Common questions

Is there a free version of InVideo AI?

InVideo AI's own free plan: yes, watermarked. For unlimited free use, the open-source alternatives are ComfyUI and Kokoro.

Are the free alternatives to InVideo AI as good?

It depends on the job. InVideo AI is best for complete videos from a prompt, and paid services are usually easier to start with. Open-source tools cost nothing and give you more control, but most need some setup and a capable computer.

What do I need to run them?

Each tool's page lists the memory and graphics card it needs. Enter your computer's specs once on our Can I Run It page and every tool shows whether it fits.

Want the paid service anyway? See our InVideo AI page for price and free-plan details.
