AI video creation for faceless YouTube
Make AI videos stupidly easy. Absurdly cheap.
Turn your finished script into AI visuals, motion graphics, voiceover and a complete video, without building every scene and edit by hand. Your first 25 scenes are free, and you do not need an API key to start.
Made with BuildTuber
See what you can make with it
Six preset styles, each shown with a clip from a video made in the app. From stickman explainers to cinematic documentaries and animated motion graphics.
Premium Documentary
Animated maps, archival photographs and cinematic titles, with every source credited on screen.
Painterly History
Illustrated historical scenes with on-screen dates and captions, for long-form narration.
Fast-Paced Motion
Brisk editorial cuts, expressive captions and light motion graphics chosen for the script.
Clean Stickman
Flat illustrated characters on plain backgrounds, the format most psychology channels use.
Storybook Stickman
The same characters placed into painted storybook environments.
Photo Stickman
Illustrated characters composited into photographic scenes, with captions burned in.
These are videos we made with BuildTuber, not customer submissions. Each clip is a short excerpt, so the pacing is tighter than a finished upload.
How it works
Your script. Your style. Your finished video.
Four steps, all of them in the browser. Nothing to install and no spreadsheet to copy.
02
Choose your style and voice
Pick a visual preset and a voice that fits the video.
03
Generate your scenes
BuildTuber creates the visuals and voiceover. Review or regenerate anything you do not like.
04
Edit and export
Preview the video, make final adjustments and export the MP4.
Inside the app
The workflow itself, once you are past the first video.
Step one. Each line of narration becomes a scene, so you control where the scene breaks fall rather than letting the app guess. 
Step two. Pick a voice, generate the narration and hear it before committing to the visuals. 
Step three. Every style shows the mix of visuals it uses and an estimated total for the video before anything is generated. 
Step four. Watch the whole thing in order, adjust transitions and captions, then export.
Visual types
Not every scene needs to be another AI image
Make videos with the right kind of visual for the story. Availability depends on the workflow, the style you pick and your plan.
AI images
Create illustrated or realistic scenes, with reference images to help hold a recognisable look from one shot to the next.
AI video
Add motion where a still frame is not enough, without making every scene expensive.
Motion graphics
Use animated text and graphics for explanations, comparisons and fast-moving ideas.
Research and archive options
Plan documentary-style visuals around research and archival material. Review the factual claims, the sources and the usage rights before publishing.
Your own assets
Bring in your screenshots, images and video clips when generated visuals are not the right fit.
Voiceover and auto editing
Put narration and scenes together inside the same workflow instead of managing the whole timeline by hand.
Plans
Start free. Choose how you want to create.
Try BuildTuber with 25 free scenes. When you are ready to make more, choose included monthly credits or connect your own API keys.
Pro
$49.99per month
A simpler way to start if you would rather not manage a provider account for every generation.
- $25 in generation credits every month
- Unused credits roll over, up to a $50 balance
- Up to 10 saved projects
- Supported visual presets, editing and export as listed in the app
Lifetime
$99one time
A good fit if you prefer direct provider billing and want to control generation costs yourself.
- Bring your own supported API keys
- Provider usage billed separately, directly to you
- Up to 3 saved projects
- No monthly BuildTuber generation credits included
Pro includes $25 in credits, which is not a fixed number of videos. What a video costs depends on its length, scene count, models, motion graphics, voiceover and retries. Lifetime users pay their chosen providers directly. The Plans screen inside the app is the source of truth for current prices, features and limits, and is where checkout happens.
What does a video actually cost?
You should not have to guess what you are spending on AI video generation. The price depends on the model, the number of scenes, the voiceover length, how much generated motion you use and how many retries you need. An image-led video can be a lot cheaper than one with AI video in every shot. The app estimates the cost of the whole video before you generate it, broken down by the mix of visuals the style uses, so you can choose the tradeoff while you are still deciding.

Why YouTube Automation Doesn't Work in 2026 (and What Actually Works)
YouTube automation is easier than ever in 2026, but production is no longer the advantage. Here is what actually matters for a faceless YouTube channel now.
Frequently asked questions
Is BuildTuber a script-to-video AI generator?
Yes. You bring a finished script, and BuildTuber plans the scenes, creates the visuals and voiceover, lets you review the production and exports a video. You still make the creative decisions and review the final result.
Can I try it without paying?
Yes. Start with a 25-scene free trial in the web app. The free-tier capabilities and limits are shown there, so you can see what is available before upgrading.
Do I need my own API keys?
Not to try the free scene allowance. Pro includes monthly generation credits. Lifetime uses your own supported API keys, with the provider charges billed to you separately.
Can I use motion graphics and AI video as well as images?
Yes. BuildTuber supports several visual types, including AI images, AI video, motion graphics and your own supplied assets. Which ones are available depends on the workflow, the style you choose and your plan.
Do unused Pro credits expire?
No. Unused generation credits roll over, up to a maximum balance of $50. The plan terms in the app are the authoritative version.
Does BuildTuber guarantee YouTube monetization or views?
No. The product helps with production. You are still responsible for originality, factual accuracy, copyright permissions, video quality and YouTube's publishing and monetization requirements.
Where do I create a video or upgrade?
Everything happens in the BuildTuber app at app.buildtuber.com. There is no external storefront to visit and no Google Sheets add-on to install.
