Shortfy (shortfy.io) and ShortFast (shortfast.com) are different products from different companies: Shortfy comes from a company of the same name established in the United Arab Emirates, ShortFast from SachaSoft LLC. Shortfy generates AI videos and images with the model you pick, plus voiceovers and subtitles; ShortFast writes, renders and posts faceless shorts on a schedule.
ShortFast is our product, made by SachaSoft LLC; Shortfy is a different product from a different company, which its legal notice names as Shortfy, established in the United Arab Emirates. Pick Shortfy if you want to make each video yourself with a model you choose, such as Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.5, then add a voice and animated subtitles and export it; pick ShortFast if you want faceless shorts written, voiced, captioned and posted to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts for you, on a schedule.
The names are close, but the products overlap less than they sound. Shortfy's homepage sums it up as “All the AI tools you need, in one place”: video, image, voiceover, script and subtitle generation, with a choice of models and a connection to Claude. ShortFast is a pipeline: it starts from a topic, writes the script and hook, renders the video in one of 27 styles, and its automations write the next episode for every posting slot and post it or email it to you. Shortfy's FAQ describes exporting each video ready to publish; its site doesn't mention scheduled posting.
ShortFast's plans are $29, $39 and $99 a month, and every monthly plan starts with a 3-day trial for $1; there's no free plan. Shortfy's site didn't publish prices when we checked on October 24, 2026: its terms say it runs on credits, that some features need a paid subscription, and that prices are the ones shown at purchase. If you were looking for Shortfy itself, it's at shortfy.io.

The names are close enough to mix up, but Shortfy and ShortFast are separate products. Shortfy lives at shortfy.io, with its app at app.shortfy.io; its legal notice, last updated October 1, 2026, names the publisher as Shortfy, a company established in the United Arab Emirates, and says its payments are processed by Whop. ShortFast lives at shortfast.com and is made by SachaSoft LLC.
Shortfy's strength is choice. Its homepage lists eight image and video models, among them Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 and GPT Image 2.5, and you pick the one that matches the style you want. Next to the video generator sit an AI image generator and automatic animated subtitles, and its legal notice adds voice generation, audio processing, rendering and editing. You make each video step by step: generate it, add a voice and subtitles, then export it.
It also works inside Claude. Connect Shortfy and you can ask Claude for an image, a video, a voiceover, subtitles or a script; its homepage says Claude picks the right model and the images and videos appear in the conversation, ready to download. If you already work in Claude and want media on demand, that's a real convenience.
ShortFast fits when you want a steady series rather than one video at a time. From a topic, it writes the script and hook and renders a faceless video in one of 27 styles, with a voiceover and burned-in captions; it also makes UGC-style videos with AI actors.
Each automation follows a series brief of up to 500 characters and writes the next episode for every posting slot: a new topic, script, title, description and footage, in the same tone, format and length, with recent titles checked. It posts the video to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts on the schedule you set, or emails it to you, with no approval step.
Automated channels live under the platforms' rules. YouTube's monetization policies, under “Generic or Repetitive Content”, say channels where content “feels interchangeable from video to video” can't monetize, and its spam policy covers “using automated tools or AI to churn out high volumes of similar content with minimal changes”. TikTok requires a label on realistic AI-generated content. Vary your topics, and check the first videos of any automated series.
A ShortFast one-minute stock-footage video uses about 24 credits and an AI art-style one about 37, so Starter's 2,000 credits, at $29 a month or $15 billed yearly, cover about 80 or 50 videos a month. Extra credits are $10 per 1,000. There's no free plan; every monthly plan starts with a 3-day trial for $1.
Shortfy runs on credits too. Per its terms, what a generation costs depends on the model, the type of generation, its length, resolution and quality, and the cost is shown before or when you start; subscription credits don't carry over, and top-up packs may be offered. Its site listed no plan prices on October 24, 2026. The two companies' credits don't convert, so price a video you'd actually publish on each.
