AI video from scripts and blog posts
Pictory converts blog posts and scripts into videos using AI. It supports auto-transcription and captions, but has no free plan — the starter plan begins at $19/month with a watermark on trial exports.
Weakness: No free plan at all. Trial exports carry a watermark. $19/month minimum just to try properly. Not optimised for audio-first workflows.
