Hi guys; here are the links I recommend checking out before signing up for any of the tools: 🔶 Toonly FAQ: bit.ly/toonlyFAQ 🔷 Vyond Mini-Course: www.ruedriis.com/store
You're welcome. Glad to hear you liked it. Okay, cool - I also find the Whiteboard and Business Friendly styles more than enough-but still have an aesthetics preference for the Contemporary style 🤗
The pricing is a big blow for Vyond. I'm ok with paying $49 but still having a watermark. That's almost a minus 2-star for me. I mean $49 and still exporting a watermark takes a lot of value on how professional the video looks. If it was used for a business it just calls out cheap quality even if the aesthetics of the characters are better. Thank you for the information
I agree - that's not okay. Essentially, they don't want you onboard unless you are ready to pay real money for a Premium or Professional subscription. That's just the way it is and what we have to accept..
@@RuedRiisCom thanks for the feedback. I may only use it for 1 promo video I’ll put together myself. But the combination of time and a monthly cost upgrade without watermark to produce a video will still be more affordable than outsourcing. When I get round to this video I will be sure to use your affiliate link. I appreciate your information.
Hi Rued. Thanks for sharing this comparison. That was very helpful. I'm struggling to decide which tool I should use for my video needs as a freelancer in graphics and web design. If I had talent, budget and time, I would go with Adobe After Effects, but I need a slick tool to do some explainers and animated whiteboards. Vyond is too expensive for me. Toonly could be an option. I will have a look at your other reviews to have more information. Thanks again and be well! 🍀
Rued, as a beginner in this field, I found the style and content of this comparison video to be amazingly useful. It goes into just enough detail on the functionality of each product, to help me decide what to go for. Thank you so much. I will check out your other videos now.
This is a great video. You explained the pros and cons so well. I am now very interested in Vyond. The biggest downside from what I can see, however, is not supporting multiple animations per scene, and the price. I will have to think since I am new to explainer video software.
If you take this course, www.ruedriis.com/go-beyond-vyond, you'll both learn how to use multiple actions per scene AND get a discount for Vyond, so it'll solve both your problems 🤗
Totally agree. I have used Adobe's Character Animator as well as Animaker, and there is no limit to how many avatar actions you can use in one scene. And I work for a very small non-profit organization with a limited budget, so the cost of Vyond (or Animaker) is daunting. Even the cost of Rued's training is prohibitive for me.
I've hit the like, subscirbe, bell but now wondering what's next to do because this video deserves more than that.. I wish i can like it 10 times or hundred times more... Thank you for the efforts
Im so greatfull for your comparison that was well explained, can you please tell us where can we find a complete video explainer done by Vyond so we can see how it looks like
@@RuedRiisCom haha do you have specific one you like? cause there is a very diverse and woderful videos all around the channel, if you could provide me with link that will be great
Hello Rued, im here just want to say, Thank You. Your video is Awesome, very detaill, systematic, and to the point. Thank you for spending your time to explain this to us. Have a good day
Very helpful, particularly because Toonly doesn't allow a free trial. I love Vyond but as a freshly graduated, newly minted ID, I really can't afford the monthly fee at this point. Trying to decide if the $67 Toonly is worthwhile for me or if I should just hold out for Vyond...or a job offer, lol.
Thanks a lot - and yeah, me too; where are all those subscribers?! 😆 I think my area of expertise is a bit too narrow for the millions to come rolling in..
Can't compare vyond with any other online software out there...toonly is just fine for creating powerpoint style videos that have no personality while in Vyond, things go beyond:)
@@RuedRiisCom Just signed up for the pro monthly, today... Needed to export my videos... I´ll send you the link once I post it on YT so you can laugh at my inabilities LOL
@@RuedRiisCom As promised, here's my two videos so far... I don't want to blow my own horn here, but I think I came up with some really cool transitions lol Thanks again for the really cool tips. czcams.com/video/tWDCMhq2Qgg/video.html
Couple of questions about Vyond: Can you also create (draw) your own characters to use instead of using their templates? Also, for lip synching, can it be done for two characters in the same video or just one at a time? Thank you in advance.
