# Cheap AI Video Generator for Faceless Channels > A cheap AI video generator that runs a whole faceless channel: Starter is $29 a month, cancel anytime, for about 25 narrated shorts with script, voice, captions and visuals, posted to 7 platforms. Canonical: https://faceless.so/use-cases/cheap-ai-video-generator Last updated: 2026-11-08 Use case Other lists price one clip at a time. Here is what $29 a month buys instead: a faceless channel that writes, voices, edits and posts itself to 7 platforms. Updated November 8, 2026 ยท By Faceless ## Starter is $29 a month, cancel anytime **Faceless Starter costs $29 a month for 500 credits: about 25 finished faceless videos, roughly $1.16 each.** Every one comes with its script, AI voice, captions, visuals and music, and posts itself on your schedule to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, X. Cancel from the billing page whenever you like. If you only want the lowest sticker price, OpusClip starts at $15 a month, and a few tools have free plans that watermark every export. Most price a seat or a minute of video, not a finished channel: on several of them you bring the script or the long video yourself, and you upload each video by hand. For a channel that posts every day, **the cost that matters is a finished, posted video**, and that is what this page prices. ## What $29 a month buys: 500 credits and about 25 videos Faceless counts in credits, and every format shows its price per video before you make it, so you know the month's output before you start: 25 narrated shorts with AI pictures, 20 credits each 33 shorts cut from real stock footage, 15 credits each 8 30 second shorts of real AI video (Motion), 60 credits each You can mix them in one month. On stock footage, Starter covers a video every day of the month. A daily series on AI pictures needs 600 credits, which Growth ($39 a month) covers. Plan credits refresh every month and do not roll over; credits you buy on top never expire. **Price the month, not the clip.** A tool that charges by the minute, by the seat or by the export can look cheaper and still cost more per posted video once you add the time you spend making and uploading each one. ## What every video includes: script, voice, captions and B-roll The credit price is the whole video, not one step of it. Each episode of a series gets: - **A new script** with a hook, written for your niche and channel. - **An AI voiceover** in more than 90 languages, the same voice on every episode. - **Captions** timed word by word, in the caption style you pick once. - **B-roll for every line:** AI pictures drawn in your look, or real stock clips picked line by line, plus zooms and transitions. - **Background music**, and no watermark. - **The upload** to every account you connect, on the days and time you choose. Every video also opens in the editor, where you can swap a picture, change a caption or rewrite a line before it posts. For a walkthrough of a single video, see [how to make faceless videos with AI](https://faceless.so/guides/how-to-make-faceless-videos-with-ai). ## Why daily posting is the cheaper way to run a faceless channel A faceless channel is a numbers game played slowly: the apps learn who to show you to from a steady run of posts in one niche, and the first weeks of any channel earn little or nothing. That makes **the running cost, in money and in hours, the thing that decides whether you last** long enough to find out what works. - **A fixed monthly price.** You know what a month of posting costs before it starts, instead of paying per clip, per minute or per edit. - **One video, 7 platforms.** Each platform counts views on its own, so the same episode gets 7 chances to find an audience for the price of one. - **No hours per video.** The hours a DIY video takes stop more channels early than the subscriptions do. Faceless does not promise views or income, and nobody honestly can. For what decides whether a channel earns, read [do faceless YouTube channels make money](https://faceless.so/guides/do-faceless-youtube-channels-make-money). ## Cheap without the AI slop: scripts researched from Google Trends, Wikipedia and Reddit Cheap video has a reputation, and a lot of it is earned: a topic invented from nothing, a script that says nothing, the same template as a thousand other channels. YouTube's inauthentic content policy demonetises mass-produced, repetitive uploads, and viewers swipe them away first. - **Every script starts from something real:** what people are searching for (Google Trends), what happened (Wikipedia and Google News) and what people are telling each other (real Reddit posts). - **Every episode is new.** A series writes each video for itself, and a Reddit series never tells the same post twice. - **You can check before it posts.** A series can wait for your approval on its first episodes or on every one, and Reddit and Facts & stories series can ask you to approve each story before any credits are spent on it. ## What it replaces: DIY editing, an editor at $15 a video, or Faceless Three ways to make the same 25 videos a month: What 25 faceless videos a month cost to make Way to make them Money a month Your time Still on you Do it yourself Free tools, or a few small subscriptions 2 to 4 hours a video, so 50 to 100 hours for 25 videos Everything: topics, script, voice, visuals, captions, upload Hire an editor About $375 a month at an example $15 a video Briefing and checking each video Topics, scripts, voice and posting, unless you pay more Faceless Starter $29 a month, about $1.16 a video About 10 minutes to set up, then a minute a video to review Picking the niche and approving videos The editor price is an example, not a market rate; editors charge anywhere from a few dollars to far more a video, and most do not write the script or post for you.
