat/month monthly for 400 credits) is much broader and includes a full timeline editor. For occasional needs — like 3–5 talking character clips for a game prototype, YouTube Short or tabletop RPG — buying one month on InVideo costs at least $20 upfront and leftover credits reset at month-end. On AvatarSay, Starter is $9.90 one time for 500 credits (≈ 41 s of talking video at 12 credits/second), and credits stay in your account until you use them.

Is AvatarSay a full InVideo AI replacement?

No. Choose InVideo AI if you want multi-scene editing, stock footage, 200+ video/image models, AI twins, voice cloning or 50+ languages. AvatarSay is intentionally narrow: it generates original fictional portraits from text and animates 5–30 s square (960×960) English talking clips with 8 preset voices, both on the web and through our Remote MCP server.

Can I create an AI twin, upload a photo, or use non-English voices on AvatarSay?

No. AvatarSay does not accept photo uploads, video uploads, face swaps or voice cloning, and it supports English only with 8 built-in voices. Every character is generated inside AvatarSay from your text description. If you need your own face, uploaded photos or 50+ languages, use InVideo AI instead.

How much does a 10-second talking cartoon or NPC clip cost on AvatarSay?

Talking video costs 12 credits per second, so a 10-second clip is 120 credits — under a quarter of the $9.90 Starter pack (500 credits, about $2.38 for a 10-second clip, with credits left for generating new avatars). Standard avatar generation (2 images) costs 4 credits (HD 6 credits).

Start free

Need a talking character clip without a monthly plan?

Start with 30 free avatar credits and one watermark-free 5-second talking clip (up to 75 characters) while the launch offer lasts. Buy a $9.90 one-time pack only if you want more — credits never expire.
