PLATFORM COMPARISON
OpenArt is the better pick for story videos. Affogato is for commercial work: a commercial licence on every paid plan, guided studios for product, fashion and presenters, credits that roll over, and prices shown per model.
Both bundle the leading image and video models behind one credit plan. OpenArt leans into stories: multi-scene videos with consistent characters, storyboards and drama formats. Affogato leans into commercial jobs: product shoots, fashion, presenters and influencers, in guided studios.

The brief: a creator account on Instagram and TikTok, with the same person in every post. It starts from one portrait. Each image and clip below is the unedited output of the step it sits under.
01 · Influencer Studio
One clear portrait becomes the reference. Every post after it starts from the same face, so followers see one person, not a lookalike.
Open Influencer Studio
02 · Influencer Studio
Describe the scene and the outfit; the face carries over. Stills come out at 9:16 for Stories, Reels and TikTok.
Open Influencer Studio
03 · Video Studio
Any still becomes the first frame of a short vertical clip: here, a UGC-style product review filmed on her phone.
Open Video Studio04 · Video Editor
Drop the clips on a timeline in the browser, trim, add captions and a soundtrack, and export a 1080p MP4. Everything you made above is already in your library.
Open Video EditorThe whole brief: 265 credits ($1.90–$3.18 depending on plan), priced from the live catalog.
Made on November 15, 2026 with the engines Influencer Studio runs: Nano Banana Pro for the portrait, Nano Banana Pro Edit for the scenes, Kling 3.0 Standard for the clip. She is an AI-generated person, made for this demo.
