The main difference
Creatify is built around product ads. You paste a product link, it pulls your assets, writes the script, picks an AI avatar and returns a video ad you tune in a node-based editor, with variations to test. ViewGum has no AI avatars. It cuts your own talking-head take into a vertical short, with the hook first, pauses cut and captions timed to your words. Or it makes a faceless short from a typed topic, with a script, a voiceover and a picture or animation for each scene.
Made for monetizable content
- An original script written for your topic, not a template.
- Your own voice on a talking-head edit, or an AI voiceover on a faceless short.
- Visuals made for each scene, in a Cutout, Paper or Cartoon look, so the short is transformed, not reposted.
- Guidance on labeling AI content: How to label AI videos
Each platform decides what it pays for, and nothing here promises views or earnings. The rules in plain words: Can you monetize AI shorts?
