Which one to choose
Choose ClipOnIt if…
Choose ClipOnIt if you want a vertical explainer video ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, composed by AI from an idea, a text or your voice, in 24 visual styles plus your own, editable by talking to the AI Director, drivable from Claude or ChatGPT (MCP) or an API.
Looking for a VideoScribe alternative?
A whiteboard video made by AI
VideoScribe is whiteboard video software where you place each image, pick the drawing hand and tune the stroke. ClipOnIt keeps the whiteboard spirit with its sketch style: line drawings appear at the pace of the voice. There is no hand on screen, and nothing for you to place: AI writes the script and times the sketches to each word.
A free and cheaper VideoScribe alternative?
VideoScribe offers a 7-day trial with no card (watermark, 3 downloads), then Lite at €13.75/month billed €165 yearly; monthly prices are not shown. ClipOnIt has a permanent free plan (3 videos a month with a watermark, the sketch style included), then Starter at $29/month or $24/month yearly. VideoScribe is cheaper to start.
What about Doodly?
Doodly follows the same principle as VideoScribe: software where you build a hand-drawn animation yourself. We did not check its prices for this comparison. If you are looking for a Doodly alternative for vertical videos without editing, the comparison with ClipOnIt is the same as here.
What ClipOnIt does not do
The video comes out in vertical 9:16 only: for a 16:9 presentation or a square format, you need another tool. ClipOnIt has no avatar or on-screen presenter, only animated illustrations and a voice. In the sketch style, drawings appear on their own, without a drawing hand. And the free plan keeps a watermark and an end card.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Short answers, sourced like the table.
Which VideoScribe alternative for TikTok?
ClipOnIt makes whiteboard-style videos directly in 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with captions. VideoScribe also exports in portrait, but you build the video yourself.
Does ClipOnIt have a drawing hand like VideoScribe?
No. In ClipOnIt's sketch style, drawings appear and animate on their own, timed to the voice. If the drawing hand is a must, VideoScribe is the right tool.
How much do VideoScribe and ClipOnIt cost?
VideoScribe: 7-day trial, then Lite at €13.75/month, Core at €22.92/month, Max at €29.17/month, billed yearly. ClipOnIt: free (3 videos/month), then $29/month or $24/month yearly. Prices checked on Nov 14, 2026.
Does ClipOnIt have an API or an MCP server?
Yes, from the Starter plan: a REST API documented in OpenAPI 3.1 and an MCP server usable from Claude or ChatGPT to write, compose and render an explainer video. Posting to TikTok happens from the app, with your confirmation.
