Best Faceless Video Generators That Auto-Post (2026)

"Auto-post" is used loosely on tool websites. A real auto-poster generates a new video on a schedule from a topic you set once, then publishes it through the platform's official API, with no download and no manual upload on your side. Plenty of faceless video generators stop at "export, ready to upload". This roundup ranks only tools that generate and publish, and flags where a tool's own documentation says the last step is not fully automatic.

Eleven tools are ranked. Syllaby and Crayo come at the end, since neither runs a hands-off series.

How we compared

Each tool was checked on the same points: starting point, visuals, platforms posted to, accounts per plan, pricing, trial or refund, and developer access. Facts come from each vendor's own pages, re-read on October 23, 2026; the first version of this roundup used pages read on September 10. Prices are monthly list prices without limited-time offers, and anything a vendor does not publish is listed as not published. ShortFast is our product, and its entry follows the same format.

At a glance

1. ShortFast

Writes the script and hook, generates a faceless video in one of 27 visual styles or a UGC-style video with an AI presenter, adds a voiceover and captions, and publishes on a daily schedule.

Posts to: TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. 16:9 videos up to 15 minutes post to YouTube as regular videos on Advanced. Visuals: 27 styles. Licensed stock footage from a library of 5 million assets, AI video, or AI images drawn in a fixed art style such as stick figures, cartoon explainer, comic book, anime, whiteboard, 3D animation, claymation, classical painting or Greek statues. A lip-synced AI presenter, one of 5 or a portrait you upload, for UGC-style videos. Pricing: Starter $19 a month for 1,000 credits, 1 automation and 1 social account. Pro $39 for 5,000 credits, 3 automations and 3 social accounts. Advanced $99 for 10,000 credits, 6 automations and 6 social accounts. Typical cost per video: about 12 credits from stock footage, 25 in an AI art style, 464 fully animated, so Starter covers about 80 stock-footage videos or about 2 fully animated ones. Extra credits are $10 per 1,000. 20% off billed yearly. Monthly plans start with a 3-day trial for $1. Best for: choosing per channel between real stock footage and a fixed art style, several accounts on one plan, and a REST API, webhooks and MCP server on every plan, including a free API tier. Watch out for: no free plan in the app, no voice cloning, and fully animated videos use far more credits than footage or stills.

Fewer formats than Revid or Faceless.so; the effort goes into the topic-to-published pipeline.

2. AutoShorts

One of the original faceless "series" tools: pick a content type or write a prompt, and it generates and uploads on a schedule.

Posts to: TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Each series links one channel per platform. Visuals: AI still images per scene in named styles such as Lego, Disney Toon, Minecraft, GTA V and Comic Book, animated with motion credits (27, 62 or 124 a month by plan). No stock footage. Pricing: Starter $19 a month (3 posts a week), Daily $39 (one a day), Hardcore $69 (two a day), now all on its own pricing block; $190, $390 and $690 a year. One series per plan, and an account can only be on one plan type. No refunds; cancel any time. Best for: a single-niche AI-image storytelling channel, especially non-English (30 languages listed) or with voice cloning. Watch out for: the free plan is suspended per its FAQ, a 90-second cap, and videos are deleted from its servers after 120 days.

The main cost is sameness: AI-still videos in a preset style look like other AutoShorts channels.

3. Faceless.video

Pick a niche or format, and it generates a faceless video for each slot of a series and posts it, with trend formats such as memes, AI influencers, POV and Italian brainrot.

Posts to: TikTok, YouTube or Instagram, one account per series. You choose the frequency, not the exact time. Visuals: AI video types including premium VEO and Clone types charged per scene, plus 100+ AI avatars. Stock footage is not mentioned. Pricing: Starter $20 a month for 30 credits, up to 15 videos and 1 social account; Daily $35, Double $59 and Studio $149 with unlimited accounts. Credits roll over while you stay subscribed. Annual billing is advertised as 30% off. The free trial converts to paid unless cancelled; no refunds on monthly plans. Best for: trend formats and many accounts on a $35 plan, driven from ChatGPT or Claude through its MCP server. Watch out for: only 15 videos on the entry plan, and its API portal is behind a login.

The most trend-led tool here.

4. EasyViral

Pick one of 38 niches or a topic, and it generates animated AI videos and posts them on the dates you choose.

Posts to: TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, several channels from one dashboard. Visuals: animated AI scenes in its art styles; a 16:9 Sketch Explainer format up to 10 minutes. Custom voice clones on every plan. Pricing: Creator $9 a month for 1,750 credits, Growth $24.99 for 5,000, Studio $49.99 for 12,000; 20% off yearly. A 60-second video costs 400 credits, so Creator covers about 4 one-minute videos. No free trial, but a full refund within 14 days if no credits were used. Best for: the lowest monthly price for animated AI video, with voice cloning. Watch out for: few videos on the $9 plan, and no API.

