This head-to-head comparison of Vyond vs. Animaker analyzes the 5 most essential factors worth considering before you sign up for anything:
CHAPTERS
0. Intro (0:00)
1. Aesthetics (1:08)
2. Interface (3:46)
3. Animations (6:43)
4. Output (8:03)
5. Price (10:06)
I'm not surprised if you're confused about all the different animation makers out there. It's a jungle, and they are hard to compare.
So, I decided to go deep on two major players. And use my 10+ years of experience with browser-based explainer tools to help you understand how they differ.
I look at 5 concrete factors that I believe to be essential in your decision on what animation maker is the right one for your specific use case.
First, we look at the aesthetics of each tool. How does the Props, Characters, Scenes, Backgrounds, and Templates look like?
Next, we evaluate the user interface (UI) of both video creators to figure out if these tools will be easy to learn and pleasant to work with.
Then, we talk about animation. How are the libraries of animated elements made? What actions can the characters perform? How do we make static illustrations come alive?
The fourth factor is output, as our 2D animation videos are worthless until we get them out of this animation software, right? So, how do they export; what resolutions and formats are available?
Lastly, we touch upon price as the plans for Animaker and Vyond are quite different. Hard to compare, but there are some main features we can hold up against each other.
Thanks for watching-and make sure to use the sign-up links up top, if you want to try either Vyond or Animaker đ

Rued, Your content is insanely informative. I really appreciate CZcams creators like yourself that go the extra mile to over deliver. People do not understand the time that goes into quality videos like yours. I do my best to over deliver in my videos as well. Keep up the great work.
great video quick note you can move scenes in full mood by clicking and dragging the scenes in the right panel
I'm new to Vyond and I love your videos, thank you so much for your hard work and energy.
This was such a good comparison video. Ive been using Animaker for a year 1/2, but want to take things to another level very soon. Thank you so much for specific details -)
Hello
I have no experience in animation, just want to create one about cavemen life, which one do you suggest I use that can have some pictures of cavemen ?
@@ellieisari1685 Hi...Animaker does allow you to make design your own character, so perhaps you would have to design it, but it dosent take a long time to do.... I would reach out to either program creators, to find out if they have a character close to a caveman. Animaker also has an images section that has options to other images...I also look online for animated images that may help in spicing up my vids...You can usually import animated images into most programs.....
Thank you Rued.
Another solid, clear and precise comparison. It has to be Vyond all the way for a professional tool.
Watch this video which i made using animaker czcams.com/video/zzVDhM7XVBw/video.html
Very professional comparison of the two products. Thanks,
Wow this video is really simple and helpful for decision making :) Thanks for all the time you put into this.
Thanks! I'm gonna do a micro-survey with you then, and ask why you don't subscribe to my channel? đ€
I struggle to understand why everyone loves my videos, but so few subscribe đ
Very interesting, helped me decide which product to use!
Such detailed and clear information, thank you
Glad you liked it - thanks for the nice comment đđ»
What animation maker did you use to make this video? Especially the intro and so on ....
Excellent review, thanks a lot
You're welcome, Lucas. Hope it helped in your decision process.
You have made really a great and in-depth video ! Simple, clean and Superb !
Wanted to go with Vyond, but my budget doesn't allow to go for it.
So went for Animaker :) Though I'm quite Happy. No regret at all.
Prayers that, GOD give that much Wealth and Strength in future to go for Vyond's Top most plan. đ
Thereâs a 15% discount code on my blog đ€
@@RuedRiisCom Thank You So Much, Still it goes bigger for Indian đ. Because 1 Dollar = 75 INR.

vyonds pricing model is absolutely insane, it truly rivals the likes of articulate with their insane pricing
Another great video. Vyond is professional for sure. I might go with Animaker just because it is free for 5 vids a month and I will not need much more. Thanks for sharing your huge experience with us!
Watch this video which i made using animaker czcams.com/video/zzVDhM7XVBw/video.html
omg i didnât know it was 5 exports per month. i thought it was 5 exports per user
Regarding Vyond, have the plans been change cause now in the professional plans I can see:
Font import
Auto translate videos
Global edit
Bulk text edit
Speech enhancer
Share a library with users on the same team plan
Priority phone support
No mention of the contemporary style access that you get
If I have a couple of CZcams channel (teaching different languages) and sell language courses (they all belong to me) do I need to pay transfer fee? Really appreciate you clear video and you get to the point

Which application is better for creating story videos . cleaning utensils seen and objects like grass , utensils these are available in which application plz suggest
Love your videos, Rued!
