FAQ
AITube vs Artlist: common questions
Is AITube a good Artlist alternative?
Choose Artlist when licensed music, sound effects and stock footage matter as much as AI video, or you want its Studio, Agent and editing plugins in one subscription. Choose AITube to pay per clip with no subscription, keep credits that roll over or never expire, download your videos after you cancel, and publish where views pay. Where Artlist is stronger: Editors and filmmakers who need a licensed music, sound-effects and footage library plus AI tools, with plugins for Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop.
Is Artlist free?
Partly. A free Artlist account gets 1 video on a low-cost model, 2 images, 3 voiceovers and 2 songs with no card, but free generations can't be downloaded. On AITube a free account can watch and publish; save a card on Stripe's page (no charge) and your first AI video is free in HD, and you can download it (with a small Made on AITube mark until you buy any pack or plan).
Can I download my Artlist AI videos after I cancel?
Artlist's help center says that once a subscription expires you can't download the content you generated. On AITube your videos stay downloadable after a plan ends, and an account that has ever paid gets them without the Made on AITube mark.
Which is cheaper per clip, Artlist or AITube?
It depends on the model. On AI Starter billed yearly, Artlist's credit table (12 November 2026) prices an 8-second Veo 3.1 clip with sound at about $2.47 and a 10-second Kling 4.0 clip at 1080p at about $2.00. AITube shows each model's exact price before you generate and lists every model on its pricing page; it needs no subscription, and its credits don't reset.
Does Artlist train AI on my content?
Its pricing page has said since 2 November 2026 that customer data isn't used to train AI models. AITube's Terms of Service say the same about your uploads, prompts and voice recordings, with Prompt Battle entries as the one exception.
What does Artlist do better?
Licensed music, sound effects and stock footage in the same subscription, Song Match, AI music on Google Lyria 3, a Studio with camera and lens controls, an Agent that shows the cost before each run, and plugins for Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop. It also runs big-prize contests, such as $250,000 for Seedance 2.5 in August 2026.
