Hyzgen vs StoryShort
A StoryShort alternative that also makes the ads.
StoryShort is an AI video generator for faceless shorts with scheduled posting. Hyzgen covers the same ground and adds the rest of a brand's marketing: ads, product photos, creator videos and a brand profile read from your website.
StoryShort describes itself as an AI video generator: it writes the script, plans the scenes, makes AI images or AI video clips, adds voice, captions and music, and can post to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram on a schedule. Its help centre, read on 9 October 2026, lists four plans at $39, $69, $129 and $199 a month with 400, 1,200, 2,400 and 5,000 credits, about 40% less billed yearly, and says a 30 second video with AI images costs about 15 credits on its basic image model. One plan gives access to several third-party video models billed per second. Its site is in English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
Hyzgen started as a functional equivalent of that kind of tool and kept the faceless pipeline: script, scene images, native voice, word-timed captions, music, series that post themselves. The difference is everything around it. Hyzgen reads your website into a brand profile and makes static ads, carousels, 2K product photos, creator product reviews with your real product and remakes of ads you liked, all from that one profile, with 39 languages for every video.
