Zebracat AI

Zebracat starts from a question most video tools skip: what do you already have? Not a script, necessarily, and not footage. A blog post. A podcast episode. A website. A single sentence describing an idea. All of those are accepted as the starting point, and what comes back is an edited short-form video aimed at TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. If your problem is that you publish in text or audio and cannot keep up with video, that is exactly the gap this fills. If your problem is that you have hours of recorded footage nobody has cut, this is the wrong direction entirely.

What you can feed it

Five input types are supported. A text prompt describing what you want. A finished script. A blog URL, which pulls an article and builds video from its structure. A website URL, used to work out what your content should be about. And an audio file, which repurposes a podcast or a voice recording into something watchable. That last one is genuinely useful and not common: a podcaster with no video presence gets a route to social video that does not involve buying a camera.

What comes out

The output is an assembled video rather than a pile of assets. The AI scene generator produces backgrounds and video scenes, smart cuts and transitions handle the assembly, captions are auto-generated and remain editable, and a background music library sits behind it. AI avatars are available with customisable appearance, voice cloning keeps narration consistent across a series, and translation covers more than 25 languages with lip-sync adaptation. Brand kits hold your styling, with one on the entry tier, five on Super Cat and no limit on Unlimited Cat. Finished videos can be scheduled across channels from inside the platform.

Language coverage is layered: more than 80 languages for standard voices, more than 175 across the AI voice range, and 25-plus for translation. Which of those numbers matters depends on whether you are narrating in another language or translating an existing narration.

How the plans are counted

Zebracat prices in finished videos per month, which is a meaningfully different model from the credit balances used by most of this category. You do not need to know what a model costs per second to work out what you are buying. There is also a separate pool of generative AI credits for the AI-generated scenes, at 350 per month on Cat Mode, 1,400 on Super Cat and 3,600 on Unlimited Cat, so the two meters cover different parts of the job.

Plans, checked August 2026

The free plan requires no credit card and allows up to 5 videos in total, capped at 30 seconds each, at 720p with standard AI voices. Cat Mode is 39 dollars per month, or 19 per month billed annually, and covers 15 videos per month of any length, 350 generative AI credits, the public avatar library, standard AI voices across 175-plus languages, basic stock clips and music, one brand kit, 1080p export, watermark removal, faster processing and commercial rights. Super Cat is 99 dollars per month, or 49 annually, raising this to 40 videos, 1,400 credits, 5 custom avatars and 5 voice clones per month, more than 120 premium avatars, premium voices, video translation across 25-plus languages, the full stock and music library and five brand kits. Unlimited Cat is 199 dollars per month, or 99 annually, with unlimited videos, 3,600 credits, 10 custom avatars and 10 voice clones per month, unlimited brand kits and priority support. Enterprise starts at 599 dollars per month and adds API access, custom AI models, advanced team permissions and a dedicated success manager. Paid plans carry a 7-day money-back guarantee that holds as long as no video has been downloaded.

Who this is the right shape for

The clearest fit is a business that already produces content in another medium and needs a video channel without hiring for it: a blog with an archive worth republishing, a podcast with no visual presence, an ecommerce store that needs a steady stream of short social pieces. The videos-per-month pricing suits anyone with a publishing calendar, because you can work out the tier from the calendar rather than from a credit calculator.

It is a weaker fit in two situations. If your video work is bursty rather than regular, a monthly video count will either sit unused or run out at the worst moment. And if you need one recognisable presenter appearing in everything you publish, the monthly custom-avatar allowance is a slightly awkward way to buy that; platforms that allocate standing digital twin slots fit that intention better. Otherwise the proposition is unusually easy to evaluate: five free videos, no card, and thirty seconds each is enough to see whether the output looks like something you would put your name on.

The case for Zebracat AI

Zebracat suits the business that already publishes in text or audio and cannot keep up with video. Feed it a prompt, a script, a blog URL, your website URL or an audio file, and it returns an edited short-form video with generated scenes, smart cuts, editable captions and music, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. For a podcaster with no video channel, or a blog with two years of archive, that is a direct route into a medium you are currently absent from.

The pricing is unusually easy to read

Plans are counted in finished videos per month rather than credits, so the tier follows your publishing calendar. Cat Mode at 39 dollars a month, or 19 billed annually, covers 15 videos of any length with 1080p export, watermark removal, commercial rights, a brand kit and standard voices across 175-plus languages. Super Cat at 99 dollars, or 49 annually, moves to 40 videos and adds 5 custom avatars and 5 voice clones a month, more than 120 premium avatars, premium voices and translation into 25-plus languages. Unlimited Cat at 199 dollars, or 99 annually, removes the video cap and doubles the avatar and clone allowances. Enterprise starts at 599 dollars with API access and custom models. The free plan gives 5 videos of up to 30 seconds with no card required, and paid plans carry a 7-day money-back guarantee while no video has been downloaded. Pricing checked August 2026.

Who should look at something else

If you already have hours of recorded footage and the job is cutting it into clips, Opus Clip is built for that and Zebracat is not. If you need one recognisable presenter in everything you publish, HeyGen and Synthesys X allocate digital twins as standing slots rather than a monthly quota. If your source material is long-form written work such as decks, PDFs and documentation, Pictory handles those formats directly. And if output is lumpy rather than steady, a credit-based platform will absorb a launch spike better than a fixed video count.

For steady, calendar-driven publishing from text or audio you already own, though, Zebracat is one of the simplest decisions in this category, and the free plan settles it in an afternoon.
