ShortsFast (shortsfast.com) and ShortFast (shortfast.com) are two different products, despite names one letter apart: ShortFast is made by SachaSoft LLC, and ShortsFast by a separate company. Both turn a niche or topic into faceless short videos that post on a schedule; ShortsFast posts to YouTube Shorts and TikTok, and ShortFast to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
ShortFast (shortfast.com) is our product, made by SachaSoft LLC, and ShortsFast (shortsfast.com) is a different product made by a separate company, so here is where ShortsFast is the better pick and where we are. Both turn a niche or topic into faceless short videos that post on a schedule: ShortsFast suits a fixed 10 or 30 videos a month for YouTube Shorts and TikTok, and ShortFast suits creators who also want Instagram Reels, licensed stock footage or one of 27 styles, UGC-style videos with AI actors, or a yearly plan at $15 a month.
ShortsFast is the better pick if you would rather count videos than credits. Starter is $29 a month for 10 videos in one series, posting 3 days a week; Pro is $49 for 30 videos across up to three series, posting every day. Both plans include YouTube Shorts and TikTok publishing on a single schedule, while ShortFast's $29 Starter connects one social account. Its refund policy gives a full refund if you ask within 7 calendar days of your first payment.
ShortFast is the better pick if you need Instagram Reels, which ShortsFast's pages say is not supported; if you want licensed stock footage, a fixed art style such as stick figures or claymation, or UGC-style videos with AI actors; or if you want to edit captions, B-roll or music after a video is made (as of November 4, 2026, ShortsFast's blog says its finished videos cannot currently be edited). Neither has a free plan: ShortsFast's pages say it has no free tier and list no free trial, and every ShortFast monthly plan starts with a 3-day trial for $1.

The names are one letter apart, so they are easy to mix up. ShortFast, at shortfast.com, is made by SachaSoft LLC, and it is the product this site is about. ShortsFast, at shortsfast.com, is a different product from a separate company. Its terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, and its privacy policy says your data is stored on servers in the Netherlands.
Accounts, billing and support are separate too. If you signed up for ShortsFast and need help with a series, a payment or a refund, contact ShortsFast through shortsfast.com: ShortFast can't see or change ShortsFast accounts.
ShortsFast is built around one job: a recurring faceless series for YouTube Shorts and TikTok. You pick a niche and describe what to say, choose a visual style and a voice once, connect your channels and set a schedule. It then writes the scripts, voices them, generates the videos and publishes them. Its homepage shows visual styles such as Pixel Art and Cyberpunk and lists 6 AI voices on both plans.
Its plans count finished videos, not credits, so you know the monthly output before you pay, and both include YouTube Shorts and TikTok publishing with no watermark. There is no free tier or trial; instead, its refund policy gives a full refund if you ask within 7 calendar days of your first payment, once per account.
ShortFast fits when you need Instagram Reels or a particular look. It writes the script and hook from a topic, or uses a script you write or paste, and generates a faceless video in one of 27 styles: licensed documentary stock footage, AI video, or AI images in a fixed art style such as stick figures, whiteboard, comic book, anime, claymation or Greek statues. It also makes UGC-style ads with AI actors. Every video gets a voiceover from 40+ voices and burned-in, word-by-word captions, auto-detected in 60+ languages.
After a video is made, you can edit its captions, B-roll, music, title and post text, or swap your own clips into any scene, then re-render; an edited script can't be re-voiced. Each automation follows a series brief of up to 500 characters, writes the next episode for every posting slot, and posts it to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts through the platforms' official APIs, or emails you the video. The same video and one caption go to every platform.
On November 4, 2026, ShortsFast listed Starter at $29 a month for 10 videos and Pro at $49 for 30, billed monthly, with no yearly price. ShortFast's Starter is $29 a month, or $15 billed yearly, for 2,000 credits: about 80 one-minute stock-footage or 50 AI art-style videos, so a new one-minute art-style short every day comes to about 1,110 credits a month, inside Starter's 2,000. Two caveats: ShortFast's Starter connects one social account, so posting to all three platforms takes Pro, at $39 for 5,000 credits and three accounts; and a fully animated minute uses about 440 credits.
Whichever you choose, a channel that posts every day lives under the platforms' rules. YouTube's monetization policies say channels where content “feels interchangeable from video to video” are not allowed to 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.
