The paid plans start from 9.99$ upto $300 a month and they include loads of features such as singing voices, AI-generated raps, API access etc. Check the full details of pricing here

Eleven Labs

This is my favorite one right now and they have a free trial for 10,000 characters per month. That’s more than enough if you create only a few short videos a month. The pronunciation and flow of conversation is very close to human and does not feel artificial at all. Out of all the pre made voices available, Bella is my favorite one and you can also create your own custom ones. It’s still in beta mode and yet it is so good.

Murf.Ai

With Murf you can Text to speech, voice changer, voice cloning using real voices and assisted by AI technology to make your audios sound as natural as possible. You can try out their free plan which gives you access to 120+ voices, and can generate 10 mins of audio, but unfortunately, you can’t download them for use so this plan is just for you to test out their software and if you like what you get you can upgrade to one of their three paid plans. The Basic plan starts at 19$ per month, the Pro is $26 and the Enterprise is $59. All the paid plans give you commercial license and unlimited downloads.

AI Tools to generate Scripts

ChatGPT

Of course, you probably already know this one that started the AI wave that’s taking the world by storm. Besides getting answers to your questions you can also use it to generate scripts for your video. It’s good to structure it with intros, chapters and conclusions.

Jasper.AI

Jasper is an AI platform not just for writing but also for creating image thumbnails for the videos and they also have other tools such as Surfer SEO. So if you also have a blog then this can be an all-in-one tool for you. It doesn’t have a free plan but you can try their plans for free. The starter starts at 24$ per month, Boss mode is at $49 and the business plan is custom.

AI Image Thumbnail Creator

Canva

It’s not exactly AI but it has a lot of templates and you can have a video thumbnail ready in minutes, plus they have a forever-free plan and personally, in my experience, it is good enough (with an option to upgrade to premium).

MidJourney

Using MidJourney you can get amazing, interesting images that will get people to click on your video. Once you have an image you like, head over to Simplified and create the thumbnail using the pic and some text. The only downside in my experience is that there are no more free trials (even for new members) and you have to use it through Discord.

Dall-E 2

If you want something free but that’s also good (trust me there are quite a few free AI image generators out there that are not worth your time) then Dall-E 2 is the one for you. They do have a limit though to how many times you can use it a month, so use economically. It can be quite good if you know how to use prompts properly.

There you have it, a collection of some of the best AI tools to help you make awesome amazing videos for Youtube, social media, or for presentations. If there is a tool that I missed then comment below and I’ll add it.