Thanks, Dima :)
I appreciate your video. Due to unforseen circumstances I am needing to find a way to produce content quick but am wanting to use animation rather than myself. Would you say that I could figure out the Vyond program with no previous video editing training? Is there something I should study first before attempting? Thanks so much for your help! edit.. Is there one that would work that is cheaper than 50 bucks a month?
Yes. And my courses are made for your exact use case. So check those out as well :)
Very nice explanations.

which of the two would be good for creating a childrens youtube book? or is there something else you would recommend?
does both have movable camera angle so i can make some cinematic action animation movie? I mean does it even possible?
Thanks for the info. What about voiceovers?
Can we make animaker for making CZcams videos ? Is there any copyright issue??
This was still nice and kind for Animaker. Such a pity you did not dive deeper into the actions library of both tools. I just did that and Vyond has 2500+ actions and Animaker like 600+, extremely limited and some crazy options like running with a spear or running with an olympic torch, but no simple running!! Or a selfie with an alien but no simple standing without moving under a 45% angle. Animaker Absolutely sucks when it comes to comparing actions between the 2 tools and I think people deserve to know that. We bought license to Animaker only because we did not know about Vyond at that time. Animaker is only good at animaking educational videos where the character comes to the scene, waves at you, and point at something on a whiteboard, that;'s about it. Vyond gives you the freedom to create a full story. I wish people are properly warned about Animaker, despite its first look.
This oneâs old. Check out the newer review.
Thanks for this overview!
Hello!
Youâre very welcome đ€
I went with Animaker because it meets my needs well enough and, as an educator, I was able to get a discount. As far as I know, Vyond does not offer educational discounts.
Thank you for superb information
Nice tutorial. Planning to get Vyond soon. What's the name of the song at the end of your video? I like that beat.
Hi. Is it possible to stick logo to the object that is part of character. For example a man who carrying a bag and it is moving- I need the logo that is combined piece of this bag that would act the same motion. How to deal with it ?
Hi Rued! Thank you for this informative video! May I ask what program you used to animate the price segment? Thank you.
Sure, itâs Vyond - the whiteboard stuff, right?
@@RuedRiisCom thank you!
Thanks for this information! It helps a lot since I am considering which animation tool to use. What do you think of Create Studio? That looks cool too.
Yes, that also looks cool, but I think it's a little more advanced and thereby they put themselves in a narrow space, where the distance up to full-blown tools like AfterEffects is too short.
Thanks for your response.
Yeah. That is right. Create studio has more control but seems a bit advanced.
I want to create this type of animation story in this link (Sorry it is Japanese) for my Japanese language teaching contents. Not as long as this one but shorter one.
I know this is made by Vyond. but do you think it is also possible to make it by Toonly or Animaker (or Create Studio if you know)?
czcams.com/video/Rxkl3We1r6A/video.html
@@satouzbek You probably can - with a different look of course. But all the functionality matches by and large, so there will be ways to execute your ideas in those tools as well.
Thanks a lot! I will look into each software. It will be very helpful and great if you can review Create Studio as well someday :)
How do you add "person" and a "car" together-- driving the car?
Please make sure you provide captioning for your excellent videos. Thank you!
Good work dude!
Thank you - subscribe to see more of it đ€
I had tried the two of them. Both Animaker and Vyond are great and easy to use, even for an anime newbie like me (the most important is practice). However, I finally chose Vyond and am now using it (although it is Vyond lowest plan, and I am still learning to optimally use its features) for creating my animation video based on some considerations, mainly:
- in Vyond, there is no limitation on text-to-speech conversion and video download
- adjusting the timing of the audio with the video is easier in Vyond rather than than in Animaker
- (relatively) unlimited customized character in Vyond.
Sounds like good considerations - hope you get a lot out of Vyond!
@@RuedRiisCom Thank you. I wish you more success and happiness đ
Thank you Joy for this comments, the limitation of download on Animaker made me want to go in the loo and take number two; we are content creators who makes 5 videos per month?
@@deep-relaxing-music-mood-v5748 sometimes I make more than 4 videos per month, sometimes less than 4 (sometimes none đ ). Even when I make less than 4 videos, I sometimes "revise" them (before publishing them), thus I usually make and download more than 4 videos per month.
@@joysalad7136 say that again Joy, i think they should not only focus on companies but also think there's content creators like us who takes this really really serious. Otherwise keep working Joy and take care.
What would be the best app to make a 4 min music video to put on youtube? Thanks!!!
Which animation program is best to create your own designed character for unusual hairstyles and clothing please
Is it any an easy way to synchronized our voice and video in Animaker? I feel it is so hard to make it synchronized. Thank you.
