How to choose

Which platforms are supported?

A web app runs in a browser, while an API connects generation to another app. Self-hosted tools run on infrastructure you control.

Which video controls should I compare?

Look at clip-duration and resolution limits, image-to-video capability, audio generation, and available aspect ratios. These fields show whether a tool fits short clips, higher-resolution output, images as starting points, sound, and the shape of your target screen.

How should I compare free and paid plans?

Check the free-plan mark and the starting paid price. Genmo's entry price is $10 per month; LTX Studio and Morph Studio begin at $12 per month; Hailuo AI begins at $14.99 per month. Marey gives pricing on request.

Can I use the generated videos commercially?

Check the commercial-use field before publishing or selling output. Open-source status does not by itself explain commercial rights; CogVideoX is marked open source, so review its licence for your intended use.

Does it offer an API or open-source code?

Use the API mark when you need to connect generation to another application, and the open-source mark when you need source code you can inspect or run yourself. The board identifies these options separately from free plans and free trials.
