InVideo Alternative

Videos about your business, built from what your website says.

InVideo AI is an online video maker that turns a text prompt into a video with stock footage, an AI voice and subtitles. It is closed source, runs in the cloud and is sold as subscription plans.

OpenPromo makes short brand videos instead: reels, promo videos and tutorials built from your brand profile, your own screenshots and your fonts and colors.

How OpenPromo differs from InVideo

  • Built from your website, with sources

    OpenPromo reads your site into a brand profile first. Each selling point keeps the sentence it came from, and figures that are not on your website are flagged before you render.

  • Real text, never drawn by AI

    Headlines and captions are real text in your brand fonts, rendered from templates. AI only makes backdrop pictures, B-roll, voice and music, so there is no garbled lettering.

  • Open source and self-hostable

    The whole app is MIT licensed. Run it on your own server with one Docker command, read the code, change it and keep your changes.

  • You control the spending

    There is no plan to outgrow. AI calls are billed to your own YepAPI key, every call is logged with its price, and a monthly limit refuses any call that would cross it.

When InVideo is the better choice

  • You want long videos on any topic, not only about your own business.
  • You want a large stock footage library to build videos from.
  • You prefer to type a prompt and get a finished video with nothing to set up.

OpenPromo does not publish or schedule posts, and has no AI avatars. It makes the media, from your brand. See every feature.
