InVideo AI Alternatives in 2026 for Small Shops in Singapore and Malaysia
Short answer
InVideo AI is a good fit if you start from a written prompt or script and want a full video built from stock footage and AI models. If you run a shop and just need a short video about a product, a service or this week's offer, or you want to try something before paying monthly, there are other options. Below are five, what each is good for, and what they cost as of 18 October 2026.
When InVideo AI is enough, and when it isn't
InVideo AI suits you if you already know what you want to say, you are happy to write or edit a script, and you will use it often enough to justify a monthly plan.
You may want another tool if:
- You don't want to write a script and would rather start from your shop and product details.
- You want to try a few videos first. InVideo's pricing page lists paid plans only (Starter, Plus and Max); it does not show a free plan.
- You post now and then, not every week. InVideo's pricing FAQ says unused credits don't roll over to the next month.
InVideo AI prices for reference (checked 18 October 2026)
- Starter: US$20 a seat a month, or US$10 a month billed yearly, with 400 credits a month.
- Plus: US$60 a month, or US$30 billed yearly, with 2,000 credits a month.
- Max: US$150 a month, or US$75 billed yearly, with 5,000 credits a month.
- Different AI models use credits at different rates, and the Seedance video models are not included in Starter.

Five alternatives
1. Pictory
Best for: turning a script, a blog post or a URL into a video with stock footage and AI voiceover. This is the closest to how InVideo is used. Free plan: yes. The pricing page lists 15 video minutes, videos up to 5 minutes, and 720p export. Paid: Starter from US$25 a month, billed yearly (pricing page, 18 October 2026). The page lists "No watermark" as a Starter feature. Keep in mind: it is still built around a script, so you need to know what you want to say.
2. CapCut
Best for: people who are happy to edit their own clips and want templates, auto captions and effects for TikTok and Reels. Free plan: yes. Paid: CapCut Pro. CapCut says the price depends on your region, device and promotions, so check the upgrade screen in the app for your local price. Keep in mind: you edit the video yourself.
3. Canva
Best for: people who already design their own posters and want to drag clips and text into a template. Free plan: yes, with up to 20 Standard or Premium AI uses (checked 18 October 2026). Paid: Pro S$165 a year in Singapore, RM250 a year in Malaysia (checked 18 October 2026). Keep in mind: you arrange the scenes yourself.
4. Pippit
Best for: online sellers turning product links and product photos into ads. Paid: iOS in-app Starter from S$19.00 or RM60.90 a month (checked 15 October 2026). Keep in mind: it focuses on e-commerce listings and ads.
5. ThinkNova
Best for: small shops that want a 15-second shop video or a poster without writing a script, in several languages, including English, Chinese, Malay and Thai (check the tool for the current list). How it goes: you pick your trade, add product or service details or photos, choose the output language, and ThinkNova writes the script and makes a 15-second vertical video or a poster. Price: 100 free credits when you sign up. Top-ups start at US$6, and you don't need a subscription. Keep in mind: it makes short shop videos, not long edited films.

FAQ
Is there a free alternative to InVideo AI?
Pictory has a free plan with 15 video minutes and 720p export, and CapCut and Canva both have free plans. ThinkNova gives 100 free credits when you sign up, with no subscription. InVideo's own pricing page lists paid plans only.
Is there an InVideo alternative without a watermark?
It depends on the plan. Pictory lists "No watermark" as a feature of its paid Starter plan. Check each tool's current plan page before you decide.
Which option is closest to InVideo AI?
Pictory, because both turn a script or written text into a video with stock footage and AI voiceover. If you would rather not write a script, a tool that starts from your shop and product details, such as ThinkNova, needs less writing.
Can I make the same video in Malay or Chinese?
With an editor such as CapCut or Canva, you make each language version yourself. ThinkNova can produce the video in several languages, including English, Chinese, Malay and Thai (check the tool for the current list), from the same details. Have someone who speaks the language check the final wording before you post.
