FacelessHype vs Zebracat (2026): price per video and which makes more viral Shorts

FacelessHype vs Zebracat is mostly a question of how you are charged. Zebracat's plans count videos, at any length, plus a pool of AI credits. FacelessHype charges credits by length and quality, so a 30 second Short costs less than a one minute one.

Zebracat's numbers below come from its pricing page and help center, read on November 1, 2026. Some of its own pages disagree with each other, and we say where. Ours are on the pricing page.

The comparison table

The Zebracat price per video is our arithmetic: $39 divided by the 15 videos Cat Mode allows. An older price block still on its home page shows a different Cat Mode (120 credits a month), so we used the pricing page.

Price per video

On the cheapest plans. Zebracat Cat Mode is $39 a month for 15 videos, about $2.60 each whatever the length. FacelessHype Starter is $19 a month: a 30 second AI photo Short is $0.68, and the plan covers about 27 of them.

AI video. Zebracat offers models like Veo, Kling and Seedance and draws them from the same 350 AI credits, but does not publish how many credits a clip costs. Its help page lists other rates per minute, such as 5 credits a minute for image based videos and 4 for its best voices. A FacelessHype 30 second AI video Short is $2.66 with Veo 3.1 Lite, and the price is on the button before you make it.

Yearly. Zebracat says yearly billing saves 40 percent, which brings Cat Mode to $23 a month, about $1.53 a video. On our biggest plan billed yearly, a 30 second AI photo Short is $0.48 and an AI video Short is $1.85.

Our plan credits do not roll over, credits you buy never expire, and all payments are final.

Which one makes more viral Shorts?

No tool can promise views. Both tools try to show you what already works.

Zebracat says it analyzes viral videos to surface winning formats in your niche, and it writes hook scripts. We did not find trend templates like fruit dramas or stickman on its pages, or a way to paste a viral video link and remake it.

FacelessHype gives you:

• A viral feed of trending Shorts for each format, each linked to the original post.
• Remix from a link. Paste a TikTok, YouTube or Instagram link and FacelessHype plans your own version, with new pictures and voice, never the original footage.
• Hook ideas. Five scored opening lines for your topic.
• Trending formats. Fruit dramas, talking objects, history POV and stickman explainers.

Where Zebracat wins

• Posting for you. It schedules and posts to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. FacelessHype does not post.
• Flat price for longer Shorts. A 2 minute video counts as one of your 15.
• Avatars, voice cloning and 170 or more languages on its bigger plans.
• Model routing. It can send each scene to a different video model.
• An API, an MCP server and Zapier style integrations.

Where FacelessHype wins

• Cheaper per Short. $0.68 for a 30 second AI photo Short against about $2.60 a video.
• Lower entry price. $19 against $39.
• A clear AI video price. $2.66 for 30 seconds, shown before you start.
• Trending formats and link remix next to the create button.
• Long videos up to 50 minutes on Pro and Studio.
