A third option: where Faceless fits
Neither InVideo nor Pictory is built around publishing a daily faceless channel. If that is the job, Faceless turns a prompt, script, or Reddit URL into a narrated video and auto-posts it to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram from $29/month. It is not a replacement for what either tool here does best.