Sir i want to ask one thing. As a freelancer, do i need to pay Vyond $99 for "each and every" video i create with Vyond ?
in one article Vyond says that we just have to pay the rights fee when we create commercial ad video for a "business" , but in another place, its reads as, we have to pay $99 for * every video we create* with Vyond. its very confusing. if anyone can help in this please.
Rued, the animaker video trailer, was actually made with animaker, just an older version with a seperate art style
No chance đ€
Good workâ€
Vyond professional subscription is for multiuser or not ?
Thanks a lot sirđđđ
Youâre welcome đ€
Thank you
Which animation software is easy to use but allow you to create the characters. I am looking to make human cells in cartoon type characters. Which software would be best?
If you want a custom animated protagonist, there's no tool to help you out. No easy one, that is. You gotta learn animation from the ground up.
If you rethink your first idea and are fine with an alternative. e.g. a human character explaining cells, then Vyond is your goto.
Hello greetings from MedellĂn Colombia. thanks for this excellent video. in my case I stick with vyond as it has lip sync and not animaker.
Hi there. My profile photo is from guatape. Always in medellin.. laureles! I actually write a lot of my songs when I'm in Colombia!!
At the essential price is a watermark in the vids??
Thanks for the nice video! If I get the vyond premium, am I allowed to upload videos on my utube channel or it has extra fees?
Yes you can - no problem.
By your explanation I choose Vyond, thanks for sharing
Youâre welcome đ€đ€
Great video! Thank you. Since recently AI has merged, do you have new recommendations based on the speed and quality of a video that can be created by AI? Thanks
Most of the AI animation tools and features are still quite bad, so I'm still doing it the semi-manual, template-based way.
Thank you! I appreciate you responding to my comment! @@RuedRiisCom
only sad thing the watermark in trial version of vyod
I gotta say that Vyond is my pick for the greatest animation websites to exist. Since it's what i usually use.
have to watched gary vayernerchuk cartoon posts on LinkedIn and CZcams? I want to know how are they made
They are hand-drawn - next level đ
i want to know if animaker or vyond videos can be monetized for adsense...really appreciate..
Sure, you just have to make sure your content is original. Then it's totally fine. What can't be monetized is template videos, re-uploads, non-original stuff.
i need help with making my scene in vyond in night mode
if I want to make animations for kids, like songs or cartoons, which tool is better?
vyond
none of them
@@OldBloxycube then which is better,can you please let me know
A1 informational video
Animakerâs subscription model is totally ridiculous for a casual user. If one purchases a plan that includes 10 downloads per month - and signs up and pays for a year in advance - I would expect 120 downloads to be credited to may account - and I should be able to use them when I see fit - say all in the first month or all in the the last month. But thatâs not how it works.
If I donât use ANY downloads in each of the first 3 months - but then need to do 15 downloads in the 4th month, they charge me extra for 5 of them because Iâve gone over the monthly limit. Their plans nickel and dime the casual user. They may be good for a business or someone who is going to use the service regularly - but they have no plans suitable for casual users.
One video clip could easily consume 3 premium downloads if you donât get it perfectly correct and need to tweak it.
Overall, it seems like a pretty powerful tool - until you want to start working with video clips (ie for an explainer video). Videos can be used as a background - but if you want to do Picture in Picture stuff, it quickly becomes insanely frustrating.
What would be a good free or low-cost animation maker for making simple kids cartoon style videos?
Great question! There are actually several free or low-cost animation makers that you can use to make simple kids cartoon style videos. Here are a few options to consider:
Powtoon - Powtoon is a free online animation software that allows you to create engaging and entertaining cartoon-style videos. It has a user-friendly interface and a wide range of pre-designed templates, characters, and props that you can use to create your animations.
Pencil2D - Pencil2D is a free and open-source 2D animation software that is perfect for making simple kids cartoon-style videos. It has a straightforward interface and a variety of drawing tools that allow you to create hand-drawn animations.
Animaker - Animaker is a web-based animation software that offers a free version with limited features and a low-cost subscription version with more advanced features. It has a large library of pre-made characters, backgrounds, and sound effects that you can use to create your animations.
Synfig Studio - Synfig Studio is a free and open-source 2D animation software that is great for making simple kids cartoon-style videos. It has a powerful set of tools and allows you to create vector-based animations.
I hope these suggestions help you find the perfect animation maker for your needs!
â@Rued Riis thanks for such a detailed response dude! I really approach you taking the time to answer.
Rued, does animaker or vyond supports local language or custom fonts? like if I wish to create videos in Hindi or Bengali?
