How to choose
Match autonomy level first: code-based agents like OpenMontage suit devs, while text-to-video tools like Vid.AI fit non-technical users. Check pricing against volume—some cap at low monthly output while others scale via revenue share. Verify platform exports and voice licensing to avoid post-production blocks. Avoid agents with zero real usage metrics if you need reliable batch production.