Hey Rued, I got a quick question for you, what software should I go for if I want to make inspirational and motivational videos. Looking forward to your response
Thank you Rued, Lots of great info. I was about to purchase Vyond, when I clicked on the terms of service and found this term, "No right or license is granted to display or perform any Video (in whole or in part), over any of broadcast, cable, satellite television or subscription-based or pay-per-download over-the-top (OTT) platforms or in any public performance (i.e., including, without limitation, exhibition over the Internet)." Sounds like you can't use your video creations for CZcams videos. Is that what it sounds like to you? I wanted it specifically for my CZcams videos. That is why I am asking. Thank you! Naomi
Is it possible that you’ve made the mistake of pasting parts of an old Terms of Service text? I read the latest one from 2021 and don’t see the sentence about Internet. “No right or license is granted to display or perform any Video (in whole or in part), over any of broadcast, cable, satellite television or subscription-based or pay-per-download over-the-top (OTT) platforms.” But then again, you’re lawyer, so correct me if I’m wrong. Then I’ll look more into it.
@@RuedRiisCom Thank you for your response. I believe it is up to date as it popped up before I finalized the purchase. It was in the restrictions section of the terms. Anyway, thank you again! Naomi
Great comparison. I wanted to know which of these two services allows clicking on answers within the video. I want to create training videos with questions and staff answer possible answers within the video. Is this possible with these two services or do I need a different service? Thank you
You need a LMS platform of some sort. To host your videos within a system that allows for clicks, branching and tracking. Many use Articulate as a platform :)
The problems I see with Vyond are the cost and maybe how easy it is for a beginner to use it... considering that you have an almost 500$ course on how to use it suggests that it's not that easy to use and also adds to the total cost. When paying 160$ a month for a service I'm expecting to get useful videos on how to use it in that price. I think you are doing a great job in promoting Vyond and maybe in selling your course. I'd recommend to any of the viewers to take your information with a grain of salt and try the apps/platforms themselves before deciding to buy any of the plans. Thank you for your info and best of luck
Also Compatibility: VyondD works smoothly from Firefox browser. So, Mac, Linux, Android, ChromeOS, Windows all work the same, even when you run on nonstandard hardware like, say, a Raspberry Pi. Toonly... Well, yeah. Get yourself an x86-64 Windows box, else you're out of luck. Wine is a chance, but I wouldn't count on it.
I have Toonly and its just too limited in terms of characters, basically every Toonly video has the same characters wearing the same clothes. Also another annoying thing is, you can only chose 1 action at a time.
Thanks Rued, for the excellent review. I have a question. Do I have to pay an extra fee of 99 dollar every-time I download a video for a client (third part)? I don't understand what they mean with third part? Could you explain it to me? Thank you!
Hi nice video, I'm interested in making 4-5sec animations like those you would get from Final Fantasy Summons (game) do you have any suggestions on how it can be done? Thanks.
Damn, I wish I have watched this video earlier because I already bought Toonly. Needless to say, if only Vyond has that Lifetime payment option like Toonly has, that would be great.
In these cases is where I call this software programs "American Software". Why? For people who live outside the United States, the prices are way too high. $159 in my country = $3180 which is almost my salary at month
bro..i have a doubt..do we have an option to remove/disappear an element after a fixed number of seconds without using scribble option or overwriting with some other elements??
Hi Rued, vyond charges freelancers $99 if they wish to transfer the rights of a video to a client. Does toonly have similar fees? For me vyond is just not a financially feasible choice because of this fee!
@@RuedRiisCom I recall you were comapring these requirements on one of your videos - does toonely do the same? I believe on some extend, they allow to re-sell it but not on basic license? Let me know if you happen to remember this as I didnt find any info on toonly - thanks!
you forgot to mention how vyond is a ripoff with a monthly fee, toonly is getting better but well worth is versus a monthly fee, yeah you get templates as long as you pay monthly
WOW... Imagine paying $50 a month for a program that still embeds their watermark... Watermarking is almost ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS for free versions of a product.

