AutoShorts turns a topic into a faceless video series and posts it to TikTok and YouTube for you. Its prices here come from third-party reviews, because its own pricing page did not load. Revid, Faceless.so and Syllaby also post for you. GhostShorts, Crayo and InVideo AI make the video and leave posting to you, and GhostShorts does not auto-post. Opus Clip is for clipping long videos you already have.

One line each, from the tool's own pages. GhostShorts is held to the same standard, so its row says what it does not do.
| Tool | Where it fits | Where it does not fit |
|---|---|---|
| AutoShorts | Turns a topic into a series and posts it to TikTok and YouTube for you, with no per-video work (per third-party reviews). | One series per subscription and monthly billing only (third-party review). Trustpilot reviewers say the free test video is often not available. |
| GhostShorts | Fixed templates such as Reddit story, text messages, quiz, split screen and clipping, with a free preview of your own input on most, plus an API and MCP server for four templates. | It does not auto-post or schedule, so it does not replace an AutoShorts Series. There is no free plan, and the app interface is English only. |
| Crayo | Reddit story, fake text, clipping, subtitles and face swap in one tool. | The headline prices are billed yearly and the monthly-billing price is not shown. Auto-posting is not listed. Third-party reviews say there is no free plan or trial. |
| Revid | Posts to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube on Growth and above, with Auto-Mode schedules, and has an API, MCP and CLI on Growth. | Hobby ($39 a month) includes no AI credits. Growth at $39 a month is a promo price, shown crossed out from $99. Generation is credit-metered. |
| Faceless.so | Posts to seven platforms with "Unlimited Series", across 28 niches. | Starter is $24 a month on the pricing page, but the homepage says "from $29/mo". API access is listed on Ultra ($166 a month) only. |
| Syllaby | The lowest entry price on this page (Starter, $9 a month) and bulk scheduling on every plan. | Starter covers about 7 videos a month. There is no free trial, only a 30-day refund window. |
| Opus Clip | Clips a long video into shorts, has a watermarked free plan, and schedules posts on Pro. | Clipping only. It does not write faceless story videos from a topic, so it replaces AutoShorts only if you already have long videos. |
| InVideo AI | A general prompt-to-video agent with a timeline editor. | The $20 a month Starter price is on annual billing. No named faceless templates, auto-posting is not confirmed, and unused credits do not roll over. |

We picked tools an AutoShorts user would realistically look at next: three that auto-post like AutoShorts (Revid, Faceless.so, Syllaby), three that make the video and leave posting to you (GhostShorts, Crayo, InVideo AI), and one clipping tool (Opus Clip) for people who already have long videos.
Every price was read from the tool's own pricing page on 2026-09-27, except AutoShorts, whose page did not load, so its prices come from a dated third-party review. Numbers we could not confirm are left out. We did not test output quality and nothing here is a ranking. GhostShorts is our product.

The same template runs through the GhostShorts API and MCP server. Connect it once and ask your assistant for a video; it comes back as a finished MP4 on the same plan and credits.
