A Faceless.video alternative with more formats and more networks
Same idea, a free start, and posting past the big three
Short answer: Yes, if you want more than one look per channel or you post beyond TikTok, YouTube and Instagram: TallyReel has a free plan, more formats and 15 networks. If you want the cheapest way to run several hands-off series on those three apps, Faceless.video's Daily plan is hard to beat.
Pick Faceless.video if you run several story Shorts series on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram and want the most videos for the money.
Pick TallyReel if you want to try before paying, or you post to Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Threads as well.
Faceless.video and TallyReel are close twins. Both turn a niche or an idea into a short faceless video, both can write, make and post on a schedule, and both are sold as a monthly plan. On Faceless.video every subscription is a Series: you pick a niche, its agents draft each video, and it posts to one TikTok, YouTube or Instagram account on the schedule you set.
TallyReel starts from the same place, one idea, and writes a script with a hook and planned shots that you can edit before anything renders. The differences are in what comes out and where it goes: narrated stories, stick-figure and cartoon skits, comic stories, quizzes, promos and AI host videos, in 44 languages with native Hindi and Urdu, scheduled to 15 networks on every plan. This page sets the two side by side, with Faceless.video prices checked on its pricing page on 2026-10-18.

Where Faceless.video is better
- A longer rollover. Faceless.video keeps unused credits longer than TallyReel, which rolls them over for one month, up to a month's amount.
- Credits roll over, so a quiet month isn't wasted, and the top-up packs get cheaper per credit as you buy more.
- It is built around hands-off series from the first click. Every subscription is a Series with its own posting schedule, and Daily and up connect unlimited accounts.
- Its themed looks (fantasy, cyberpunk, historical figures, creepy) are tuned for the story Shorts it makes, so a new channel can look consistent fast.
Where TallyReel is better
- You can start free. 300 free credits (about 3 videos) and 10 scheduled posts a month cost nothing, and you see real output before you pay.
- It schedules to 15 networks, not 3. Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, X, Bluesky and the rest are in every plan, and you choose the exact posting time.
- More formats from one place: stick-figure and cartoon skits, comic stories, quizzes, promos and AI host videos, plus 16:9 YouTube videos of 3 to 15 minutes.
- Native Hindi and Urdu, written as people speak them rather than translated, and 44 languages in all.
- Studio lets you own it. One payment, unlimited videos on your own Mac or PC, and no credits.
Pick Faceless.video if
- You run several story Shorts series on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram and want the most videos for the money.
- You like credits that roll over and want the setup to run with no input after day one.
Pick TallyReel if
- You want to try before paying, or you post to Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Threads as well.
- You want skits, cartoons, quizzes, AI hosts, long YouTube videos or Hindi and Urdu, not only one story format.

What each plan really costs
Faceless.video lists four plans on its pricing page, checked on 2026-10-18: Starter at $20 a month for 30 credits (up to 15 videos) and one social account, Daily at $35 for 60 credits (up to 30 videos), Double at $59 for 120 credits (up to 60 videos) and Studio at $149 for 350 credits (up to 175 videos). Daily and up allow unlimited social accounts. There is a yearly toggle that says it saves 30%, but the yearly figures weren't shown, so we don't quote them here. Credits roll over, and active subscribers can top up 10 credits for $8, 50 for $35 or 200 for $120.
TallyReel has a free plan with 300 free credits once (about 3 videos up to 30 seconds, with a small mark) and 10 scheduled posts a month. Starter is $19 a month for 4,000 credits and videos up to 3 minutes, Plus is $39 for 10,000 credits and up to 5 minutes, and Pro is $79 for 22,000 credits and up to 15 minutes. 100 credits are a minute of stock video, billed by the second, so 4,000 credits is about 67 stock Shorts of 35 seconds or 33 AI picture Shorts. Top-ups are 2,000 credits for $12. Studio, opening 9 November, is a one-time $49 until 30 November and $149 after, with unlimited videos made on your own computer.
TallyReel's cloud plans give more short videos per dollar: about $0.28 a stock Short or $0.58 an AI picture Short on Starter, against about $1.17 a video on Faceless.video Daily and $0.98 on Double. TallyReel's free plan and wider posting add to that. If you would rather pay once, Studio costs less than four months of Faceless.video Daily.
Posting: three apps or fifteen networks
Faceless.video posts each Series to one account on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram. Its help text says you can set how often a Series posts, not the exact time. For many faceless channels that is all you need, since those three apps are where Shorts get watched.
TallyReel's posting covers 15 networks: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Pinterest, Reddit, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Tumblr and Google Business. You set the date and time for each post, and posting runs from the server, so your laptop can be closed. If a Facebook Page or Pinterest board brings you a meaningful share of views, that is the difference that matters.
One format or many
Faceless.video starts every channel from what it calls a proven format, and its examples are story Shorts in themed looks. That is a sensible bet: story channels are the bread and butter of faceless YouTube. The risk is that channels built from the same format can look alike, and YouTube's inauthentic content policy targets mass-produced, repetitive uploads.
TallyReel gives you more ways to make a channel look like yours. You can write narrated stories, stick-figure and cartoon skits, comic stories, quizzes and top 10 lists, promos for a business, or AI host videos with one or two lip-synced hosts. You can plan a series of up to 30 episodes at once and, on Plus and Pro, let autopilot run it. Whatever you pick, you still read and edit each script, which is the best defense against sameness.
- Narrated story Shorts and 16:9 YouTube videos of 3 to 15 minutes with chapters
- Stick-figure and cartoon skits, and comic stories
- Quizzes, top 10 lists and promos
- AI host videos: 6 built-in hosts, or your own from a description or a drawn character
Switching from Faceless.video
Download the videos you want to keep, and note which niches and hooks did best. In TallyReel, type the idea for your next episode, or paste a script that worked, and edit the draft. Plan the next stretch of the series in one go, connect the same TikTok, YouTube and Instagram accounts plus any others you want, and set the posting times.
Be honest with yourself about volume. If you post three or more Shorts a day across several channels, look at Plus and Pro first, and Studio is the TallyReel route that keeps cost flat at high volume.
Where TallyReel falls short
TallyReel is in beta, so it is newer and less proven than Faceless.video. TallyReel credits roll over for one month, up to a month's amount, which is shorter than Faceless.video's rollover. Cloud video length is capped by plan: 30 seconds on Free, 3 minutes on Starter, 5 on Plus and 15 on Pro. Stock footage depends on what the libraries have for your topic, though TallyReel can make AI pictures instead. Studio needs an Apple silicon Mac or 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with 8 GB of memory or more, and its installers aren't yet signed with paid certificates, so the first open asks you to confirm.