Cheapest sticker price in the list.

5. FlowShorts

Pick a niche and a schedule; FlowShorts generates and posts AI-image videos.

Posts to: YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, though one FAQ answer says the number of platforms depends on the plan. Visuals: AI images per scene, 30 to 90 seconds, ElevenLabs voiceover. No stock footage or footage upload. Pricing: Starter $19 a month for 2 videos a week, which it prices at $2.38 a video; Creator $39 for 30 videos ($1.30 each); Pro $69 for 60 ($1.15). Two months free yearly. First video free with no card; no refunds for partial billing periods. Best for: a simple hands-off AI-image channel with a clear per-video price. Watch out for: no editing after generation and no published account limits.

The $39 Creator plan is the real entry point for daily posting.

6. PassiveShorts

A per-series auto-poster for YouTube and TikTok: pick a topic, style, voice and schedule, and it writes, voices, captions and posts.

Posts to: YouTube and TikTok, one of each per series, up to 10 series per account. No Instagram. Visuals: one AI image per script line in 19 named styles, plus TikTok photo slideshows. No stock footage. Pricing: per series. Basic is $19 per series per month, posting three times a week (12 videos). Pro is $39 per series per month, posting daily (31 videos). Yearly, $190 or $390 per series. Cancel within 7 days of your first payment and it refunds the unused share automatically. Best for: a story, joke or tips channel with simple pricing and a review step: it can post as private or send to TikTok drafts. Watch out for: no Instagram, and every extra channel is another full series price.

The refund and the drafts option make it a low-risk way to try a fully automatic series.

7. Shortspilot

A German-run series tool (Chatbyte GmbH, Hamburg) with a timeline editor, now at shortspilot.ai.

Posts to: YouTube Shorts automatically. TikTok is semi-automatic: its FAQ says you confirm each upload from an email link. No Instagram. Visuals: AI video in cinematic, anime and realistic styles, AI photos, image-to-video, Reddit Stories and Fake Chat formats. Pricing: Pilot $18 a month (1 series, 1,500 credits, about 13 videos), Autopilot $38 (2 series), Astronaut $68 (3 series); $14, $29 and $55 a month billed yearly. First Short free with no card; no refunds on subscriptions. Best for: a cheap hands-off YouTube Shorts channel in Reddit-story, fake-chat or anime style. Watch out for: TikTok needs a click per video, one social account per series, and a maximum of 3 series.

Lowest yearly price among the tools that post to YouTube on their own.

8. ShortsBot

A small series auto-poster for TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Posts to: TikTok and YouTube Shorts. No Instagram. Visuals: AI-generated shorts per series; one credit is one video. Pricing: Basic $24.99 a month for 12 videos, 1 series and 1 account; Daily $49.99; Enterprise $79.99. Basic is $119.99 billed yearly. Three free credits with no card, and a 14-day money-back guarantee. Best for: a single TikTok and YouTube channel with a clear video count. Watch out for: no Instagram, and credits do not roll over.

A plain, predictable option if you only need two platforms.

9. Faceless.so

The broadest auto-poster by platform count: pick one of 50 niche prompts or your own, or import a Reddit post.

Posts to: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads and X. A series can post privately to TikTok first for review. Unlimited series on every plan. Visuals: Storyboard shorts (narrated AI stills, 20 credits), Motion shorts (real AI video, 60 credits) and 10-minute videos, with Veo, Kling, Seedance and Wan paid in credits. UGC video from Growth. Pricing: Starter $29 a month for 500 credits (about 25 Storyboard or 8 Motion shorts), Growth $39 and Influencer $69 (shown against struck prices of $59 and $129), Ultra $99, Agency $199. 17% off yearly. No free trial; no refund once credits are used; plan credits stopped rolling over on October 2, 2026. Best for: several channels across many platforms, Reddit imports and team seats. Watch out for: connected-account limits are not published, and API access is listed on Ultra and Agency only.

The widest platform list here, if you actually post to LinkedIn or X.

10. BigMotion

A set-and-forget series generator that posts on a fixed cadence.

Posts to: Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, three times a week or daily depending on settings. Visuals: AI-image scenes in several art styles, plus AI actor and music video tools. Pricing: no longer published. Its /pricing page returns a 404, but the checkout code on its homepage lists first-month prices of $19, $39 and $79 that renew at $39, $89 and $179. Its terms convert a trial into a paid plan unless you cancel 72 hours before it ends, and refund only verified technical failures. Best for: a beginner who wants zero involvement and accepts AI-written scripts as they come. Watch out for: no visible prices, renewal at about double the first month, and income claims on its homepage.

The least transparent tool here. Ask for the renewal price in writing before you pay.

11. Revid

A short-form studio with a timeline editor, a wide AI model menu, and always-on Auto-Mode workers that generate and optionally publish a video a day.

