How We Score Every Tool

Every platform gets the same treatment — no vendor demos, no press kits. We test it the way a real user would.

01
Real Script, Real Project

We create a 90-second explainer from scratch using the same script on every platform. No stock projects or demo content.

02
Output Quality

We grade the final video on visual clarity, lip sync accuracy, voice naturalness, and overall production feel.

03
Workflow & Speed

How long does it actually take? We clock the time from blank canvas to exported file, including learning curve.

04
Pricing Transparency

We map every plan tier against real usage — minutes of video, number of exports, seat limits, and hidden upgrade walls.
