How does Script2Reel compare with InVideo AI?
Script2Reel and InVideo AI both turn a prompt or a script into a narrated video with stock footage. Script2Reel focuses on three things: a free, editable scene-by-scene outline before any credits are used; charts drawn from the numbers in your spreadsheet or document and checked against it; and clear media licensing, with Pexels and Pixabay footage credited on each video page and CC0 background music. It does not offer AI avatars or AI presenters. Pricing is credit-based: 10 credits buy 1 minute of finished video. The Free plan gives 30 credits after email verification (about 3 minutes of video, 720p with a watermark). Paid plans start at $7 a month for 500 credits with 1080p and no watermark, and one-time credit packs cost $5 for 200 credits, $10 for 450 and $20 for 1,000; pack credits do not expire. Each video can be up to 2 minutes on the Free plan, 10 minutes on Starter and Pro, and 30 minutes on Enterprise. Failed renders are refunded automatically, and the first payment for a plan can be refunded in full within 7 days. InVideo's prices change often, so check its pricing page for current plans.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers about data formats, licensing, outline inspection, and pricing.
How does the free outline in Script2Reel work?
Script2Reel splits video creation into two stages. First it writes a scene-by-scene outline at no cost; you review and change every scene, narration line and footage search. Credits are only used when you render, and failed renders are refunded automatically.
Can I bring my existing scripts and files?
Yes. Paste a script or a topic, or upload a PDF, Word, text, Markdown, CSV or Excel file. Script2Reel builds the outline from it, and you can render in 16:9 or 9:16.
Is there a free plan without a credit card?
Yes. Sign up with email or a Google account and get 30 free credits after email verification; no credit card is needed. Outlines are free on every plan.
How much does a minute of video cost?
10 credits make 1 minute of video. Starter is $7/month for 500 credits (about $0.14 per minute) and Pro is $17/month for 1300 credits (about $0.13 per minute). Both render in 1080p without a watermark.
