Vyond sells video-creation subscriptions for individuals, organizations, government users, and agencies. It offers five plans: Starter, Professional, Enterprise, Government, and Agency. Starter and Professional offer monthly or annual billing; Enterprise and Agency require annual billing. Government pricing is listed annually.
The price is only one part of the cost. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of credits for AI features, and plans differ in collaboration tools, available assets, and usage limits. For narrated explainer videos and product demos, explainroo is another option. It is a free, open-source kit that uses an AI coding agent to make videos on your computer.

Vyond provides fewer details about Government than about the other plans. Confirm its features and price with Vyond before buying. Enterprise and Agency do not offer monthly subscriptions. Professional, Enterprise, and Agency charge by seat. Estimate the total based on how many users need access.
How Vyond credits affect the price
Credits are a monthly allowance for certain Vyond AI features. Each plan gives users a set number of credits. Those credits cover text-to-speech and translation. They also cover AI avatars, text-to-video, and voice cloning. Vyond’s pricing update FAQ lists the credit costs for individual features.
Before choosing a plan, estimate how often each person will use these tools. Someone who mainly builds videos without frequent AI generation may need fewer credits than someone who regularly translates scripts or generates videos from text. Starter allows up to 100 videos per month and Professional up to 200; Enterprise and Agency are listed with virtually unlimited creation. Those video limits are separate from the credit allowance.
Vyond offers a free trial with 2,000 credits, but trial exports include a watermark. The trial lets you test the editor and AI features, but its watermarked exports are not finished deliverables for professional use.
When each Vyond plan fits
Starter is the entry point for an individual who needs Vyond’s core video and AI features. It includes 10,000 monthly credits, recording tools, and text-to-video. The plan allows up to 100 videos per month.
Professional makes more sense when collaboration, stock assets, translation, or generative avatars matter. It also includes more credits and a higher video limit than Starter: 20,000 credits and up to 200 videos per month. The per-seat cost rises with each user.
Enterprise is aimed at organizations that need brand controls, more advanced collaboration, and enterprise security. It is billed annually and priced per user. Compare the yearly cost with the number of people who will create videos.
Agency is tailored to agencies that need to transfer rights to clients. Its 400,000 credits per user per month and unlimited rights transfers distinguish it from the other plans. Because the plan is billed annually and priced per seat, confirm how the license applies to your client work.
Government is the plan to investigate if your purchasing requirements call for Vyond’s FedRAMP certification. Since its public feature details are less complete, ask Vyond to confirm the scope and price for your intended use.
Vyond’s official pricing update states that revised prices took effect for new subscriptions and renewals on May 7, 2025. Essential is no longer available to new users. Older pages and third-party listings may still show outdated plan names or prices.
How explainroo compares and when it is a better fit
Vyond subscriptions come with set credit allowances and video limits. Plans also include features such as stock assets and AI avatars. explainroo is a free, open-source kit under the MIT license. An AI coding agent uses it to make narrated explainer videos and product demos on your computer. The kit itself costs nothing per video. Optional AI illustrations cost money per image, and the coding agent is a separate service with its own pricing.
To use explainroo, give a compatible coding agent a topic and tell it to follow the project’s setup instructions. The agent writes a narration script and JavaScript to draw the scenes. explainroo then produces an MP4. Claude Code works best, though explainroo also supports Codex, Pi, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and other coding agents that can run shell commands. You can view sample videos or read the documentation.
explainroo suits you if you want narrated illustrations or a product demo based on a website or code, and you are comfortable asking a coding agent to make changes instead of using a drag-and-drop editor. It supports wide videos as well as tall, portrait, and square formats, with word-by-word captions on the latter three. It does not edit existing camera footage or create talking avatars or AI-generated live-action footage.
To try it, paste this prompt into a compatible coding agent and replace the bracketed topic:
Make me a short explainer video about [your topic]. Use explainroo: read its AGENTS.md and follow the steps.
The agent sets up explainroo, creates and checks the video, then gives you an MP4 file. Try explainroo.
