Video, voice and captions in one ChatGPT app.
Creative Claw is a ChatGPT app and a pay-as-you-go alternative to OpenArt: it generates video with Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni, and MiniMax H3 Max, and also adds ElevenLabs or Cartesia voiceovers, clones your voice, captions and assembles the result in the same chat, with no subscription.

Before you render
What should I check before rendering?
Volume pricing can favor OpenArt
OpenArt’s Starter plan includes 4,000 credits a month, which it equates to about 50 videos. If you make that many every month, a plan can cost less per video than paying per generation.
Commercial use terms differ by plan
OpenArt’s pricing page lists commercial use rights from its Plus plan, while its help center describes broader commercial use. Check its current terms for your plan.

Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to OpenArt for making AI videos in ChatGPT?
Creative Claw, if you want a finished video in the same chat: several video models plus voiceover, voice cloning, captions and assembly in one ChatGPT app, paid per generation. Higgsfield, Runway and PixVerse also have ChatGPT apps.
Is Creative Claw cheaper than OpenArt?
It is cheaper to start: no subscription, 100 free credits, and $10 for 1,000 credits. OpenArt offers 40 trial credits and paid plans from $13 a month billed annually for 4,000 credits, about 50 videos by its own estimate, so OpenArt can cost less per video if you use a full plan every month.
Do both have Seedance 2.5 in ChatGPT?
Yes. Both plugins list Seedance 2.5 and Gemini Omni. In Creative Claw, a five-second Seedance 2.5 clip at 720p costs 267 credits ($2.67) and a five-second Gemini Omni Flash clip costs 130 credits ($1.30).
Can I keep the same character across scenes?
In Creative Claw, save the character as a Character and reuse it in ChatGPT, or render several scenes in one MiniMax H3 Max generation. OpenArt says its Character and Smart Shot features are not yet available through its ChatGPT plugin.
Can I clone my voice in OpenArt or Creative Claw?
OpenArt has a Voice Clone tool on openart.ai that takes a 5–15 second sample and costs 80 credits per generation. Creative Claw clones your voice inside ChatGPT with Cartesia or ElevenLabs and uses it for narration; see our voice cloning guide.
Can I use OpenArt videos commercially?
OpenArt’s pricing page lists commercial use rights from its Plus plan, while its help center describes commercial use more broadly. Check OpenArt’s current terms for your plan.
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 OpenArt.
Can I use both OpenArt and Creative Claw in ChatGPT?
Yes. They are separate plugins. Install both and compare them on the same brief.
