The main difference

Fliki gives you a narrated video you finish in an editor. It drafts a script, voices it with an AI voice, matches each scene to stock footage or AI clips, adds captions and music, and exports in the ratio you pick, so you trim and swap clips in its timeline. ViewGum makes a short for the vertical feed. It writes a script with a hook in the first seconds, puts a picture or animation under each scene, times one-line captions to each word inside one safe zone that clears all four apps, and you change the short by asking in chat.

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.

Each platform decides what it pays for, and nothing here promises views or earnings. The rules in plain words: Can you monetize AI shorts?