Vyond does yes
@@RuedRiisCom thank u
Animaker worth when it comes to how many videos you can download per month, only 10 Downloads/mo for 20$ and extra download are tio expensiv.
Both
This is probably an odd question. Can you make the female characters pregnant in Vyond? I am an educator at a university in an area focused on pregnancy related issues and would like to incorporate some of these type videos in my materials.
Yes, you can - but it used to be kind of a workaround (ball on stomach). Maybe they've made the updates to make it easier - I'd assume you can now :)
Vyond nĂŁo funciona no IPAD, uma pena.
You didn't talk about the Vyond's export limits per month.
That's because there is none đ€
@@RuedRiisCom Thank you
how much videos we can export from vyond planwise,please guide mi
No limit :)
Would be nice if those has animals, furry and anthro characters you can make.
I try to find bedsheet in anymaker but not found here. So vyond is much batter.
Anymaker not working properly as according set properties. While beyond working proper with all functions.
Animaker character looks is good only. But functions is not really good. I can proove.
please make a video on how to earn using vyond and how do you earn via the sameđ
Yes please make a video on this sir!
I'll think about it - but it's not that simple as me making money from using Vyond. Vyond and animation in general is one component of my content creation that I then monetize by selling courses, showing ads on CZcams and via affiliated links. I don't freelance anymore, which is the simplest way to make money from an animation skillset built on Vyond like mine.
It's live đ czcams.com/video/mVMwSbpHVfE/video.html
Give me link to download free vyond software
Vyond is super costly, can you help me with any alternate platform similar like Vyond with low subscription charges?
It's really not much that expensive - also not when compared to other animation makers: www.ruedriis.com/blog/vyond-faq#h32skjo5ej0c1mmucgv1i3zsehv9lcci
Is there any video animator A.I text to video ?
I've thought about building it :) The ones that exist are extremely bad.
Your audio is very quiet. Please consider increasing volume somehow.
You can turn up the volume on your computer or CZcams player đ€
The limitation of what you can download on these software is what get to my nerves. Animaker you can download 5 videos per month we are content creators who make more videos than that.
With Vyond there are no limits. I agree :)
Just wanted to stop by and let you know that you're adorable âș Also loved the video!
Thanks đ€
first video watching here from you....Dude are you German?,) I guess so...Thanks for the review
Almost German - DANISH! đ€
An expert in comparing Vyond with all kind of different things. :-)
You gotta stick to what you _know_ , right? I'm a *huge* fan and super-user of Vyond, so that's always my point of departure when testing out alternatives đ€
@@RuedRiisCom man Rued def made GoAnimate Cailou Grounded Videos
Vyond is no friend of beginners or fresh starters. It's farrrrr way too costly. One cannot even download a created video during one's trial period. You can't even share to social media. That's terrible. Animaker is the best because it has a free version where beginners can learn and become expert and can also freely download and share to various social media for viewing. No offense but Vyond isn't friendly AT ALL in its policy and purchase methods. Despite it's high demands for money, its watermark almost covers the full video being created, still it can't be downloaded nor shared. Gosh! I highly prefer Animaker 100 times over to Vyond!
Vyond is premium for sure; for the professionals. Animaker is great for hobby projects, and the pricing model of both reflects this to some degree.
If you are serious about building a business using animation, don't waste your precious time on anything else than the best tools.
@@RuedRiisCom Agreed! But Vyond should try to bring down their pricing for many to have access to it. Animaker is also one of the very best animation tools based on my growing experience. I believe you have used it and you can attest to that fact my dear Rued!
Can I use these to tell fiction stories?
Course you can :)
i think Animamker is better
Good
Is vyond have free trail?
Yes - at ruedriis.com/vyond
you didn't talk about allowed download counts
You can cover that in your review đđ»
It is bothersome to me that vyond has a watermark even when you pay. It reduces my trust.
So I think conclusion is if you are beginner so animaker is the best option. But if you want to use it for professional than we should use vyond
No, the lack of Animaker actions only limits Animaker videos to educational / presentation style videos. With Vyond you can create a movie if you want to.
Thanks for the compare. I found the Vyond Tool far more enjoyable to use during my trial than Animaker/
If I were to publish CZcams videos in Vyond, is the Essential package enough for acquiring the rights?
Secondly, I can't seem to find any integrated background remover as Animaker has when uploading images with a useless backgrounds. How so without incurring an additional expense?
Ok.
Very expensive to use, big barrier to entry for new players.

Yes, i would. .
Too much expensive đŻ
It's a little investment to make for sure, but if you get good enough to monetize your skills - or use it in a job - it is for sure worth the money.
