The 5 traps to avoid when choosing software AI video

1. The hidden automatic renewal

Several tools (including Filmora) enable automatic renewal by default upon registration. Always check the cancellation policy before entering your CB — Some invoice the full year as soon as you forget to cancel before the renewal date.

2. Appropriations which expire without warning

Kling AI, Vidnoz and other tools operate on a monthly basis which cannot be combined. If you don't produce video this month, your credits disappear. The actual cost per minute of video produced can double or triple if you don't use ittool regularly.

3. The invisible watermark in demo, visible to export

The preview in the interface is sometimes without watermark — but export in free plan it automatically adds. Always test a full export before committing. On Vidnoz, InVideo AI and Filmora free, watermark is present on all exports.

4. The French voices « window » which hide a poor quality

Some tools display 1 or 2 convincing French voices in their demo — but their real FR catalogue is limited to robotic or generic voices. Always test several different French voices before you subscribe. EvenLabs and Murf AI are the only ones with a truly qualitative FR catalogue.

5. The actual cost per minute very different from the price displayed

A plan to 22 €/month may seem affordable — but if it includes only 10 minutes of video (like Synthesia Starter), the cost per minute is 2.2 €. Always calculate your actual monthly production and divide by the included quota to compare the tools with equivalent volume.

Software AI free video that really is worth it

• Kaiber AI — 50 credits offered for registration, without CB
