[ YouTube ] comments:

Pros:

  • Offers useful features like lip-sync, AI voices, and autosubtitle generation.
  • Can produce polished animations with tutorials to ease learning.

Cons:

  • Stability issues: frequent crashes, bugs, and performance problems.
  • Non-intuitive interface: steep learning curve without tutorials.
  • Limited functionality: lacks features like "continue scene" and flexible in-scene edits.
  • Customer support complaints: subscription and refund issues.

A [ Reddit ] user mentioned they've been using Animaker’s pro version for a few years and appreciate its ability to create custom content quickly with solid features. However, they’re frustrated that technical glitches often occur during tight deadlines, and it takes the support team over a day to resolve them.

They also dislike how rendering a 5-minute video takes 3–4 hours.