I think they do discounts for students/graduates .. maybe if you write them and ask?
Otherwise you can use RUED15 to slice off 15% of the yearly deals. If you bet on Vyond as your tool of choice.
Hey Rued! This was great! Love the effort you put in. Surprised you don't have a million subs yet!! Much love from India!

@@RuedRiisCom tks for your feedback, I did some test with Animaker and is fast and cheaper than Vyond. Have a great weekend 👍😀
thanks for your deep analyzing
You're welcome!
Hey Rued, I got a quick question for you, what software should I go for if I want to make inspirational and motivational videos. Looking forward to your response
I would buy ScreenFlow and their stock library. It's full of things you need for motivational videos like video clips, music, etc.
Thank you so very much for taking your precious time to respond to my question. You're greatly appreciated man
Thanks for the video. Please has there been any new updates since this video was made?
Sure - I'll be looking into any updates very soon.

Yes. Every time you want to sell a video to a customer of yours - e.g. as an agency or freelancer - you pay the Transfer Rights fee to Vyond.
@@RuedRiisCom No problem ;-). Thanks for your discount !. I ordered this wonderful program.
Does it mean that we can't you combination usual video + toonly, like you did in this video combining video and Vyond
Well done thanx! Q. Could I use either of these tools to make non video instructional slides. ?
Sure, that’s a possibility too.
@@RuedRiisCom like could I create scenes and save them as a PDF or other files?
If I buy the annual version of viyond, if they raise the price the following year, will I still pay the price I paid or will they raise the price too?
I’m pretty positive you keep your price, but to know for sure, you have to ask them.
@@RuedRiisCom Thanks, do you have a discount or something like that?
@@EconomiaDesdeCasa I sure do; you find it on my blog (in the sidebar): www.ruedriis.com/blog
@@RuedRiisCom they replied and told me that the price would go up 😔.
@@RuedRiisCom thanks for the discount
Summary: Vyond = monthly subscription, Toonly = one time payment + upgrades. Am I correct?
Ur video really help me alot👍
Fantastic - then it's worth all the time that went into it :)
One point to Toonly: characters moviment trimming. I can't do this on Vyond.
One point to Vyond: ir works online. Toonly has to be downloaded.
Good pointers. Vyond’s movements can be trimmed - with a workaround. And some prefer the offline option. So it’s hard to give these points 🤗👍🏻
i agree with you :)
That's good to hear!
Can i change emotions of the characters ? Like sadness
Sure, they have a whole series of expressions that you can play around with.
Hi nice video, I'm interested in making 4-5sec animations like those you would get from Final Fantasy Summons (game) do you have any suggestions on how it can be done? Thanks.
I don’t know that format, sorry.
Damn, I wish I have watched this video earlier because I already bought Toonly. Needless to say, if only Vyond has that Lifetime payment option like Toonly has, that would be great.
what about Studio Sparko Scribelyl vs Toonly vs
How did you make your intro?? Its nice
I made it using PlaceIt - you customize it then buy it in the platform. Real easy and nice.
Doodly VS Vyond also please!!
I’ll have to look into that, yes!
So if I am using 100% my own images toonly would be better in terms of cost?
In these cases is where I call this software programs "American Software". Why? For people who live outside the United States, the prices are way too high. $159 in my country = $3180 which is almost my salary at month
bro..i have a doubt..do we have an option to remove/disappear an element after a fixed number of seconds without using scribble option or overwriting with some other elements??
In Toonly, you mean? Sure.
Very true. I agree.
Glad to hear that 😉
Hey man great video! I also make animated software tutorials, not many people are covering these topics 😊.
Great, just checked out your channel and looks good. Will have to research Animaker more in the future :)
Thanks bro..!!
Great video!
Hi Rued, vyond charges freelancers $99 if they wish to transfer the rights of a video to a client. Does toonly have similar fees? For me vyond is just not a financially feasible choice because of this fee!

Is it possible to create videos with Vyond for my clients or it needs to pay extra toVyond for creating those for a third party? Please let me know.
Yes. There's a reseller fee of $99 per video.

Vyond is costly monthly subscription have to be purchased of the software Toonly offers one time fee
i don't use vyond i only use wrapper offline cause its kind of like the old vyond legacy but i'll say vyond is better
Nice video:)
Vtoon or vyond?
you so smart
Thank you! I try my best to keep learning and sharing those insights 🙏
@@RuedRiisCom i’ll try
Content created by these two programs are demonitized though.
It's not true. I made $10k+ last year on CZcams ads on this kind of content.
Please how do I make wonderful videos like animal videos
What you don't mention is that this piece of software is extremely expensive!!
you forgot to mention how vyond is a ripoff with a monthly fee, toonly is getting better but well worth is versus a monthly fee, yeah you get templates as long as you pay monthly
Sure, it does cost more, but you also get a premium tool, I think. What tools are you using at the moment? Any recommendations?
WOW... Imagine paying $50 a month for a program that still embeds their watermark... Watermarking is almost ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS for free versions of a product.
Yeah it’s an interesting pricing model :)
