Short answer: Vidrush is a strong long-form tool with a premium price. If you want Shorts only, Faceless.so or AutoShorts are cheaper. If you want long-form plus Shorts from one brief with automatic posting to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, PostFaceless is built for exactly that and starts at $19. Revid and Crayo are editors with AI features rather than channel automation.
This comparison is written by the founder of one of the tools on the list, so read it with that in mind. I have tried to be specific about what each tool does well, and the criteria are the ones I hear from creators, not the ones that flatter my product.
The criteria
- Formats. Shorts (9:16, under 60 seconds), long-form (16:9, 5 to 60 minutes), or both.
- Posting. Does it publish on a schedule, and to which platforms.
- Voice. Library voices, cloning, or bring your own audio.
- Visuals. Stock footage, AI images, AI video, or a mix.
- Control. Can you edit the script and swap scenes before it posts.
- Price. Entry tier, and what a working monthly workflow actually costs.
The comparison table
| Shorts | Long-form | Auto-post | Voice clone | Approve before post | Entry price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vidrush | Yes | Yes, up to 30 min | YouTube | Higher tiers | Yes | Mid, no free plan |
| Faceless.so | Yes | No | YouTube, TikTok, Instagram | No | Limited | $29 |
| Revid | Yes | Limited | Manual export | Higher tiers | Yes | $39 |
| AutoShorts | Yes | No | YouTube, TikTok | No | Limited | Low |
| Crayo | Yes | No | Manual export | No | Yes | Low |
| PostFaceless | Yes | Yes, up to 60 min | YouTube, TikTok, Instagram | All plans | Yes | Free, then $19 |
Prices change often. Treat this as the shape of each product, and check the current pricing page before deciding.
Vidrush
Vidrush's strength is long-form. It builds a script, generates scenes and produces a documentary style video with narration, and the output quality at the top tiers is good. It supports Shorts as well, but the product is clearly designed around YouTube long-form.
Where it falls short for many creators: no free plan to test the output, pricing climbs quickly if you want several videos a week, and posting is YouTube only. If you run TikTok and Instagram alongside, you are downloading and uploading by hand.
Best for: a single YouTube channel focused on 10 to 30 minute videos, with a budget for a premium tool.
Faceless.so
Faceless.so is a Shorts machine. You pick a niche and a style, and it generates and posts short vertical videos daily to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Setup is fast, the interface is simple, and $29 a month for daily posting is fair.
The limits are structural. There is no long-form, the voices are library only, and the visual style leans on AI images that look like AI images. Channels built on it tend to look alike, which matters more now that YouTube is stricter about repetitive content.
Best for: someone testing whether a niche gets views on Shorts before investing further.
Revid
Revid is closer to an AI video editor than a channel automation tool. It has strong text to video features, decent templates, and it will turn a script or a URL into a short clip. Long-form is possible but awkward, and there is no scheduling. You export and post yourself.
The $39 entry price buys editing power rather than automation. If you enjoy editing and want AI to speed it up, it is a good fit. If you want to set a schedule and walk away, it is not.
Best for: creators who edit their own Shorts and want AI assistance.
AutoShorts
AutoShorts does one thing: schedule AI generated Shorts to YouTube and TikTok. It is cheap and reliable at that. The trade-off is minimal control. You choose a topic and a voice, and it publishes. Scripts are short and formulaic, and you have little say over visuals.
Best for: a low budget test of a Shorts niche.
Crayo
Crayo is aimed at the "story over gameplay" style of Shorts, with quick templates for Reddit stories, fake texts and split screen formats. Fast to use, cheap, and fun. It is also the format most exposed to YouTube's inauthentic content enforcement, so build a persona and an angle rather than relying on the template alone.
Best for: story format Shorts with manual posting.
PostFaceless
PostFaceless is what I built after using the tools above. One brief becomes a long-form video for YouTube and three Shorts for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. A narrator voice is trained per channel so your videos do not sound like everyone else's. Visuals are a mix of stock footage, AI images with motion and AI video clips, chosen per scene. You approve the cut, swap any scene, and it posts on the schedule you set.
Credits are the unit: a Short is 10, a 10 minute long-form is 50. The free plan has 20 credits, Starter is $19 for 300, Growth is $59 for 1,200 with three workspaces, Pro is $149 for 4,000 with ten. A workspace is a niche, a format, a voice, a schedule and its own connected accounts.
Honest limits: it is new, it is in waitlist, and it does not try to be a general video editor.
Best for: running one to several faceless channels with both formats and a posting schedule, without editing by hand.
How to decide
- Want Shorts only, fast, cheap: Faceless.so or AutoShorts.
- Want to edit yourself with AI help: Revid or Crayo.
- Want long-form on YouTube with a premium tool: Vidrush.
- Want long-form and Shorts from one brief, posted everywhere, with a voice that is yours: PostFaceless.
Whatever you pick, test the output on one real niche for 30 days before committing to a yearly plan. Every tool on this list looks best in its own demo.
