Vidu alternatives

Vidu generates short videos from text prompts, images or reference images. It offers character-consistent reference video, upscaling, a free tier, and access on web, desktop, CLI and API. When choosing a replacement, check whether you need API access or non-web platforms, since several alternatives are web-only. Also weigh audio output, reference and character consistency, and price: most alternatives are listed as similar in price, Flow AI as pricier, and Plexigen as paid.