Posts to: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X. Connected accounts per plan are not published. Visuals: stock footage, uploads, AI images and AI video per scene from a range of models, with style presets and voiceovers in 70+ languages. Pricing: Hobby at $39 a month lists no publishing, so autopilot starts at Growth, also $39 (shown against a struck $99), for 2,000 credits and 3 Auto-Mode workers. Ultra is $199. Yearly, $32 and $166 a month. Its own example puts a 30-second video at 40 to 80 credits, about 25 to 50 a month on Growth. Free credits on signup; refunds are discretionary. Best for: choosing AI models per scene, plus developers: REST API, MCP server and CLI. Watch out for: cost per video swings widely with the model, and the Hobby card and FAQ disagree on what Hobby includes.

Pick it if you want to choose models per scene and can manage a credit budget.

Not auto-posters, but searched alongside them

Syllaby is built around a scheduler and content calendar rather than a recurring series: you preview each video, adjust the script and schedule it. Starter is $9 a month, monthly only, for about 7 faceless videos; Basic, Standard and Premium are $29, $78 and $153 a month billed yearly.

Crayo has no publishing at all. It is a browser editor for Reddit-story, fake-text, split-screen and auto-clipped videos, ending at "one-click export, ready to upload". Hobby is $19 a month ($13 billed yearly) for 250 workflow credits and 2 hours of export; Clipper is $39 ($27) and Pro $79 ($55). Its FAQ says it does not offer refunds, and its terms limit use to personal, non-commercial purposes while its FAQ says you can monetize.

Which one should you pick

Real stock footage, or a fixed art style such as stick figures, anime or claymation, picked per channel: ShortFast. Faceless.so and Revid also have stock options.

Lowest monthly bill: EasyViral at $9 for a few animated videos. Cheapest single hands-off AI-image channel on three platforms: FlowShorts at $19. YouTube first, cheapest yearly: Shortspilot at $14 a month billed yearly.

Seven platforms, or Reddit imports: Faceless.so. Trend formats and many accounts on a small plan: Faceless.video. Widest AI model menu: Revid. Non-English voices and voice cloning: AutoShorts or EasyViral.

Developer access: ShortFast on every plan, including a free API tier; Revid from its publishing plan; Faceless.so on Ultra and Agency. Review every video first: Syllaby, or PassiveShorts with drafts posting. Footage to clip: Crayo, then upload yourself.

Whatever you pick, keep it monetizable. YouTube's July 2025 update to the Partner Program renamed "repetitive content" to "inauthentic content" and expanded it to cover mass-produced videos. Use original scripts, vary topic and structure, review the first batch, and do not post the same video to several accounts. A tool that lets you edit or hold a video before publishing is worth more than one that cannot.

Is auto-posting allowed by YouTube, TikTok and Instagram?

Yes, when the tool publishes through the official APIs, which is what every ranked tool here does. TikTok's posting API is stricter: apps must pass an audit before posts can be public, which is why Shortspilot asks you to confirm each upload by email and some tools post privately or to drafts first. Instagram publishing requires a Business or Creator account. The platforms restrict what you post, not the fact that a tool posted it.

Can AI faceless videos be monetized on YouTube?

Yes, if they are original and not mass-produced. YouTube's July 2025 update renamed its repetitive content rule to inauthentic content, which demonetizes near-duplicate, templated uploads with no editorial input. AI-assisted videos with original scripts and deliberate visual choices remain eligible. Review the first batch from any tool and vary topics and structure before you scale.

What is the cheapest faceless video generator that auto-posts?

EasyViral is the lowest monthly price at $9, for about 4 one-minute animated videos. At $18 to $20 a month, Shortspilot, ShortFast, AutoShorts, FlowShorts, PassiveShorts and Faceless.video all post automatically, and ShortFast's 1,000 credits at $19 cover about 80 typical stock-footage videos. BigMotion no longer shows prices; its checkout code lists a $19 first month that renews at $39. Prices checked on October 23, 2026.

Which faceless video tools post to Instagram?

ShortFast, AutoShorts, Faceless.video, EasyViral, FlowShorts, Faceless.so, BigMotion and Revid all publish to Instagram on their auto-posting plans. PassiveShorts, Shortspilot and ShortsBot post to YouTube and TikTok only. Instagram's publishing API requires a Business or Creator account, so convert a personal account before connecting it to any of these tools.

Which faceless video generators have an API?

ShortFast offers a REST API, webhooks and an MCP server on every plan, including a free API tier. Revid has an API, MCP server and CLI. Faceless.so lists API access on its $99 Ultra and $199 Agency plans, and Faceless.video has an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. Crayo has an API but no posting. AutoShorts, EasyViral, FlowShorts, PassiveShorts, Shortspilot, ShortsBot and BigMotion publish no developer access.
