The AutoShorts Alternative

AutoShorts.ai sells a simple pitch. You describe an idea, and it hands back a finished vertical video with an AI or cloned voice and posts it for you. For getting a first faceless channel off the ground, that works, and its entry price is the same as VidPost's Starter plan. The differences show up when you want a second channel, or want to change the edit before a video goes out. Both reviews linked below say AutoShorts limits every plan, including its $69 Hardcore tier, to one series or niche at a time, so testing a second angle means replacing the first channel's queue. It also has no real timeline editor: you can swap clips inside a template, but you can't cut, retime or layer.

VidPost's Growth and Scale plans run several Series from one account, and its timeline editor lets you reorder scenes, regenerate one, re-record a line or drop in your own footage. Videos post to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X.

Where VidPost differs from AutoShorts

  • Up to 10 Series running at once on Scale (3 on Growth). AutoShorts allows one per account.

  • A timeline editor: reorder scenes, regenerate one, re-record a line or swap in your own clip.

  • Post to Facebook and X as well as TikTok, YouTube and Instagram.

  • Every plan's monthly videos and credits are on the pricing page, and you see a video's credit cost before it's made.

AutoShorts vs. VidPost FAQ

Still unsure? Email us

Is AutoShorts a bad product?

No. It's a quick way to launch one faceless channel, and its pricing is fair. The limits are one series per account on every plan, no timeline editing and no Facebook posting. If you only want one channel and never need to touch the edit, it may be all you need.

Can I run more than one niche on AutoShorts?

Not at the same time, according to both reviews linked below: every plan, including Hardcore at $69 a month, is limited to one series or niche. A second niche replaces the first instead of running beside it.

Does VidPost auto-post to the same platforms as AutoShorts?

VidPost posts to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X; for now, a video for a public TikTok account lands in your TikTok drafts and you tap Post there. AutoShorts' own marketing lists TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, without Facebook.

Which is cheaper?

At the entry level both cost $19 a month. Above that, AutoShorts charges more for posting one series more often, and VidPost charges more for more Series and more videos a month. Which is cheaper depends on how many channels you run.
