The best AutoShorts alternative depends on who you want doing the posting. For a channel that runs on a schedule, look at Faceless.video, Reelsta or Revid. BlitzReels doesn't auto-post on a recurring schedule: it fits when you want to direct each faceless video, pick its models and edit it on a timeline.

## 6 AutoShorts alternatives, sorted by how much they post for you

1. **BlitzReels**: Directing each faceless video by hand, or clipping long videos. It doesn't post on a recurring schedule. You start each video from a topic or script, choose stills or AI motion, then edit it on a timeline. Starter is $29 a month or $204 billed yearly, with 250 credits, which covers about 5 30-second videos with stills.
2. **Faceless.video**: A scheduled channel where unused credits carry over. It makes drafts on a schedule that you can edit or let post. Starter is $20 a month for up to 15 videos and 1 social account; Daily is $35 for up to 30. Unused credits roll over. Its FAQ says you set how often videos post, but not the exact time.
3. **Reelsta**: AutoShorts' posting rates at the same prices, during its fall offer. It posts to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. A fall offer shows Hobby at $19 a month for 3 videos a week (list $27), Daily at $39 (list $56) and Pro at $69 for 2 a day (list $99). Check whether the offer still runs when you buy.
4. **Revid**: Automation plus a timeline editor and an API. Growth is $39 a month, or $32 billed yearly, with 2,000 AI credits. It includes 3 Auto-Mode workers, each making one video a day, and can publish to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and X. Revid also lists a timeline editor, REST API, MCP server and CLI.
5. **invideo**: Prompt-to-video with a timeline, posted by you. Starter is $20 a month, or $10 billed annually, with 400 credits, and Plus and Max add more. Its pricing lists a timeline editor. Its homepage and pricing page mention no auto-posting on the day we read them, so plan on posting yourself.
6. **Crayo**: Reddit story and fake text formats, posted by you. Hobby is $29 a month, or $19 billed quarterly ($57), with 250 workflow credits, one per generated video. Unused credits don't roll over and it offers no refunds. Its homepage and pricing page mention no auto-posting on the day we read them.

## Quick Decision

- Pick AutoShorts when: You want a channel that keeps posting without you. You've picked one topic, and short videos with mostly still images are enough. Starter was $19 a month on November 4, 2026.
- Pick BlitzReels when: You want to make each video yourself: choose its models, edit it on a timeline and post when it's ready. It costs more per video and won't post on a recurring schedule.
- Best next step: Write down how many videos you'll check before they go out each week. If the answer is few, compare the tools that auto-post. If it's all of them, a schedule saves you little, and per-video control matters more.

## Competitor Summary

AutoShorts.ai is a faceless video generator that creates short videos from a topic or prompt and posts them to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram on a schedule.

## BlitzReels Advantages

- Nothing goes out unless you publish or schedule it, so there's no post deadline to beat.
- You choose the image model, the video model and stills or motion for each video.
- Each video opens on a timeline for trims, splits and captions, with 10 caption looks.
- The same account turns long videos into short clips, which AutoShorts doesn't do.
- REST API, SDK, CLI and MCP come with every paid plan. AutoShorts' FAQ, pricing and guides list no API.

## Competitor Limitations

- Scheduled videos don't wait for you. AutoShorts' guide, reviewed October 22, 2026, says review is optional and a video can publish without an approval click. Pausing a Series doesn't recall an upload already sent to a platform.
- Length stops at 90 seconds, with script edits capped at 1,600 characters. The FAQ says a long-form feature is in the works but not available.
- Scenes are still images by default. Motion credits animate them: 27 a month on Starter, 62 on Daily and 124 on Hardcore. Extra credits are sold separately.
- There are no refunds, per the FAQ, and the free plan is suspended because of bots and spam. The homepage button still says to try it free with no card, but its guide says video creation needs a paid plan.
- Past videos can be downloaded for up to 120 days, then they're removed. Deleting a Series deletes its videos as well.
- The FAQ warns that new accounts posting right away can be treated as bots and shown to few people. It advises warming up an account for at least 48 hours and starting with one post a day.

BlitzReels fits when you plan to direct each video and pay more for that control: $564 a year on Growth against about $190 on AutoShorts Starter for three videos a week.

## FAQ

### What is the best AutoShorts alternative?

It depends on who you want doing the posting. As of November 4, 2026, Faceless.video, Reelsta and Revid all create and post on a schedule. BlitzReels and invideo fit if you want to shape each video yourself on a timeline, and neither lists recurring auto-posting.

### AutoShorts AI pricing: how much does it cost?

On November 4, 2026, Starter was $19 a month for 3 posts a week, Daily $39 for one a day and Hardcore $69 for two a day. Billed yearly, they were $16, $33 and $58 a month. An extra Series raises the price, and there are no refunds.

### Where is the AutoShorts pricing page?

It's a section of the homepage, at autoshorts.ai/#pricing. The site's Pricing link goes there, and autoshorts.ai/pricing returned a 404 on November 4, 2026. That section lists Free, Starter, Daily and Hardcore, with a switch for monthly or yearly billing.

### Is AutoShorts free?

Not at the moment. On November 4, 2026, its pricing marked the free plan as temporarily paused, and its FAQ says it was suspended because of bots and spam. It lists one video and no auto-posting. The homepage button still says to try it free, but a guide says creating videos needs a paid plan.

### AutoShorts AI review: is it worth paying for?

That depends on how much you want to check each video. We didn't run AutoShorts, so this isn't a hands-on review. On public facts, it suits one topic at a steady rate. Before paying, note the 90-second limit, the stills by default, and that scheduled videos post without an approval click.

### Does AutoShorts post without my approval?

Yes, it can. AutoShorts' guide, reviewed October 22, 2026, says review is optional and scheduled videos don't wait for an approval click. You can preview and edit upcoming videos, or pause the Series first. A pause doesn't recall a video already sent to TikTok, YouTube or Instagram.

### Can AutoShorts make long videos?

No. Its FAQ says it focuses on short videos up to 90 seconds and that a long-form feature isn't available yet. You choose 30 to 60 or 60 to 90 seconds when you set up a Series, and you can edit a script up to 1,600 characters. This was read on November 4, 2026.

### Can BlitzReels auto-post faceless videos?

No. As of November 4, 2026, BlitzReels doesn't create or post faceless videos on a recurring schedule. You start each video, then post it. Post to YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn from Starter; schedule from Growth. Instagram access is allowlisted. You could script a loop with the API and your own scheduler, but you'd run it yourself.

### What does a faceless video cost in BlitzReels?

It's paid in credits. We estimate about 48 credits for 30 seconds with stills, 93 for 60 seconds and 174 for 30 seconds with the app's default motion model. Starter has 250 credits, Growth 750 and Agency 2,000. Daily 30-second videos with stills would need about 1,443 a month. These are estimates, not bills.
