What is the best alternative to Invideo for making AI videos in ChatGPT?
Generated video in ChatGPT, paid per video, not per seat.
Creative Claw is a ChatGPT app and a pay-as-you-go alternative to Invideo: it generates video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, and MiniMax H3 Max, adds ElevenLabs or Cartesia voiceovers, clones your voice, and captions the result, with no subscription. Invideo’s ChatGPT plugin turns a prompt into a video with script, visuals, voiceover and music, and its paid plans start at $20 per seat a month, with Seedance 2.5 from the Plus plan.

Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Invideo for making AI videos in ChatGPT?
Creative Claw, if you want generated footage and to pay per video instead of per seat: several video models, voiceover, voice cloning, and captions in one ChatGPT app. OpenArt, VEED and Descript also have ChatGPT plugins.
Is Creative Claw cheaper than Invideo?
It is cheaper to start: no subscription, 100 free credits, and $10 for 1,000 credits. Invideo’s cheapest paid plan is $20 per seat a month, and Seedance 2.5 needs Plus at $50 per seat billed annually or $60 monthly. If you use a full Invideo plan every month, its per-second price can be lower.
How much does a second of Seedance 2.5 cost in each?
In Creative Claw, a five-second Seedance 2.5 clip at 720p costs 267 credits ($2.67), about $0.53 per second, and cheaper models start at about $0.08 per second with MiniMax H3 Max Fast. Invideo lists Seedance 2.5 at about 50 credits per five seconds at 1080p, roughly $0.25 per second on Plus billed annually.
Does Invideo’s ChatGPT plugin generate footage or use stock?
Its plugin listing describes turning a prompt into a video with script, visuals, voiceover and music. Creative Claw generates each shot with a video model, which keeps your product and characters consistent across shots.
Can I clone my voice in Invideo or Creative Claw?
Invideo offers voice cloning on invideo.io from a short sample. Creative Claw clones your voice inside ChatGPT with Cartesia or ElevenLabs on pay-as-you-go credits; see our voice cloning guide.
Does Creative Claw charge per seat?
No. Creative Claw has no plan or seats; you buy credits and pay per generation. Invideo’s team and business plans are priced per seat.
Can ChatGPT make videos without a plugin?
No. OpenAI discontinued Sora in 2026, and ChatGPT has no built-in video generator, so video in ChatGPT comes from plugins such as Creative Claw or Invideo.
Can I use both Invideo and Creative Claw in ChatGPT?
Yes. They are separate plugins. Install both and compare them on the same brief.
