What is the difference between Hypernatural and Cutroom?
Hypernatural builds a video from a prompt or a script. Cutroom edits a video you already filmed of yourself.
- Hypernatural makes the pictures with AI. Cutroom shows real footage: you, then your own clips, then free stock clips.
- Hypernatural can put the same AI character in every scene. In Cutroom, the person on screen is the one who filmed the video.
- Hypernatural uses AI voices for the narration. In Cutroom the voice is your own, and on Punch and Native the ums that show up in your transcript are taken out.

Questions people ask
- What is the best Hypernatural AI alternative?
- InVideo or Pictory, if you want to turn a script into a video with stock footage. Revid or Crayo for faceless shorts, HeyGen for an avatar video, and Cutroom if you film yourself and want b-roll that matches what you say.
- How much does Hypernatural cost?
- Hypernatural Starter is $39 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly, for 1,000 credits. Pro is $99 a month, or $69 billed yearly, for 2,500 credits. Business is $299 a month for 5,500 credits. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing period.
- Is Hypernatural free?
- No, but you can try it. Its "Start for free" is a 3-day free trial of a paid plan with 300 trial credits, and your card is charged on day 4 unless you cancel. Every Hypernatural plan lists HD exports with no watermark.
- I have no footage of myself. Can I still use Cutroom?
- Only with an avatar. On Basic and up, you record a voiceover, add a photo, and an avatar talks for you. Cutroom cannot start from a script alone. If you only have a script, InVideo, Pictory or Hypernatural is the better choice.
- Can I download my Cutroom video, or is there a paywall at the end?
- You can download it. The export price shows on the Export button before you press it. The free video carries a Cutroom mark across the middle; paid plans put nothing on it. You get 600 credits and 7 days to make it.
- Will Cutroom work with my kind of video?
- Yes, if it is one upright video of a person talking, up to 3 minutes, with sound. You get back an upright 1080 by 1920 video. Landscape and silent videos are refused at upload, before any credits are charged. It works in 8 languages, including English, Spanish, German and French.
- Can I get my money back?
- Yes for your first Cutroom charge, in full, if you tell us within 7 days. Later, we refund unused time when something went wrong on our side. Credits spent on finished videos are not refunded. A failed export refunds its credits by itself.
If a video of yourself is already on your phone, upload it and see what comes back. Your first video is free.
