Synthesia said no to $3 billion so it could keep building talking-head video for the Fortune 100.
HeyGen's revenue growth is real. The part worth double-checking is what happens when the avatar doesn't look right.
Kling is the AI video product with the strongest verified money story and the loudest billing complaints.
Cheap, fast text-to-video with a deep voice library; avatars and AI video clips burn credits quickly.
Fast, automatic long-to-short clipping with fair per-minute pricing; read the billing and cancellation rules first.
Luma is now an agent platform that sells its own Ray3.2 video model next to Kling, Veo and Seedance.
Runway still ships faster than almost anyone in this category. The reason to pause is how it treats the credits you already paid for.
Zebracat turns a prompt, script, URL or audio file into short marketing videos from $23 a month billed yearly ($39 monthly), but its yearly prices rose about 20% after Aug 7, 2026, videos are capped at 2 or 5 minutes, AI credit pools are small, and the pricing page's 7-day refund promise conflicts with Terms that rule out refunds for paid periods.
Credit-metered agentic video editor, now $9, $30 and $80 per seat a month (190, 1,000 and 3,000 credits); agent replies use credits, refunds only within 7 days if unused, Trustpilot 1.8 from 1,025 reviews, App Store US 4.55.
