Descript Alternatives
Other options in the same category as Descript (Video Generation), sorted by free plan and Chinese support:
Chinese support: Not supported
For cinema-grade AI video needs: try the one-time 125 free points first to test quality, then Standard at US$12/month billed annually if you're serious. But the all-English interface is a real drawback — anyone who can't work with English at all should consider another tool.
Chinese support: Full support
Chinese-speaking users creating AI videos: try for free with daily login points, Standard plan has a low threshold of US$10/month. However, users must assess the risk of data export themselves. The Ultra plan not having annual payment is a drawback. The first-month discount has no expiration date, so don't wait if you see it.
Chinese support: Not supported
For fun short-form videos and social effects: try the free tier's 80 points/month first. For steady output: Standard billed annually at US$8/month is the best value. But the free tier's 480p-with-watermark is only good as a demo — serious use requires paying.
Chinese support: Partial support
Create courses, marketing videos, and educational training: The free version allows you to create 3 trial videos to test the quality. For individual creators, the Creator plan at US$29/month is sufficient, but if you need 4K, you'll need the Pro plan at US$49. For team use, note that each additional seat incurs an extra fee, so calculate carefully before subscribing.
Chinese support: Full support
For everyday editing, subtitles, and background removal: the free version's basic features are enough. If you need advanced AI features and 4K, Standard gets you in for about US$10/month. But the lack of price transparency is a real weak point — before subscribing, always confirm in-app exactly how much you'll actually be charged.
Chinese support: Partial support
For corporate training or multilingual teaching videos, it's a mature choice — I'd recommend going straight to annual billing to save over 30%. If you're an individual just messing around occasionally, the free 10 minutes is enough — the watermark and quota aren't suited to serious production. Before ordering, you should confirm the avatar count on the official site yourself — that field is something we still haven't fully pinned down.
Chinese support: Partial support
Light editing, subtitles, translation — Creator at US$12 is enough. Need brand kits and bulk AI video — go up to Pro. But because the official pricing page has long been unreliable to scrape, check what the official site shows at the time before subscribing — don't just trust the aggregator's numbers.
Chinese support: Not supported
If you're making product explainers or business shorts, use the free 15 minutes first to verify output quality. For individuals or solo creators, Pro at US$49 billed annually is more worthwhile; only teams need Ultra. If you care about Chinese support or the fact the data has been wrong before, be sure to check usevelo.ai's official site yourself before subscribing.
Chinese support: Not supported
Developers running open-source generation models: Pay-as-you-go is the most flexible, with FLUX Dev at US$0.025/image being very cheap. However, there is no free version, so it's recommended to test with a small amount before subscribing. Private models are also charged when idle, so remember to turn them off after use.
Chinese support: Partial support
Just want to see what an AI edit looks like: the free plan is enough, but remember to grab your files within 3 days. If you actually want to go from editing to publishing: the free plan can't edit or publish, meaning you'll definitely have to upgrade.
Chinese support: Not supported
For playing around and making animations just for yourself: the free tier works, but you have to accept the watermark. For commercial use or no watermark: the free tier explicitly bans commercial use, so you must pay. Note that bonus credits expire in 7–31 days, so use them as soon as you get them.
Chinese support: Partial support

先等一下——Descript 也不是沒有優點
If you edit occasionally and can live with 720p, the free tier's lack of a watermark makes it a great deal. If you edit more than 60 minutes/month or need 4K, you have to upgrade to Hobbyist at US$24. But note the annual plan is a one-time US$192 payment — if you only edit intensively for three or four months a year, paying monthly is actually cheaper.
