Easyimate / Compare / Vyond
The Vyond alternative that acts out the whole video from your description
Vyond gives you an editor of characters, props and actions: you build each scene, pose the people and sync the voice. Easyimate starts from a description of the situation — it writes the narration, casts flat illustrated characters, acts every scene in time with the words and adds voiceover, music and captions.

Made from a 5-sentence brief: a new hire stuck at her desk, a colleague walks over, they solve it together. 29 seconds, unedited.
Two ways to make a character video
Both give you a 2D animated explainer video with people in it. What changes is how much of it you build by hand.
Vyond
You direct every scene in an editor
- Pick a template or start a blank scene and choose a style.
- Add characters, props and backgrounds, then choose each action and expression.
- Arrange the timing of every scene on the timeline.
- Record a voiceover or generate one, and lip-sync it to the characters.
- Add music and export.
Easyimate
You describe the situation and approve the plan
- Describe what happens, who is in it, the audience, length and format.
- Review the narration, the scene plan and key frames — ask for changes as often as you like.
- Pick a voice and confirm; the characters walk, sit, talk and react on the right words.
- Download the MP4 with music and an SRT caption file, and ask for up to 5 changes.

When Easyimate is the better fit
- You want a finished character video from a situation, not a scene to build.
- Posing characters and syncing voices is what slows you down.
- You make short training, onboarding or social videos and pay per seat today.
- You need the same video in several languages, or a vertical 9:16 version.
- You also need other looks — whiteboard, charts, maps — without another tool.
When Vyond may suit you better
- You want to choose every pose, prop and camera move yourself.
- You need single videos longer than 10 minutes.
- You need lifelike presenter avatars or lip-sync to your own recording.
- Your team relies on shared libraries, brand management and review workflows there.
Switching takes one brief
There's nothing to import. Take a scenario you'd normally build scene by scene and try it this way.
Describe the situation
Who is in it, what happens, the audience, length and format — a few sentences is enough.
Approve the plan
Every line comes with what its scene shows, plus a few key frames. Ask for changes to wording, characters or whole scenes — free, as often as you like.
Get the video
Pick a voice and confirm. We email you when it's ready; download the MP4 plus an SRT file.
Questions
Is Easyimate a good alternative to Vyond?
If you use Vyond to make workplace scenarios, training, onboarding or customer explainers with characters, Easyimate does the same job without the editor: you describe the situation, it writes the narration, casts flat illustrated characters, acts each scene to the words and adds voiceover, music and captions. If you want to pose every character and prop yourself on a timeline, or need videos longer than 10 minutes, Vyond gives you more manual control.
How is Easyimate priced compared with Vyond?
Easyimate charges for the minutes of video you make: Starter is $19 a month for 15 minutes, and extra time starts at $2.99 a minute and never expires. Voiceover, music and captions are included. On October 27, 2026 Vyond's pricing page listed Starter at $99 a month billed monthly, or $58 a month billed yearly ($699 a year), for one user.
What kind of characters can Easyimate animate?
Friendly flat 2D people with simple faces: different skin tones, face shapes, hair and builds, 25 ready jobs such as doctor, nurse, chef, police officer, builder and teacher, plus children and teens. They stand, walk, sit at desks, talk, point, wave, think and cheer in time with the narration. They are not lifelike 3D avatars.
Can the characters speak in different voices?
Yes. When the story has characters with their own lines, each speaking character gets a voice of its own, different from the narrator. Narration can be in 31 languages. See videos in other languages.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. New accounts get 1 free video up to 2 minutes after email verification, in 720p with a small watermark. No credit card is needed.
