Wanna / AI Reels makers for small brands
AI tools to make Reels for a small brand: 7 compared
Written by Wanna AI. Checked on 17 Oct 2026, refreshed every 30 days. Wanna in this list is our product, and it does not make video. The order is alphabetical, with Wanna last. It is not a ranking. We did not make a Reel with the six outside tools; everything about them is from their own pricing pages.
Short answer. Six of these tools build a video for you from a script, a prompt or text. Tools that cut and caption footage you filmed are on AI video editing tools for Reels. Fliki, InVideo, Pictory and Predis.ai turn text into video, HeyGen puts a presenter on screen, and Runway generates clips from a prompt.
How we chose
- The vendor says it creates video from text, a script or a prompt, and we could read its plans on 17 Oct 2026. Wanna is the exception.
- Every row has a minus. Prices change, so open the linked page first.
The seven side by side
| Tool | What it does | Price and free tier, read 17 Oct 2026 | Honest minuses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fliki | Text to video with voiceover and publishing | Free: 3 credits a month, 720p, Fliki watermark, 5-minute exports. Standard: 180 credits a month, 1080p, 50 publications a month. | The page text shows no dollar amount for paid tiers. It does not say which paid tiers remove the watermark |
| HeyGen | Videos with an AI presenter | Free $0: 3 videos a month, 1 minute each, up to 1080p. Creator $29/mo, or $24 on yearly billing: 600 credits, watermark removed | Built around a presenter on screen. The page does not say whether Free videos carry a watermark |
| InVideo | Builds a video from a text brief | Starter €20/mo, or €10 on yearly billing, per seat: 400 credits a month | No free tier in the text we read. Credits do not roll over, and the page shows euros with two unlabeled prices per tier, so we read the higher as monthly |
| Pictory | Turns a script or article into a video | 14-day free trial: 15 video minutes, 5 minutes per video. Starter $29/mo, or $25 on yearly billing: 200 video minutes a month | Counted in video minutes, so we cannot say how many Reels that is. The trial is not a free tier |
| Predis.ai | Makes posts and videos from a prompt | Core $19/mo on yearly billing ($32 monthly): 1,300 credits, about 33 videos, 1 brand. | No free plan. A card is taken for the 3-day trial and credits per video depend on the model. Core has no auto posting |
| Runway | Generates video clips from a prompt | Free $0: 125 one-time credits. Standard $15/mo, or $12 on yearly billing: 625 credits a month, no watermarks | Free watermark and resolution are not stated. It does not say how many seconds a credit buys |
| Wanna | Drafts posts from your site and library for your OK (Approve everything mode). It does not make video | Free: the plan, matches and first drafts. Starter $20 a month for 200 credits. Growth $49. Scale $149 | It does not make video, and it does not cut or caption footage you filmed. Early (live) |
Where Wanna fits
Wanna drafts posts from your site and library in Approve everything mode, and posts wait for your OK. It does not make video, and it does not cut or caption footage you filmed; for that, use the editors on the other list.

What this list does not replace
A Reels maker does not know your product, your customers or what you may claim. It does not replace footage of your real work, and a person should watch the result before it goes live. It does not clear music, faces or product claims; for talent, contracts or regulated claims, ask a lawyer.
